    Did this last minute last night. Glad I did though with all the rain today!
    Run/jog (on grass) - 30 minutes
    Definitely found it a little bit easier this time around. Nothing like fresh air to the lungs! Did most of it with shoes and the last little bits on bare feet.Couldn't do it for very long as my feet were getting really cold. Had to stand on my shoes in between!:o

    Burpees! \o/ <3 :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭Precious flower


    Burpees! \o/ <3 :pac:
    Glorious burpees! I think I can only do about ten in one go.:o So much jumping and push-ups. Dive bombers destroy me! God, I actually hadn't realised how I hadn't been burpees at all until today until I looked through my posts. Have to get doing 'em!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭Precious flower


    Since I've been neglecting my burpees I just looked up an exercise routine that has you do 100 burpees!:eek: I'll be well impressed if I do it! Might give it a go tomorrow. Always one to go to extremes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭eclectichoney


    I'm doing a 40 days of 40 burpees challenge at the moment - just did day 29 today! Am gonna miss them when it's over (possibly :D)

    As in 40 burpees every day for 40 days!? Oh my God you're brave!! Good on you! They are torturous when you are doing them but then when you've completed them you feel so cool and accomplished!:cool::pac:

    Even though I'm not obsessed about how much I weight I'm happy to say I've come down from my heaviest 122lbs when I weighed myself on the 11/04/2015 to my normal weight again of roughly 116lbs :) Hoping to maybe lose a bit more but the most important thing for me now is sustaining this weight. :)

    3. Side crunch right side

    Overindulged a bit today so decided to push myself a little harder.

    Burpees - 20 Reps
    Dumbbell swing (8kgs) - 20 Reps

    HIIT - Rounds: 3 Time: Completed in: 12 minutes 17 seconds
    Weighted Squat Twist (8kgs) - 10 Reps
    Cross Legged Pushup - 10 Reps
    Cross Body Kick - 15 Reps (each leg)

    Didn't sweat much for this one. Probably could have upped the weight for the punches. Decided to have an easier day. :)
    I feel like the exercises I have been doing so far have been very focused on my lower half so I'm tried to do exercises that focus more so on the arms.

    2 hours of martial arts :)

    What kinda martial arts do you do?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭Precious flower


    What kinda martial arts do you do?

    Krav Maga. Since there's a bit of controversy over it as a self defense system/how effective it actually is with people saying it's a load of crap etc., I usually just say I do martial arts!:o I love it to bits anyway!:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,588 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane

    The last bit is what counts!

    There's a lot you can do in terms of self defence with Krav Maga. I don't agree with the criticisms anyway. And it's'having the presence of mind to do what you need to anyway.

    But loving doing it is what counts :)

    I really do, I barely notice the two hours go by too. :) I find it helps to keep me focused on exercise and healthy eating as well. Not only is it keeping me fit it's giving some skills to use in case I get into a dangerous situation and as a woman it gives me a bit of confidence that I can give myself a fighting chance anyway. :)

    First port of call is a swift bick in the kollocks. Win :)

    But confidence is king

    Not sure how well I'll be able to keep up the HIITS at the moment as I got a job and I'm on my feet all day. Might just have to do it in the morning before I go to work because after a few hours my feet are sore. Suppose I'll get used to that too though.:)

    I saw your thread/log-title and just wanted to wish you the very Best of Luck :)

    I've felt like 'everything hurts, and I'm dying' after some cycles recently; to the point where I've felt nauseated; I've pushed myself so much.

    Keep up your Hard Work,
    Great Thread/Log-title,
