Day 10 - Holy hell I sweat a lot

Today was such an amazing day.

I "slept in" until 8:00 AM. I say slept in because I didn't set an alarm but that's what time I awoke. That's a perfect time for a Saturday morning in my opinion - you don't sleep so late that you feel you've wasted too much of the day yet you still feel like you got to "sleep in".

We sat around and enjoyed our morning coffee than Michael & I headed to the office together for a few hours.

Then we went to lunch and sat outside on the patio at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Then we went to the dog park. It was absolutely gorgeous outside today- a perfect day to spend outside.

We came home and got ready to head to the gym. It was a doozy but I'm so proud of myself and I'm feeling phenomenal. I kicked my own butt big time!!

I started with a HIIT. It took me just under 35 minutes to get through this entire thing 3 times and by the end, I was a sweaty, sweaty mess. The last few exercises took me forever- I kept having to stop b/c I had pushed myself so hard I thought I was going to barf. But I finished.

BLOCK 1: 3 times through
KB Swings (10kg) 15 reps
Plank (jack + knee) 10 total (5 each leg)
Tricep dip with kick 10 reps (way too easy, need to do these differently next time)
Lunge + Bicep curl (12# dumbbells) 20 total (10 each leg)

BLOCK 2: 3 times through
Side plank left 10 reps
Burpees 10 reps
Superman w/ Pull 10 reps
Side plank right 10 reps

BLOCK 3: 3 times through

Push-ups (modified) 10 reps
Donkey kicks (knee bent) 10 reps each leg
Mountain climbers 20 reps

BLOCK 4: 3 times through

Ski squat + Row + Tricep (8# dumbbells) 10 reps
Thrusters (8# dumbbells) 10 reps
Knee plank w/ Arm Pull (8# dumbbells) 10 reps (5 each arm)

Then I did bis & tris workout with some heavy weights but I gave myself a full recovery before starting. Trust me, it was needed.
