Day 98: The would be Trial Day

Question: What are you thankful for?
Answer: A healthy family

- Warm up
- Shuffle the square

      - Fly out wides
      - Arm curls
      - Squatted rows
      - Chest presses
- Wheels on the bus
- Yoga stretches

Today would have been trial day but since there was only 3 of us, we decided to do just a normal workout. Coral wasn't feeling too good so I hope that she didn't become worse thanks to holding class.

Arm band work really got my arms going today, I felt the burn and normally that would have caused me to pause and stop but I kept going because I wanted to actually work on getting results. The burn means its working, lol!!!

We did a few balance yoga moves in class and as Coral was demonstrating one of them, I just stared and sighed, she caught that and laughed. She then explained and showed me how it was when she first started with that particular pose. I felt a little tiny bit better but I attempted the pose and while I couldn't hold it as long as the others, as least I tried and didn't just give up, like normal.

Today was freaking TONS of ab work! Good reason though, we are celebrating our 100 day of working out. My numbers may be a bit off thanks to a few cancelled or missed classed but it was close enough to 100 to make it work, lol

Coral had us do the same ab routine over the span of the entire class and we made sure to do 100 of everything. I have to admit I was really disappointed that I was not more sore after this class. I was covered in sweat and I pushed myself but the next day I wasn't really feeling it as much as I wanted.

The 100 seconds warm up at the start of class seemed to last FOREVER, lol, you never seem to realize how long certain things are until you want to stop but know that you need to keep going!

The stretching and toning is something I am getting better at. I am actually putting more effort into the yoga poses vs just chilling out for some water and it is helping me feel more limber.

Day 96

11/23/15

Day 96:

- Warm ups
- Run liners
- Barre stretches
- Wall sits with bands
- Read a book: Dinosaurs
- Partner up and do supported Jumping Jacks
- Telling time with feet
- Get on Yoga mats: Pilates Ab work cycle
- Stretch out with Yoga
- Pack up and roll out

I am all over the place with my blog lately. I have been skipping days, telling myself I will do it later and then while I do, I am forgetting things like question of the day or different activities that we had done,

Today is one of those days where remembering the question of the day was just not happening.

The liners were good, I tend to just speed walk vs run or jog. I had fun with the barre stretches, lots of pointed feet and knee bending with that one. I shared a video with Coral and she got a few tips from it. A big thank you from the class was shared with me, lol

The dinosaur book was a lot of jumping. Every time she said the word Dinosaur, we jumped, lol

The jumping jacks are always a challenge on the arms and the ab work went smoothly.

The telling time moves are pretty good on the legs, you want to make sure just to wear socks and no shoes while you are moving one leg and it is great for balance. I am happy to have a clock to reference when my brain pulls a dork and forgets what position I should be in, lol!!

Day 95

Day 95: The delayed blog

Question: What is the most sore you have been from a workout?

- Barre bar work

     - Inwards and outwards Circles
     - Donkey Kicks
     - Donkey Pulses

:Edit notes 11/30/15: So my brain wouldn't really let this one go. I tried to just move on but it wasn't happening, lol, I remembered the question of the day and a few of the workouts that we had done. I added them in.

Life has been so busy and a bit stressful lately so I decided to skip a day on my blog. We worked out of Friday but I never posted about it.

It was a small class, just three of us and Coral but it was still nice. Worked up a sweat working out and it helped me destress a little since I already had been on the go since I woke up. After class, I had a non stop rushing day and was so happy just relax at home for the night.

I am slowly making my way through my scattered and missed posts now. Life has been crazy but it finally calming down!

Things went good today, that new story was a killer with some of the moves. I kept slipping with my shoes on while doing the push ups but I got them done! For a moment, I thought that I was not going to feel the leg lifts and then we moved across the room to do lunges and there it was, lol, I am feeling okay now though.

I was feeling kinda bleh last night thanks to fighting off a small sore throat that my daughter shared with me thanks to her teething issues but I felt good during working out today. Lilly was a total cuddle bug so Coral helped me out and wore her in a pack so I could get a good workout in.

I went back to red band today and did good. I also took off my shoes to do the wall sits and it was SO much better! I didn't have slipping issues but my toes were not so attractive today, lol, I took care of that once I got home.

I don't really have much to talk about today other than I had a good workout and built up a good sweat. I am hoping tomorrow will be as good, if not better.

Day 92

Day 92

Question: Do you have an animal nickname that you call your child / children?

Today was a bit on the down side for me, I have some personal stuff that has got me really stressed and worried and it showed in my workout. I had to regress down to the green band and I haven't done that in a long while. My hip is also really sore from my shot and I am so over the hurts. I think that today helped with stretching out those muscles though.

Keeping it short and simple today, not really much to talk about but I did go to class and I did get some movement in. Tomorrow will be another day and I just will just breath through it all.
