Since I took a rest day on Day 2, I knew I couldn’t have a repeat on Day 3. This is what yesterday (Day 3) and today (Day 4) looked like for the challenge:
Day 3 (Tues):
- 30 minute walk with Hilary in her stroller and Maclean
- Day 5 Thigh Challenge: 15 lateral lunges (both legs), 30 scissors, 12 fire hydrants (both legs), 12 pile squat pluses.
- Tony Horton’s Yoga Flex – 10 minutes (felt SO good)
Day 4 (Wed):
- Walk Maclean – 10 minute walk with H in stroller and then,
- Running – 3k (21 minutes) with H in stroller and…..then,
- Day 6 Thigh Challenge: 20 lateral lunges (both legs), 40 scissors, 15 fire hydrants (both legs), 15 pile squat pluses.
I’m POOPED now!
Day 5 (Thurs): Proposed workout for tomorrow…we’ll see if it happens!
- Day 7 Thigh Challenge: 25 lateral lunges (both legs), 50 scissors, 18 fire hydrants (both legs), 20 pile squat pluses.
- Zumba 1 hour *pending approval after my Osteopath appointment*
- Walk Maclean – 15 Minutes
I’ve managed to stick to my Meal Planning so far this week. It sure takes the stress of what to have for dinner and I’m able to prep the food earlier in the day when Hilary naps. This is all going to change when I get back to work. I’m thinking I’ll have to meal plan the week before and prep as much as I can on Sunday nights.
That’s it…short and sweet post for today 🙂
Did you work out today?
Inside or Outdoor workout?
Happy Hump Day!
Piper's Run 
I’m already starting to doubt myself with the thigh challenge! AHHH!
Yeah, I’m getting a little scared! It’s starting to hurt and I think it’s only going to get worse!
BUT…….we CAN do it!!!
Nice! you’re on a pretty good roll there. I actually took today off since my legs were pretty sore this morning.
So far, so good. I’m sure your legs are happy for the rest day!
I will be working out this afternoon! 400m repeats on the treadmill + thigh challenge!
Sounds like an intense workout! Have fun.
Thanks 🙂
Until I read this post, I had never heard of a fire hydrant exercise, so I looked it up on youtube. The instruction the guy gave made me giggle (I’m pretty immature), but I also imagine the burn combined with lunges and squats is probably intense…. no wonder you are pooped! You’ve inspired me to work a bit harder! Good luck with getting clearance for zumba!
ha ha, yeah it goes sounds pretty funny when you think about it 🙂
Glad I could inspire you to work a bit harder…it wasn’t my intentions but happy this post motivated you.
Fire Hydrants kick my butt!! Looks like you are doing great with the Fall Into Fitness Challenge, and rest days are great too. Our bodies need some recovery time 🙂
The fire hydrants kicked my butt…literally! I think it’s the hardest one for me to do out of the four!
I went for a 5km run outside, which I hadn’t done for over a week so it was great. Today I want to run to the gym, do 20 minutes on the stairmaster, 15 minutes on the rowing machine and 10 minutes on the bike.
Sounds like a good workout ahead of you!
I didn’t end up running because they’re doing work on the pavement between my house and the gym and it was just too hazardous and then after the stairmaster and the rowing machine I wasn’t feeling very well. Been a bit nauseous all day so I didn’t push it. I did have an epic 20 minutes on the stairmaster though :).
Bummer on the run but sounds like you still got a decent workout in!
Hope you are feeling better 🙂
