Burpies!

Ahhhh man, I was called to the floor by the gym gods and I answered back y'all! I started off on the eliptical and went up to resistance 7. I did that for 5 minutes, which got my heartrate over 170, and then hopped on the bike for 10 minutes because that's when the soreness of me bum starts to mess with my mind. I did resistance 13 for most of it, but dipped to 12 for a minute here and there to give myself a rest. I then went back to the eliptical and did level 7 for 10 minutes. I was kind of already pooped by the time I met Ashley.

Ok, so I told Ashley on Monday that in kickboxing class, we do burpies and mountain climbers and I really wanted to get better at them 'cause I struggle with those type of exercises. Well, she delivered as usual. The ciruit today started off with 15 push-ups, then went to one minute of burpies, then to 15 minutes of chest pushes on level 55!, then to one minute of mountain climbers and then 15 tricep lifts with a medicine ball. Yeah, I did that circuit 3 times! Whew! It was so hard. And Ashley said to me that I shouldn't have pushed myself before a session with her, but I thought that was kind of wonky. Anyway, I got through it and I'm glad she incorporated those killer exercises because I would really like to improve in that area. She is such a positive spirit in my life. She wrote me an email today saying how well I did today and that I inspire her. I wish I could express to her how much she has helped me get through all of the tough times I've overcome after my last relationship. I can't thank her enough. I feel so lucky and blessed to have her in my life.

And I got great news that my gym is starting a summer fat burning contest that runs from the end of June to the end of August! I am super excited. I am shooting for 3%. Maybe I can even get to 4%! Yayyy!
