Sprints, Abs & Arms
Last night we headed to the track for some sprints, I was excited, at first. My legs were crazy sore from the hill sprints and leg workout still, my hamstrings were so, so tight. Even jogging one lap was kind of painful and I was tired after just that. Not sure why I've been dragging ass on my cardio this week, I haven't done anything inside, I'm just hoping it is the humidity getting to me. Kyle had me do 3x100m sprints with 5 burpees before each sprint, I only got through two sets then jogged a lap to cool down. I felt horrible but I pushed it hard on my sprints. At least it was about 20 minutes of pretty intense cardio. I still haven't gotten my damn watch to see how many calories I'm burning, seriously, I want it! Going to the track after work is great because we go as a family, Bella takes her soccer ball and while I run my ass off she and Kyle practice soccer :) She did run my laps with me though and ran faster than me :) Tomorrow I will be doing cardio indoors and hopefully it will go a bit better, looking forward to 30 minutes on the step mill! I realized this morning that I've never tracked my ab workouts, that is changing and they will be included :) I've made some progress, on my wide leg sit ups I can now do them with my legs crossed, much more difficult than having my legs straight out, that extra weight really helped, not anymore! I can also officially do a "Dreya Roll", that one is from P90X, it is very difficult, I did two in a row without "cheating" at all, yay!!! Kyle was with me this morning which meant a changed arm workout and more weight. He has so much faith in me, which I appreciate, at times though he gives me a weight and I just look at him like "are you kidding me?!?" He proved to me today that I am stronger than I think I am, my arms were on fire, it was quite the workout!
