Breast Stroke

Shirley! You are so sweet. Burpies are when you lean on your hands and jump out and then back in, stand and then do it all over again. And mountain climbers are when you are leaning on your hands and moving your feet back and forth on the ground. Those are hard to explain. :)

I went swimming today for the first time in months. I was going once every two weeks for awhile, but now that my pool is open I've decided to get back into it. I really just don't like driving to Bellevue to use a pool. It was kind of hard today since I haven't done it in so long. My goal was an hour and I did just under that. My routine was a lap of freestyle, lap of breast stroke (my favorite) and a lap of back stroke. With some kick practices in between 'cause you have to kick from your hips and not with your knees and it's hard to get down when you've been kicking with your knees all your life. Anyway, I'm glad I did it. The weird thing about swimming is that you have to change your breathing routine. You're suppose to breathe in through you nose and out your mouth in all other exercises, but with swimming you have to breathe in with your mouth and out with your mouth. That, and you smell like chlorine the rest of the day. :)

I hate it when I take my multi-vitamin and it makes me kind of nauseus (I never know how to spell that) for a bit. Bleh. Go away!!

Ashley wants to shoot for 5% in this next upcoming contest. I can do it!!

So, I didn't go to cycling class OR kickboxing class on Thur or Fri. I ended up taking Thur off from working out completely. It actually felt really good to take a day off. And I was just too tired to wake up at 4:30 am to get to cycling class by 6 on Friday. What are they thinking? But I did do my own kickboxing routine on Friday. I love having the kickboxing room all to myself. I bring in some cds and put the fan on and just do what I love. I listened to Garbage this time, it was awesome! And I did jump roping and mountain climbers and push-ups and of course a lot of punches and kicks. Loved it!!

I hope I have time to run before meeting my family tomorrow morning. That would give me 4 just cardio days this week. I might be too pooped after the Gwen Stefani concert tonight though. I'm excited! I hope it's a good show.
