Alternate Workouts

When you can't do your workout of choice, what is your alternate workout?  Today, I missed my 5am bootcamp crew but still got a workout in.  I completed the CrossFit workout workout below.  My second workout of the day is just below that.

EMOTM (every min on the min) for 10 mins
1 Clean
1 OTB (over the bar) Burpee
2 KB Swings
3 Ball Slams
Rest for 3 mins and then run a mile.

20 JJ / 20 Burpees / 20 Squats / 20 Push ups / 20 Sits Up
30 min run intervals

Completing two workouts with this type of intensity, I need to make sure that I fuel my body properly.  Otherwise, I will be tired and I won't see the changes that I need.  Eating properly is just as important as anything else when it comes to weight loss!

Updates......

This morning I had a great strength training workout.  Deadlifts are one of my favorite exercises. I'm probably going to be sore in my lower back though tomorrow from the DL's.  My lower back is one of my weakest areas that I need to continue to work on.  In due time, with continued workouts I will be a nice stronger, lean back.  :)  My C25K challenge is also going great.  I'm on week 3, day 2.  I'll get outside today after work to go for a run.  It's so beautiful and sunny here in NC.  How are you doing with your workout program(s)?

C25K program - Week 1, Day 1

I am a member of Black Girls Run in Charlotte.  Probably for about the last 6-7 months, I have not been active at all.  My running has pretty much become non-existent.  So, since spring is around the corner and there will be plenty of road races, I decided to start the C25K (couch to 5K) program. I downloaded the app "c25k free" to my phone so that I wouldn't have to worry about which day I was one, what the workout is, etc.  Yesterday was Week 1, Day 1.  I felt really good after my run and look forward to the next one.  Have you completed a C25K program?  Have you ever run a 5K? If so, what are your next goals?

Mid Week Check In - Happy Wednesday!

Hey everyone!  Happy Hump Day to you!  I just wanted to share my week with you all so far. The first thing that I wanted to share was, I know the scale doesn't always matter but I want to point something out.  When you put in the work AND eat clean, the results will follow.  On Monday, I weighed in at 159 something and this morning I weighed in at 154 something.  How have I been doing it??  I'll share.  I've put in at least 30 mins of cardio, whether running, jumping rope or doing cardio intervals.  As far as my meals, they've been clean, no joke!  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you do what you are supposed to.  I'll continue out this great and continue my journey on Sunday when we start the P90X/Insanity Hybrid challenge.  With that journey, I'll share measurements, pictures, posts and videos.  :)

Have a blessed day!
