Once again the weekend took over!  It was full, it was fun but I was tired.  Friday was RushFit week 6 day 5 full body strength and conditioning-  Tough as usual!!!!
Saturday was supposed to be day 6 stretching for flexibility but it became an unscheduled rest day.  I got up before church yesterday at 5 and got it done.
Today was Week 7 day 1 strength and endurance.  Don't know why but the bodyweight exercises were tough.  The weights weren't really.  Guess I need to buy 12 lb dumbbells :(  Some things 15's are too much.  Still dealing with food intake as usual.  I didn't even bother to weigh this past weekend--Blehhhhh

Lost in time

Somewhere along the way I absolutely forgot I was tracking this journey.  I'm not even sure what made me think about it today but 9 days later I am back.  I am on week 6 and today was day 5.  Abdominal strength and core conditioning was on the schedule.  I don't know how many days have passed since this one was done last but I think my muscles had forgotten about it!  It was ok until that notorious round 5---back bends,Navasana/Sit Thru/ Hindu Push-up/Sit Thru and mountain climbers.  I did manage to get into the back bend position on both sets but did not remain for the entire 30 seconds.  I have been doing some of the New rules of lifting for women stage 1 workout.  I have been extra sore with that added in.  I don't know if it is helping but I hope it isn't hindering.  Practice may make progress and change is slow.

RushFit week 5 day 2

So back to explosive training i.e.  plyometrics.  Whew round 1 starts with jacks and a low shuffle aka (in my book)  JUMP LUNGES!!!  Round 1 sucked.  My body didn't want to do any of those.  Even at 30 secs I felt myself quitting.  I don't know if it was because of the workout I did last night or I didn't fuel with anything before starting this.  I am out of Amino.energy.  I didn't even do the amazing grass so I was running on empty.  I ate some grapes midway the workout.  I am about to do another order.  I think even a cup of coffee would have been better than nothing.  I went to bed early though I don't know if I was asleep.  Was awake for a bit and then finally went to sleep.  Woke up around 4 something and then went back to sleep.  Didn't wake until 6:21.  I got dressed laid around trying to get going.  I should have eaten and made coffee during that time but I didn't.  Started the workout and fizzled.  I finally finished but I am sure it wasn't with as much intensity as last time.  Tomorrow I have the 5 a.m. gym call.  Trying to get my mind right for that.  I haven't been up and out at 5 in FOREVER!!  A promise is a promise.

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.
