Variety is the spice of life. Well, I truly believe that variety keeps things interesting. Today's workout (which happened yesterday) was a 100-30-20 routine in which I did 5 sets of 100 consecutive jumps with a jump rope followed by 30 sit-ups followed by 20 regular push-ups.
I put 20 minutes on my stopwatch and went to work. I would do straight up jump rope and regular push-ups but I differentiated my sit-ups each round.
This is a pretty good work out and I look forward to adding reps as it becomes easier. When I finished my last push-up, I stopped the timer and there was 4:37 left on it. That means that I was able to accomplish the workout in 15:23...plus I stopped for a few seconds to get the mail from our mail carrier.
Pretty good start and it gives me a goal to shoot for next round!

Thursday Aug. 18---Cardio Day!
Got the boys on the bus this morning and then went on a bike ride. Thanks to my Garmin I know exactly how far and how fast (or not so fast) I was able to be on the bike.
I ended up going 10.07 miles in 36:50. That was good for a 3:39/mi. pace. I felt that I was pusing it pretty hard. It is a hilly course and there was a breeze. My best mile was 2:44- that was the downhill mile!!! And that mile coming back up the hill was my slowest at 5:29.
Tommorw is work day. Followed by one on Monday, and one on Tuesday...and then the kiddos come to school!! I'm really excited to get the year going!

Wednesday Aug. 17...Back to school
Well, the boys headed off to school this morning. 5th and 3rd grade. It's crazy how fast time flies by!!!
I still have a day of freedom until I'm off to school. Friday it all begins. No more 1/2 days, I'll be full time this year!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Even though I've not posted in a while I still have been exercising. I am still faithfully taking my Catalyst every morning, and my Arginine Extreme 30 minutes before each workout. I have also added Chocolate Muscle Gain immediately after my workout has ended. There's absolutely no doubt that the Catalyst has definitely leaned me down and toned me up!! And that is because I am able to do more reps with the Arginine Extreme helping me. And the Muscle Gain has brought on some added size as well.
I am currently doing Monday, Wednesday and Friday a 100 push-ups routine. I am on week for and this morning did sets of 20, 25, 20, 20 and 28 with 90 seconds rest between each set. I preceed the 100 push-ups workout with Ab Ripper from P90X. It's a really good workout and only takes about a half hour!!
It's good to be back here posting...I will try to do a better job being consistent!! I may have said that before... :-)
