The pain is subsiding....

This week for training it is different again! The workouts are more of a battle against yourself. You take your scores from week one, add it to your week two scores and then multiply the sum by 3 to get the number of reps that you're doing for the week. The point is to do it as quickly as possible.  I have to say that when I calculated my numbers, it seemed very intimidating and almost impossible. But I surprised myself by not only finishing, but finishing in a good time. (The goal is to finish the workouts as close to 16 minutes as possible.)

Here are the scores everyone is waiting for!

Me: Day 1
Squats- 111
Push-ups- 54 (Yes, I did them all! And not on my knees either! I'm so proud!)
Lunges- 78
Plank Bridge- 186 sec.

Total Time- 16:45

Day 2
Elevated Push-ups- 36
Bird Dog- 114
Squat Pulses- 150 sec.
Superman- 165 sec.

Total Time- 14:10 (Woot woot!)

Day 3
Squat Touch Reach- 132
Reverse Lunges- 66
Drop Squats- 51
Straight Plank- 210 sec.

Total Time- 13:14 :-)


Jason: Day 1
Squats- 150
Push-ups- 96
Lunges- 108
Plank Bridge- 210 sec.

Total Time- 19:00

Day 2
Elevated Push-ups- 114
Bird Dog- 150
Squat Pulses- 168 sec.
Superman- 210 sec.

Total Time- 16:26

Day 3
Squat Touch Reach- 138
Reverse Lunges- 105
Drop Squats- 72
Straight Plank- 210 sec.

Total Time-16:29

As you can see, Jason's more of a rock star than I am. But he was able to do pushups 2 months ago and I couldn't even do 1!

We also did a fitness test at the end of the week to see how much we improved. We did on set of the workouts from Day 1 and compared the numbers. Here's  how we improved:

Me-  Day 1- Fitness Test-  % improved

Squats- 26- 50- 92%
Pushups- 15- 22- 47%
Lunges- 20- 26- 30%
Plank Bridge- 50- 50- There was no room for improvement because I did the max on Day 1.

Jason-  Day 1- Fitness Test-  % improved


Squats-  37- 52- 41%
Pushups- 37- 50- 35%
Lunges- 28- 38- 35%
Plank Bridge- 50- 50- Jason did the max on both days. 

Whew! I'm tired just typing it all out!
