Week 6 Done :D

Whew, and what a week it was!!!! My kicks have improved by so much. My upper legs and abs are getting tight, not so flabby ya know, and that is awesome. The motivation from Chalene is just INSANE!!! I like this month because of all the long cardio days but I am starting to miss the HIIT's. Luckily they will be back before I know it. I really like how next month is looking. 3 HIIT days with 30 minutes of sculpting on those days, :D :D!!!

I have started using myfitnesspal, and I definitely notice a difference counting calories that way compared to just a notepad. It has more of an actual accountability feeling to me.

Tomorrow is the last technical day of week six with a 20 minute core class and a 40 minute stretch class. One of the first stretch/yoga classes I have actually liked. Ahhh... blissfully relaxing Sunday here I come :)

Random thoughts on my past 7 months of fitness....

   What is it that gets me up and moving? Whether it's bright and early or after a long, tiring, been out in the cold day. Most of the time I would have to say I enjoy working out. Who wouldn't after you see the kind of changes you can make. It was exciting waiting for the 30 day marks, knowing I was changing by the mirror and then being blown away by how much I actually lost.
     Do you want to put your jeans on and see a roll?, whether it's under or falling over the top of your jeans. Because I sure as hell don't . And thanks to these past 7 months mine has gone down dramatically.
   ChaLEAN Extreme was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!! I couldn't believe strength training would have ever had such an effect on my body. I can't wait for TurboFire to finish so I can start the Hybrid of the two :) :)
  

  
 

Week 5 Day 2 Fire 30 and Sculpt 30

Fire 30 class goes like this:
4 minute warm up
2 combos, one is 2 minutes the other is 1 minute done on right and left leads. 6 minutes total.
First Fire Drill, the ones included in this happen to be 1:15
Next set of combos again 2 minutes and 1 minute on right and left leads. 6 minutes total.
Second Fire Drill
5 minute finale
4 minute cool down

Sounds easy? HAH! Only if you make it easy ;)

What kind of combos are we talking about?
A lot of jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, some speedbags, 7 steps, fire throws, roundhouses and "push it's".

That in combination with a sculpt class, feel the burn my arms, feel the BURN!!!! :D
