Did it!

My first "three day in a row" workout! Woo hoo!

We started with "press jerks" which is a funny name now that I type it :) Basically it is a push press, kinda...you take a barbell and hold it in the rack position (so basically at your shoulders) and then jump the bar up while quickly getting "under" the bar and getting into a small squat or split stance, locking out the arms overhead (Ok, I got that from a definition thing...not entirely my description, haha!) We used 55lbs and did 5 rounds of 5 reps. It was a bit difficult for me, but I finished it.

The other girl I was working out with hadn't done the SUPER FUN workout I did yesterday (check that one out!) so she got to do that (lucky her...har har) while I tried to beat one of my old records. I re-did the Annie (rounds of 50,30,20,20,10 repetitions of double unders and sit ups...multiply those by 4 on the jump roping since I did singles). Last time I did it was April 15th with a time of 15 minutes, 5 seconds. Today I did it in 14 minutes and 14 seconds! Go me!! :)

I really didn't think I was going to beat it...I was dying! Sometimes I think my trainer only tells me I have so many minutes left, thinking I'll go faster, when in fact I have way more time...but that is just my opinion ;) That, or when I'm working hard and sweating and hyperventilating, time moves way slower than it should...
