Strength

Strength is my word of the day for Day 2 of BodyRock's 30 Day Fitness Challenge.

Lisa-Marie encouraged everyone to choose a word to help them through the day. Her's was Inspire, mine was Strength. Strength is such a multifaceted word. Not only am I wanting to become physically strong, but mentally strong and persevering in all I do. Today, "Strength" will get me through.

Today's work out was overwhelming when first looking at it. I had no idea what some of the exercises were, nor do I want to buy that sand bag thing. I watched the video and about 6 minutes in she gives a break down of all the moves. Having a good memory really helps for this.

Today's Scores:
10 high knees/10 mountain climbers:      4.5
2 squat jump/2 push up/1 tuck:              4
Center to elbow/leg jump:                     4
clean & press & squat & press x2:        5
5 tuck jump/ 5 half burpee squat hold:   3 (KILLER!)
Spider knee push up & straight leg:       9
Switch lunge & press:                           30
2 side lunge/ 2 side punch/ 2 tuck:        11
10 squat/ 10 squat jump:                      1
elbow to knee jump:                            46
wide leg jump & push up:                    8
Speed Run:                                         full 50 seconds

So these numbers look low,  but remember they are how many times I went through the whole rep in 50 seconds. It was definitely challenging but I have to admit I feel like this isn't going to transform me in 30 days. 12 minutes? My body should feel like jello and it doesn't. I'm skeptical. I may start a new workout soon and do them at the same time. But I chose this one for my lack of time.... oh well. I'll figure it out.
