Monday's workout

As I was reading the workout regimen that Fitmamas_wvc posted, I didn't think it was going to be that hard.
As I was typing it up, I looked up a few of the exercises on Google just to make sure we'd be doing them correctly.
Crunches and cardio. No big deal, right?
WRONG!!
I think the thing that killed me the most were the bear crawls especially at the end and the planks.
Like I've mentioned before, I have no upper arm strength so the walk up push up planks were hard but I can't wait to see in a couple weeks time how much strength and progress we've had.

Saturday workout

The last two Saturdays I have invited any and all to meet me at Mile Square Park near my house for a fun, FREE workout out. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty strapped for time. 
I have A LOT on my plate so having to put in tons of hours into working out is just not going to happen.
Thank goodness for HIIT workouts. (high intensity interval training) 
I did insanity and was pretty diligent for 4 weeks, then I found this thing called running and have been running since. It's so addicting to me.
But in order to work on my long distance training, I was told I needed to implement strength and conditioning.
The first Saturday, two ladies showed up. 
Mavis and her sister Paia. 
They have been my support group for the last two weeks and have been great in doing the workouts that have been posted.


To be honest, I don't care if it's just us three for the next three months because as long as I have a supportive and motivating group to workout with, I know we'll help each other out.
The fact that these girls are HILARIOUS is just a plus!!
Last Saturday my husband helped put together a few drills for us to do. 
We did football drills and they were tough especially since I was already sore from working out my legs a few days before that.
We found little hills at Mile Square so I'm thinking we'll find a way to implement them.
We probably won't be doing the tire flipping soon but many sand bags up our little hills will be a start.

My greatest take away in starting this group is that support is necessary.
Having a group and support system to talk to, motivate you, to push you and remind you of your goals is essential.
Having these ladies workout with me helps me want to keep going and keeps me accountable.
Thank you girls for being dedicated and for always showing up!!
You two are the BEST!
