Jillian Michael's BFBM dvd. Woohoo, can successfully do the whole planking plank without dropping to my knees. :)

Aha! Persuaded Lucas to do the core and glute section of core fusion body sculpt with me. :)

Triangle. Just wanted something slower to move my legs.

Jackie Warner DVD with Zoe.

Core Fusion Body Sculpt with Carmen. Nice to have someone to commiserate with while your abs are on fire. :)

Triangle. Finally some sun! And almost no snow on the ground. :)

C • Keep training! Looks good! 2

Started the Jackie Warner core dvd, but decided I needed to rest my core today. It's so tried from all the Core Fusion dvds.

Found a free 50 minute spin class on Itunes podcasts (Motion Traxx - Get Cyc'd!). Unfourtunately there are only 2 of them, but it's nice to have some guidance. :)

Core Fusion Pilates Plus.

My core fusion dvds came today! Did Core Fusion body sculpt. Lots of burning but more lower intensity than my other ones. Who knew that such little movements could hurt so much...?

C • Sandra and Sam ended up buy... 2

Jackie Warner floor routine. Still hurts. Did it with Olenka this time :)

Incline 1.0

1 - 5 minutes: 6.5 mph
5 - 10 minutes: 7.0 mph
10 - 15 minutes: 7.5 mph
15 - 20 minutes: 8.0 mph

2 x 1 minute wall sits
3 x 15 jumping lunges
3 x 15 jumping squats
2 x 30 one leg calf raise (each side)

Jillian 30 Day Shred DVD level 2. Compared to last year at this time it's definitely not as bad. I didn't want to do too much today because I'm still recovering from whatever my body was fighting off. Felt okay though, yay!

Still in bed all day. Think I'm getting better though.

So tired, dizzy, and weak. Almost fainted in the shower this morning and have slept for 6 hours today. Not a good day for training...

Triangle run. It was super wet and there was still some slushy snow on the ground (which made going up hills difficult) but it was so nice to be out on paths instead of a treadmill! I think I'm starting to get sick though and I had a lot of difficulty breathing towards the end.

My legs were sore from yesterday so I wanted to stretch them out.

2.0 incline.
6.5 mph.

And I'm converting all my distances back into km even though the treadmill gives miles because I can't wrap my head around miles...

Still hard! At least I can do more of the exercises without modifications now...

Jillian NMTZ DVD. It's still very snowy outside and the roads and sidewalks aren't very clear. It seemed more doable than the last time I did it. :)

1.0 incline.
1 - 19 min.: 7mph
19:00 - 19:30 min.: 7.5mph
19:30 - 20:00 min.: 8.0mph

Attempted to play with Jerrell but we were both really rusty and ended up talking more than playing...

Standing workout from the Jackie Warner DVD. Not nearly as hard as the floor routine.

Spent way too many hours in the library already, so I needed to stretch my legs. Sadly on a treadmill because it was dark and snowing.

1 - 5 min.: 6.5 mph
5 - 10 min.: 7.0 mph
10 - 15 min.: 7.5 mph
15 - 16 min.: 8 mph

Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zone's DVD. I have no shoulder muscles.

Back at Quest :) Just did the triangle loop in the woods. I felt so clumsy running on single-track trails again. The ground felt really frozen too. Gorgeous crisp day out!

Too busy packing to return to the west!

Out for a quick ski in Centennial with Dad. The majority of the trails weren't groomed.

Group Power Class at the Y. I kind of feel like jelly now.

Spin class at the Y. Wish we had these at Quest because I feel like I'd lack the motivation to do it on my own on the bikes at school.

I know you probably shouldn't do two core work outs in a row, but there was a class right after the spin class and they aren't very frequent.

Resolution Run. Absolutely gorgeous day outside! Sunny and 5C :) Ran the 1st 3/4s by myself then my dad caught me for the last loop.

New core workout DVD! Personal Training with Jackie: Crunchless Xtreme Abs. Way to much laughing going on on Dad's part, but ouch!
