Wow, that workout kicked my a$$! It’s amazing in just a few days (okay, maybe 7!) how quickly out of shape I can get. I did Jillian’s routine today and it was tough. It took me about 40 minutes to complete the circuit, with a 5 minute warm up and 5 minutes of S T R E T C H I N G – which felt so good!
- 45 push-ups (against the wall)
- sumo squats 3 x 15 reps
- dumbbell chest press 6 pounds 3 x 15 reps
- dumblell chest flys 5 pounds 3 x 15 reps
- bench dips (I cheated and used the tri machine!) 3 x 15 reps 20 pounds
- Leg extensions 40 pounds 3 x 15 reps
- Lateral shoulder raise 6 pounds 3 x 15 reps
- Tricep extension 6 pounds 3 x 15 reps
- Jumping jacks 3 x 1 minute
- I chickened out on the jump rope!
Lunch:
- 1 cup homemade split pea soup with ham
- 2 cups salad mix
- 1 tablespoon granola
- 1 tablespoon light balsamic dressing
- orange
Lunch break is almost over – see you at dinner!
Holly – I borrowed the book from my library and just copied the work out pages, that way I can just bring it with me without carrying the whole book!
Is this the workout from Jillian Michael’s book? It looks very familiar! I was doing her workouts this spring and kind of got out of the routine due to an injury. She really knows how to kick butt! 🙂
wow what a workout! you’re too funny. I love your commentary on the side. haha. I hate jumping rope. It feels weird to me to jump in place or run in place. It’s like I’m stuck in limbo.
What are sumo squats? Are they oh…nevermind I’m picturing a sumo wrestler and I think I know what you mean.
Your lunch looks awesome! So fresh with the salad and fruit. Homemade split pea soup. wow!
Wow, you go girl!!!
