Last week we started a new program. It's the same idea: Monday is chest, shoulders, and triceps (aka LOTS of push-ups). Tuesday is running/plyo, Wednesday is arms, Thursday is boxing, and Friday is swimming or legs and back. The workouts have stepped it up a couple of notches and are crazy hard. The first week (week 5, last week) I couldn't even do 1 one-handed push up with my legs fully extended; this week I did 6. I can definitely see the progress. I feel much, much stronger than when I started. Last week we did not get to do our swimming workout so we will see if we do it this week. Today I wasn't quite sure what we were going to do because we had horrible weather and it was pouring down rain, thundering, etc. So I figured we wouldn't be running (since we do this outside). I thought we must be doing plyo, but when I showed up for my workout, my trainer had a surprise for me: His Navy Seal buddy had come over and agreed to train me for the day! I was nervously excited about this when I heard the news. I felt like it would be an amazing challenge and opportunity but there was no doubt in my mind I was in for some pain!
We did a workout that consisted of 6 moves done 3 times each in 30 second intervals. You do the move for 30 seconds, rest for 45 seconds and repeat 2 more times. Then you move on to the next move. Do this for all 6 moves and then you're done. It sounds pretty easy until you do it. The jump squats were definitely my least favorite part of the workout. I impressed myself, though, because I was not only able to complete the entire workout without stopping, but I also went and did a little bit more than they told me to do. It felt amazing to be able to do this workout knowing there was no way I could have done it 6 weeks ago. I hope we incorporate more of this workout style in the future, maybe on Tuesdays instead of running (which I am not a fan of!). Since I never shared them, here are my end of week 4 pictures. I will be taking more updated pictures at the end of this week for my 6 week progress pictures. This is the first week where I have really felt like I look different so I am excited to share in just 3 more days!
