Legs and Glutes

Oh, yowsa indeedy! Easter Sunday has seen me tackle Cathe's Legs and Glutes and my glutes were absolutely screaming! I added a run to this as well. I don't use a lot of weight, rather I focus on the actual movement, being as precise as possible. It is amazing how effective you can be training your lower body without using a lot of equipment or heavy weights. Though they have their place of course.

Yesterday I did RPM 28 and had a nice long walk and the combination of these two workouts is giving me a nice steady progression of DOMS.

Today's pic is of Amy Bento's All Pump Extreme which is hitting my mailbox any day now. Amy has an amazing number of "premixes" in her workouts, which means I am getting 6 or 7 different workouts for my $ which is good value. I have "met" Amy via phone and she radiates real energy when she talks about her filming projects. It is amazing what workouts are out there when you dig around enough.

I have enjoyed a couple of solid Easter Eggs with DH and the girls. I think if I hadn't indulged I would have some huge "sense of entitlement" feelings happening. Now I have had my chocolate fix and feel happily satisfied.

I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Easter!

Smacking the paper tiger!

DH is now officially off to South Africa and rather than feel really sad, I'm throwing myself into an official month of productivity. I cleaned the house from top to toe this morning, restocked the fridge with plenty of fresh veggies and washed all the sheets. I'm going to attack all the things that I keep putting off, like the pile of junk I have accumulating for Ebay. I also spent this morning brainstorming some ways to keep running whilst DH is gone (there is no such thing as a treadmill here) and I've decided to take the girls to the local footy field at dusk and crank out a few sprints with them and turn getting fit into a game!

I didn't train today, but yesterday I tried Amy Bento's Kickbox Extreme. It is more kickbox inspired as opposed to pure kickboxing and I was surprised that I didn't get as much of a workout as I had thought I would. Truthfully my mind started wandering at combo five, so I'm going to give it another shot before I shelve it. I've also got a copy of Kelley Coffey-Meyer's Step Boxing to try.

Tomorrow I'm back on the X with Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. That will be great!
