Zuzana is back. I used to do her workouts when she was on Bodyrock but they got a new girl (who is not as classy as Zuzka).
- Split squat jumps (in lunge position, jump up and down X times on one leg; then switch to other side)
- Single leg lunges with back foot on a chair (X times on one leg; then switch to the other side)
- Superman pushups (do a pushup, but come down to the floor and do a superman, then another pushup, floor, superman, etc…)
- Skaters
It was a pyramid scheme where you go through the rounds and do 5 reps, then 10, then 15, then 10, and finally 5 again. I just did it along with Zuzana and if I finished ahead of her I did jumping jacks. This workout took me about 18.5 minutes.
Here is me afterwards, sweaty face and all:
I definitely would like to build up some more tone, but I have stayed in shape from all the yoga. I can do pushups better than ever before.
And here is how I fueled up afterwards:
Roasted (no oil) kabocha and butternut squash. I stuck them in the oven at 475F right before I started the workout and they were ready 25 minutes later. I snapped the pic using this awesome app I just found called The Eatery. You take a picture of your food and other people judge whether it’s healthy or not.
So far for the week my other workouts have been…
- Monday – off (as planned)
- Tuesday – 3.75 miles running/incline walking (on treadmill)
- Wednesday – 1.5 miles walking (on my lunch hour) + some additional walking after work (1 mile or so) = 2.5 miles total
- Thursday (today) – 1ish mile walk at lunch, and the ZWOW I just finished.
Sometimes when you’re body talks, you have to listen. I’ve been dealing with the fatigue issues, and I have been having to dial it back a bit, esp. on the no-carb thing.
@Sarah: Good to know I’m not alone! And I can imagine the no/low-carb thing being incredibly difficult to maintain for your training.
