So far so good.

Currently on day 3 of the burpee challenge so only 3 burpees today.  So far so good. Arms were a little sore today but perhaps because I did a few the other night?  Hoping over time it’ll improve my arm strength.

As mentioned previously, was going to do the ZWOWs but so far this burpee thing works.  Prob because it doesn’t take up too much time at the moment.  Perhaps by day 10 I’ll have to concentrate on giving it more time.

Wokout 1

So I have decided I need somewhere to record my exercise efforts, times, calories, rounds etc.  I am a regular exerciser and consider myself quite fit but need to step it up so why not keep myself honest and record it all in a blog for the world to potentially see?

Decided to start the ZWOW exercises today. Have been inspired by these exercise videos for a while but haven't had the guts to give them a crack.  There's no time like the present right? Every week Zuzana does bodyweight exercises which seem really tough!

Today I did ZWOD #1 which is:

• dive bombers x 10
• burpees x 5
• squat leg lift x 20/leg
• burpees x 5
• side plans lift x 10/side
• burpees x 5
• pistol squat x 10/leg
• burpees x 5

3 rounds as fast as possible.

As I have no upper body or core or for that matter leg (!!) strength the dive bombers were done on my knees, the side plank lifts on my elbows and I did single leg squats.

However I did complete the workout in 23:18 and burned 207 calories.  Not bad for someone recovering from gastro.

Until the next time...
