Strength & Weight Loss

I love sit ups, can you tell?

CORE & LOWER:

50 squats*, 50 sit ups

40 squats*, 40 sit ups

30 squats*, 30 sit ups

20 squats*, 20 sit ups

10 squats*, 10 sit ups

FINISH AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN, REST WHEN NEEDED

*use weight for more of a challenge, modified ball squats

RUNNERS: add in a 3-8 mile run

  1. Jen, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I still can't sit on the toilet without cringing because my legs still hurt from all the squats on Wednesday and we won't even mention my back and shoulders from the sit-ups and push-ups! I pushed really hard on the treadmill today and went harder and faster than I have since my surgery.

  2. So this morning wasn't going well and I HAD to get my exercising done, because I didn't have time any other part of the day. The kids weren't cooperating, so since I didn't run yesterday, I thought "I will just go down and they will have to whine while I get at least a mile in. (Secretely I was a little glad because I was tired and didn't want to run) So a mile came and the little stinkers were being perfect! Henrie was sound asleep, and Clark was saying "you go faster Mom!" I got a 2.10 mile in and did the workout.
    Seriously! Do you realize that is 150 squats and 150 sit-ups! Judging by how long it took me to do the first 50 of each, I alternated and did a 1 minute wall sit and crunches on the ball for every other one. I feel so good!

    Holly, I forgot to tell you the unwritten law with Jen. If you say you don't like something, she makes you do more! =) So... Jen, I really LOVE squats and sit-ups ;)

    Have a fun weekend everyone!
