RushFit Week 5 day1

Ok since RushFit really isn't set up by strictly days but by weeks I need to stick to that.  Soooo week 5 day 1 was abdominal strength and core conditioning.  Not a bad workout but I did tap out for the back bends.  I just didn't have them in me today.  After work I went to the gym for this trial run of New rules of lifting for women.  Not really following the program but supporting someone who is trying it.  I did go through workout A today and worked up a sweat.  It isn't long but it does incorporate 60 second rests between sets.  That was new to me.  Back when I lifted consistently I didn't do a consistent rest after each set.  The weights were to be heavier but since I wasn't sure what was "heavy" to me I just picked a number and went with it.  I can go up some for some of the exercises.  My knee has been bugging me since I twisted it a bit earlier today and I could tell it wanted to ache a little doing step ups.  There were only 5 exercises with each done twice.  If it makes sense if felt like it was enough and then the brain said that wasn't much.  I have read reviews where others have felt bored during the first stage because if is repeated with alternating workouts A and B for about 6 weeks.  We may switch it before then depending on progress.

RushFit day 27

Week 4 day 6 of RushFit.  1 month in.  Strength and endurance workout today.  Progress is I feel stronger.  My knees feel more flexible.  No major wow wow visible changes but I press on.  Scale weight is only 3 pounds less that day 1.  I am sure my eating is in need of much improvement as always.  Next weeks starts a change in the plans but hopefully it will be an added bonus.  Will keep a check and see.

RushFit day 26

Balance and agility again.  It's the end of the day and I did this early this morning.  I hurt and I am sore.  This one created more sweat than some of the other ones!!  One more day and the first month will be done--Wow time flies!!!!!  Dinner-well that wasn't planned out.  I didn't feel well so didn't feel like doing much.  Tired.com

RushFit day 25

Today I added the last dvd in the set.  Explosive power training.  About 30 minutes--5 rounds of various plyometrics.  Jumps, lunges and jacks.  Burpees with and without knee tucks.  Jump squats with weights.  It was intense even though there were only 3-5 reps!!! After it was over I realized that I indeed enjoyed the push!!!

RushFit day 24

Today was day 24 fight conditioning.  Still working on those combos.  Maybe a little less discombobulated!!!  Haven't felt much soreness lately.  Might be time to kick it up a notch.

RushFit days 22 and 23

Monday began week 4 of RushFit.  Time flies when you're having fun!!!  Rotated back to the Full body strength and conditioning workout.  I dropped down to 8 lbs around the 4th round.  I should have tried to stick with the 10's.  Today was stretching for flexibility.  Mentally this is a good break even though it was on the 2nd day of the week.  Back to fighting tomorrow.  I thought I saw progress in the mirror.  I will take pictures at the end of the 4 weeks and compare.  I know if I don't progress it is likely the food issue.  Pressing forward.

RushFit day 20

It's the first day of Fall!!! My favorite season but my allergies don't always agree!!  Day 20 was fight conditioning.  Still working on coordination.  Gahhh. Endurance felt a little better. Still a sweaty mess at the end.  Looks like week 4 starts to crank up the intensity a bit.  Dropped 1.5 pounds so that better than the gain from last week.
