A Colden good morning!

Sometimes you just need to snuggle your blanket a little bit longer! Colden has a lot of business that he has to have when he sleeps. Some mornings this business follows him to breakfast. Most of the time it is only one item, and somedays it is a whole bunch. On this particular day he only had gimli.

Training Improvement

TRAINING DAY IMPROVEMENTS

   
     So I decided not to keep writing about every day I trained, solely on the fact that I really don't like typing and do not prefer to blog. However, Samantha has encouraged me to at least blog at the end of my week. For today, I am posting because I have improved immensely on my training.
     Saturday February 9th I just jogged the 2 miles just to jog. No time required, just needed to do a 2 mile jog. I jogged it with Copper my dog in 19 min. I could only do it in 22 minutes my first time.

Today February 12, 2013:

I ran a mile in 9:52 minutes

I did 25 push-ups in 0:45 seconds

I did 30 sit-ups in 1:45 minutes

     So as anybody who reads this can compare to my first day, I have made quite the improvement and am very proud for myself. Thanks for those who are supporting me, especially to Samantha and Colden and Sassafras! Love you guys! 

Training Day 4

     Alrighty then! So today Samantha had me do some conditioning workouts that she thought would help instead of just doing the requirements for the OSP tests. I did not exactly agree with it and neither did my body. I am very grateful for the support that Sam is giving. She is like my own Jillian Michaels, but less mean. So, for today's training day:

     TRAINING DAY 4: I started out with an ab workout. I took a ball, went up in front of myself, then to my left, and then the right, and back down again. I did this workout for 1 straight minute then rested for a minute, x3.

     Then I did burpees, and for anyone who knows what a burpee is, you know what I am talking about. From a squatting position, you jump straight up, into a squat, straight to a push-up, back to a squat, and then jump up again.

I did these for 1 minute straight then stretched and walked around for a minute, x3.

     After the burpees I did wall push-ups. Which are a lot harder than they sound. For these, I did them for 1 straight minute and rested for 30 seconds, x3.

     Lastly, Samantha and Colden even joined in on this. We found a clip on YouTube of a beginning Zumba dance class, and oh boy that was fun, and a workout!

     Like I was saying, I enjoyed that Samantha is pushing me to do something different and that I actually was very grateful for the workouts she has me doing. I am definitely feeling this tonight and even tomorrow I am sure.
