At Home Fitness! (30 day challenge) Last Fit Test

Woo-Hoo!!!  I have completed the 30 day challenge with a bang!  I took the last fit test and I feel great about where I have ended up.  I will say this, I know you can only accomplish so many reps in 50 seconds so I am not sure how much my numbers could have changed, but I pushed as hard as I could for the entire 30 days.  I felt the best adding in an extra 10 min or so with the workout trainer app.  You can make those workouts very customized.  Therefore, I am using it as a supplement. Still keeping the entire thing under 30 min to suit my purpose right now which is to prove I can get results and feel great without 1. going to a gym and 2. working out for an hour.  I definitely see success after 30 days in these 2 things.
              Week 4 Final Fit Test:                                       Week 2:                                              Week 1:

burpees:              21                                                            20                                                          20

 sit-ups:                  35                                                        33                                                             33


All 3 fit tests compared.  I will take it!!  Moving on now to whatever comes after this in Body rock and continuing to add from the app!!  Working out by the pool about 5 sometimes 6 days a week at home in 30 minutes!  IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!

At Home Fitness! (30 day challenge)

I have hit week 4 of my 30 day challenge and it is going so great.  My body feels better than it has in a long time.  I am following the Body Rock  program and I have added in this app that my amazing friend Maia introduced me to called Workout Trainer.  It adds however many minute you choose and at whatever level of intensity.  I add about 6 or 7 minutes and it still keeping my workout under 30 minutes!!  The best part is I have done it ALL from my home.  I have even moved outside to the pool deck and enjoyed the fresh air while working out and even creating a little more sweat!

I will say this for Body Rock, they have done an amazing job challenging my mind and entertaining my body.  I feel sore in different places and at different times.  I still haven'the figured out how to post video, but I have done some cool alternatives to some of their exercises because I don'the have all the right equipment, but my alternatives have always been harder.

Anyone else working on a challenge??

At Home Fitness! (30 day challenge) Better than ever!

You might be wondering how it went after "the bug"!!  I went back at it full force and yesterday felt kinda cruddy, not gonna lie!  But today I did both Lisa's and Sean's workouts as planned and then added something.  My best friend Maia gave me a heads up on a app called Workout Trainer.  It added a nice touch today.  I used my Total Gym as part of my Body Rock workout to substitute  for some of the equipment they use that I do not have.  I worked out until I was a limp noodle and still all in about 30 min.

I have been working out by the pool blaring some music and I feel great!  New baby chickens "peep, peepin'" away and a borrowed goat "baaaaaaaaa-ing" to the sound of her own bell!  Great day!
