ZWOW #4

Didn't think I'd be that sore after yesterday's workout but I am...my butt was sore!

But woke up and did ZWOW#4.

• 50 pendulums
• 20 burpees
• 15 kettlebell swings
• 10 push up/leg twist touch
• 5 squat with broomstick
• 2 mins jumprope

3 rounds as fast as possible.

Modifications:

• obviously can't do pendulums as high as the video but still did it all :)
• burpees without the pushups
• didn't have a kettle bell so just used my weights (4kg altogether)
• 1st round of the push ups I did 8 of the pushups with twist then 2 regular on knees, then for the other 2 rounds I did 20 pushups on my knees
• didn't have a skipping rope but did high knees

Times:

Round 1: 7:47

Round 2: 8:21

Round 3: 9:15

Total time was 26:45 and burned 268 calories.

Kept my HRM going while I warmed down and at the end of 31.39 mins I burned 306 calories!

Great workout today.

ZWOW #3

Had a rest day yesterday and I feel great today.

Back into it today with ZWOW #3. Which consists of:

• split squat lunge
• one leg lunge
• pushups/superman
• skaters

The way this one works is you do a pyramid style workout as fast as possible:

1. 5 reps
2. 10 reps
3. 15 reps
4. 10 reps
5. 5 reps

I actually found it quite easy.  No modifications and I just used my 2kg weights on the one leg lunges.  I don't think I could quite do the super mans properly as my core strength is up the creek but that's ok.

Completed this in 17.33 mins and burned 167 calories.

Yay!

Tramps

Tonight was the first time I did the trampoline class. So much fun but also very intense. My legs and arms were so sore from the past few days of exercise this class just topped it off! Tomorrow is definitely a rest day.  In 41.27 minutes I burned 286 calories. SUHWEET!

Starting to feel good

What an amazing workout tonight was.  Actually glad I didn't get up early for the ZWOW.

Boxing was so intense tonight, combined with a lot of cardio on mini trampolines it was so much fun! I burnt 511 cals in 49.24 mins. A record!

Looking forward to trying the trampoline class tomorrow night. Yay!

Pilates

Found pilates really hard tonight because my muscles are really sore. But in 45 mins I burned 187 cals.

Won't do ZWOW tomorrow either as muscles are so sore and doing boxing tomorrow night so don't want to over do it.

Zumba and break from ZWOW

Tonight did 43.35 mins of zumba and burned 330 cals.

My muscles are so sore, feels like every one of them is aching.  I'm torn between doing ZWOW 3 tomorrow and taking a break on Wednesday or taking a break tomorrow AND Wednesday.  Leaning towards taking a break tomorrow and Wednesday as I  don't want more soreness and to injure myself in the process.

Will be doing pilates tomorrow and boxing on Wednesday so that's ok.

I know I said the other day that getting up early will be the problem...it's not...it's definitely the muscle soreness! So definitely not counting this as a failure.  As soon as muscles have recovered a bit (by Thursday I'm hoping) I'll be getting back into it.  Even if I have to do 2 days on, 2 days off or something.

ZWOD #2

Day 2 of July and time for ZWOD #2

This one consists of:

• 5 x Manmakers
• 20 x low burpee hops
• 10 x twisted push ups
• 25 x competition sit-ups

3 rounds as fast as possible.

My modifications:

• Manmakers - used 2kg dumbbells as that's all I have and did the push up and row on my knees
• low burpee hops - just did normal burpee without the pushup but did the low hop thingy
• twisted push ups - did normal pushups on my knees as my back is a bit iffy and don't want to risk injuring it
• competition sit ups - just did normal sit ups

Ok so I did modifications on all exercises but that's ok as I figure as I get fitter the less modifications I'll have to do!

Times for each round:

Round 1: 8:14
Round 2: 8:41
Round 3: 8:46

By the way my total time for this one was 25:41 and I burned 198 cals.

Now it's 6am and time to get ready for work!
