HI! I posted this picture, just because I like it, and I LOVE the ocean to btw. I miss my ocean, and I miss my KEENA!
Trainer extraordinaire, KEENA, helps me a lot with strength training. I can run, swim, and bike on my own until the cows come home, but when it comes to circuit and lunges and weights, I do work better with a trainer. Keena is off for a while, and in the meantime, she did give me a program to do, which I am following pretty well. This morning I competed the circuit session with no assistance, just me, myself and I leading the squats, lunges and pike-ups. I began with 15 minute jog on the treadmill at 3.9 level, and pumped up to 4.5 last 2 minutes. The next 25 minutes I did push-ups, squats with weights, lunges, jumps on and off bosu, reverse lunge, and 3 series of crunch exercises with bosu. YES- I did it! Heart rate was jumping between 150-160- the entire time, and Keena tells me that in order to seee progress and weight dropping you have to stay in your heart rate zone. DONE!
Yesterday, I had a super run on the treadmill for half an hour. I am feeling really strong and beginning to notice the progress in my conditioning, and I simply cannot believe that I am down to 138 days until TRI! How fast the days and weeks fly. Don’t wait to get your plan going, whatever it is….start something TODAY!
This week, 3 down one to go. I do not prefer working out 4 straight days in a row, but due to travel circumstances and illness in the family….I had to do back to back this week.
LESSON: Push yourself in all circumstances, but do have a plan and guide to follow, working out with purpose will get you the results. Do not waste the chance to move your body and get that blood flowing! Remember, your health is an investment in you and your mental/physical welfare, do not scrimp!
Off to my weekend now, have a great and wonderful day!
