Circuit training this morning.
But first yesterday: did about an hour of yard work, and that is HARD WORK. Cleared out the garden space and the front plot. I have to put down some compost top soil before planting, but at least it is cleared out. But I was wiped. Ended up napping in the afternoon.
This morning:
30 tuck jumps
40 mountain climbers
10 push-ups
20 burpees
20 rope swings
40 lunge jumps
10 medicine ball throws, each side
20 step-ups
20 v sit ups
Repeat 3x.
Then
40 jumping jacks
12 bw dips
repeat 3x.
Done.

missed a day
I did lift yesterday. Just didn't get a chance to get it down. But rather than try to remember, I'll just say it went pretty well and it was a nice full body.
Did some circuits this morning:
50 jumping jacks
50 mountain climbers
12 pushups touching shoulders
20 burpees
20 v sit ups
20 step-ups
20 get-ups
12 girlie push-ups
repeat 2x
Then I did 30 walking lunges and 20 twist sit ups...repeat 2x
Took just over half an hour.
Going to be hot today. Again.

Tuesday April 3rd
Bodyweight circuit. I looked to a Bodyrock video:
http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/11/27/the-trainer-who-loved-me-workout/
I modified it, though. I couldn't do the monkey business exercises without feeling like a complete idiot, and I did it in a circuit rather than each straight through. So three times, with 20 reps each:
20 jump up and star lift
20 walking lunges each side (the james bond thing is just dumb)
10 push-ups with shoulder touch
20 mountain climbers each side
30 second plank
Repeat 3x
It felt good. I liked that it had a fair amount of upper body work, as some of her videos seem to be more lower dominant. I've been doing these exercises for a few weeks, and I have noticed that my body seems more 'toned' (god, I hate that word). I have missed a period though, and that is concerning...

Thursday March 22: circuit
Circuit training this morning. I considered running, but decided to this instead.
50 jumping jacks
20 rope throws
20 mountain climbers
10 superman pushups
20 walking lunges, each leg
30 sec plank
10 burpees
10 front raises (12 lbs) each side
repeat 4x. Took 30 min
I am trying to find things to work both the upper and lower body for these. I still need to buy a sandbag, though.
I used the WiiFit to weigh myself the other day and I was upset by the result. It is probably better if I don't do that. It isn't going to make me happy regardless of what it says, and I don't know how accurate it is anyway.

Thursday March 25: circuit
Circuit training this morning
10 mountain climbers, each side
10 dive bombers
10 burpees
15 girlie pushups
50 jumping jacks
20 medicine ball throws to floor
10 woodchops, each side
Repeat 4x
Followed by about 5-10 min of core work
Total time: about 30 minutes.
Good workout. Definitely sweating at the end. I tried to get some more upper body work in there. I definitely want to buy a sandbag, and found one I like. I think that will really add to these workouts, and I may even be able to do them at home, which will save time.

Feeling better today. Still off work, but my doctor told me to stay home. I sent in some 'samples' for cultures this morning. They will probably come back negative, but it was not a bad idea to be tested.
I did circuit training this morning:
50 jumping jacks
8 burpees
side raises 10/side
8 burpees
50 high knee raises
20 squats
15 girlie push-ups
walking lunges: 20/side
woodchopper with 8 lb medicine ball
15 medicine balls throws to the floor
plank
repeat 3x
Then I did some core work and played with the ropes attached to the wall. I want to buy a sand bag: this workout was good for the lower body, but I feel the upper body is lacking. A sand bag would help with that.
I haven't eaten yet today; as long as I do not eat I feel ok. I'm going to try some lunch and see what happens.

Tuesday March 6th
I thought I started my period yesterday, but it seems to be MIA. Just a little spotting and that's it. This is somewhat upsetting...I thought I regained it regularly. I had two good months and now just spotting this month. Hopefully this is just a fluke. I didn't have a period for years, and it may just take some more time to be regular. I am upset because I really like the new circuit training, and I don't want the decreased period to be related to the training.
I just want to be able to be active AND healthy. But perhaps I have to re-think my training again.
Circuit training this morning:
10 divebombers
10 low jump burpees
5 man makers
20 walking lunges, each side
plank
50 jumping jacks
10 plank raises, each side
10 low jump burps
Repeat 3x. Took about 25 minutes. Felt good.
Feeling discouraged this morning, though. I'm hoping my period will make a comeback today.

Sunday March 4th
Went to the Y to do some circuit training. The family was staying home this morning, and I don't like biking when people are up and around...its too distracting to me.
60 jumping jacks
20 bw squats
10 mountain climbers each side
5 burpees
10 side plank raises, each side
5 burpees
20 walking lunges each leg
30 second plank
repeat 3x
took somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes. And my legs were shaking at the end. Good times.

Thursday, March 1st
On a recommendation, I checked out Zuzka's WOD (she is a former founder of bodyrocktv but no longer works there, supposedly due to some personal issues with the other male founder). On her own, she started a YouTube channel with similar workouts to bodyrocktv. When I inquired about bodyweight circuits on a private Facebook group I am a member of, she was recommended. So I did her first WOD with some modifications:
10 divebombers
5 burpees
10 side plank raises, each side
5 burpees
20 walking lunges, each side
10 ball throws with an 8 lb medicine ball
30 second plank
repeat 3x
followed by reverse wood chops with an 8 lb medicine ball: 10 each side
bw dips, 10 reps 2x
Brutal. Took half an hour and I was shaking and sweating at the end. I was looking for another form of cardio that would keep my brain interested and still be a good workout, and this was great. I think one of the reasons I dislike steady state cardio so much is that it is the SAME THING for half an hour. This kept switching up, which kept me focused. And it was short and sweet. I think my workout plan is going to be:
Monday: full body strength
Tuesday: bw circuits
Wed: full body strength
Thursday: bw circuits
Friday: full body strength
Sat: biking/off
Sun: biking/off
I may do some biking in the evenings on strength days, but it will depend on what the evening looks like. If I do, it will only be for 15-20 minutes.

Tuesday, February 28th
I tried circuit bodyweight training for the first time. I wanted to try something for cardio other than the general biking or treadmill.
Done in a circuit 3 times:
60 jumping jacks
10 burpees
walking lunges: about 40 (back and forth across the room)
wall-sit
dumb-bell swings (25 lbs)
high knees
plank
Took about half an hour. I was definitely slower by the end. I tried jumping rope, but don't know how to do it, so I didn't waste my time trying to figure it out. I also did a little more core work towards the end. I did like it, but I think I'm going to have to find some upper body work as well...maybe some light OL moves? Cleans or something? I'll try something new on Thursday.
