80 Day DO - Day 17 Cardio Core

Was slow getting started as my internet was messing about grrrr and I have a very mild hamstring strain which I think mentally held me back a little but I pushed as hard as could. Knees higher, squat lower etc. but I did feel tired in the booty and side of the legs during the kamakazes from yesterday.

Was pleased with some of the core moves feeling stronger especially the pike up which felt the best ever, I went up higher and managed to keep my legs straight so major improvement there.

Isn't it awesome when we see our own strength improving week to week in different areas and ways? I had my doubts about this program but I am loving it. Push through to the end of next week and I can't wait to see what new things Phase 2 brings ;)

80 DO - Day 16 Booty

Lacking sleep today due to our two pups that we had castrated yesterday were up early. Both creating havoc with the lampshade buster collers on to stop them licking where they shouldn't.

Needless to say I'm at home today and pleased it was Booty day as my energy levels are not high. But I pushed through and even had double bands on for 3/4 of it = it was burny burny ;)

I'll try and get some sleep this afternoon after they have been fed and look forward to Cardio Core tomorrow.

80 DO - Day 15 Total Body Core

Slight change of pace with this one today as you do each series (3 moves) x all 3 sets before you move on to the next series. Boy does it work you that bit harder and allows you to really burn out the muscles which was suprising great ;)

I prepped my worksheets over the weekend without knowing the change of pace was coming and over all I managed it anyway = yay! A few (most of the last 2 series) I didn't go as high as I had planned on 3rd set as I was shaking already lol

Double Blue bands felt good and much better on Side V loop Kicks, Chest Fly w/leg Lift and the Staggerd Bicep Curl.

Super pleased with all 30 push ups on feet (on Power stands) without resting to knees = Wahoo! Also more tricep push ups on feet this time too and my shoulder is still doing well with it.

Loving it!!!!!

80 DO - Day 13 Cardio Flow & 14 Stretch & Release

Later than normal and at home so room was a little less but got it done and no pinapples for me tonight lol

Enjoyed it much better than last week and thanks to John's suggestion - I threw in some Warrior 3 Squats and some Groucho Walks just a little variety.

Chased it with Stretch and Release which moves quite fast but gives a nice stretch out to pretty much all of your body :)

Rest day tomorrow and then bring on Week 3!

80 DO - Day 12 - Legs

Had to rush through this a little as I was short on time but increased my weights every round and had shaky legs by the end phew!!

Went with 2 x 10kg / 22lbs for lunges, squats and Sumo's and 2 x 12kg / 26lbs for hip hinge in last round but will increase next time for sure. I even added weights to my Good mornings too ;)
I need to make up single heavies for Sumo next time and I think I might have to break out my barbell!

Love leg day!

80 Day DO - Day 11 AAA

Enjoyed this again today and increased my weights well too :)

Had fun with the bands using X Heavy and XXX heavy ones and then had to try the triple (Blue, Green and Yellow) and the double Blue like the cast!!! More doubling and tripling coming for me for sure!

I managed all 10 push ups on my feet in the second round (up from only 5 last week) = wahoo! But form was going on the 8th reps in the final round so that's my target for next week :).

Bring on leg day!!!!

80 Day DO - Day 10 Cardio Core

Loved this today - knowing what was coming it was easier to push myself harder :) I had a stressy morning so I needed the destress of the cardio high!

I really noticed a big differnce in my shoulders already, not only did I feel generally stronger in the plank moves, they didn't really start complaining until the slightly longer plank one near the end (something teaser?).  I strugggled slightly in the longer core section again towards the end but compared to last week I'm thrilled at my shoulder strength - yay!!
