Fridays are sandbag days! I work up late, then napped for longer than I was supposed to… but as soon as I woke, I grabbed some water and got to it. Again, I’m doing the same moves as last time. I’ll be changing them every three to four weeks.

Timer Set for 15 Rounds of 10/50

1. Romanian Deadlift    21, 19, 19
2. Forward Lunge with Rotation   12, 11, 11
3. Biceps Curl (2 Hands)   27, 24, 24
4. Squat   16, 14, 15
5. Clean and Press  12, 10, 13 

A little better than last time. I kept my core tight and form in check this time around. Anytime I wanted to catch an extra second of rest I imagined Jillian Michaels screaming in my face and quickly picked myself up. I can’t believe that technique actually works.

Early Morning Workout

Pound Melting Workout

Time set for 12 rounds of 10/50

1. Reptile Toe Touch Push Up    19, 18
2. Sandbag Side Lunge Knee Up (left)    21, 19
3. Sandbag Side Lunge Knee Up (right)    20,16
4. Crab Fighter (left)    5, 4
5. Crab Fighter (right)    5, 5
6. Sandbag Squat    21, 22

What I love most about bodyrocking is that there are NO excuses. There is always a modification for beginners and for those who don’t have the equipment needed. This workout, I modified the Reptile Toes and Crab Fighter.

For Reptile Toes, I got in plank position on my hands. Starting with right leg, I brought my knee in then stretched the leg up and out.

With Crab Fighter, I overestimated my upper body strength. So I got on my knees as I turned to do each side.

Keeping the Momentum

I need to buy some plain yoghurt. My pre-exercise meal was a really large orange. I tried for toast and jelly but we’re out of bread. On to today’s workout.

Sexy Supremacy

Time set for 24 rounds of 10/40

1. 10 Mountain Climbers & 1 push-up   5, 6, 5, 5
2. One Arm Row w/ Sandbag    18, 20, 20, 20
3. Forward & Backward Lunge - Left   11, 14, 9, 12
   
4. Forward & Backward Lunge - Right   10, 12, 9, 10
   
5. Reverse Push Up - Only Half Way Down   49, 43, 35, 40
   
6. Bicycle   32, 30, 22, 30
   

I attempted my mountain climbers on the floor, then the sandbag, but I was either too wobbly or couldn’t. So I chose a modest elevation and gave it my all. For the lunges, a sandbag is used, put atop the opposite shoulder of leg working out. I need to work on my form a bit more for that one. I don’t own a dip station, so modification for a reverse push-up are rows with the sandbag.

Along with proper warm up and cool down, I can happily say I kicked my own ass yet again.

First Sandbag Exercise

I seriously kicked my own ass today. And it felt great. My body feels like putty and I have to constantly stop myself from sliding to the floor :D

So I woke up and had a peaches and cream oatmeal (which is the last packet so now I can buy a jug of regular oatmeal.) An hour later I started my first sandbag workout. This was also the first time I got to use my spankin’ new hot pink interval timer. For this first month I’m using the exercises that are on the booklet my sandbag came with. Numbers in bold are my scores.

The workout was as follows:

Timer Set for 15 Rounds of 10/50

1. Romanian Deadlift    21, 19, 19
2. Forward Lunge with Rotation   11, 10, 10
3. Biceps Curl (2 Hands)   23, 20, 22
4. Squat   8, 14, 14
5. Clean and Press  12, 11, 11 

My first round of squats: I was doing it wrong at first and was interrupted for about 5 seconds while I ran to lock my room door (my family had just come home and they don’t believe in knocking.) My bag has about 15 lbs of rice, but for the second round of clean and press I was so tired I took out one bag.

I was really looking at focusing on my form. Other times I was a bit wobbly but I tried to quickly fix myself. Overall I felt great during and after. My goal for Friday is to pass and exceed these scores.

Post workout meal were 2 boiled eggs. I seriously have to go shopping this weekend so I can make all the meals I have listed.
