Today’s 43 is one that I have put off for almost a week!! Hunter helped me make the demo last Wednesday before we all went back to school. Last night I decided that today would be the day!!! (I know that intro makes all y’all want to read more so that you can hurry up and do the exercise!!!)
The move:
- burpee with push-up
- jump up to squat
- in squat jump and turn 180 degrees
- burpee with push-up
- jump up to squat
- in squat jump and turn 180 degrees (to start)
The above is 1 rep!!! To complete my 43, I actually had to do 86 burpees, 86 push-ups, and 86 squat-jump-turns!!! Painful!!!

I actually broke this 43 into groups of 5 – after each set I took about a 30 second break – cheating? Maybe – but necessary to complete all of these with good form! (all push-ups on toes!)
For the rest of my work-out I decided to go with another day of Les Mills Combat. I like to follow the guide the first time through a program so the next work-out was Power HIIT 1. (a disclaimer – I’m not a lawyer – obviously!!!) 
That saying was running through my head as I did this new (to me) work-out. The first part was strength – not too bad. The second half – at least 30 more burpees with push-ups and squat jumps – REALLY???? Then….the Les Mills crew challenged us to add a tuck jump after each burpee!!! (I stuck to the squat jumps today!)
BRUTAL in every way – but I did it!!!!!
I might have looked a little like this dude when I finished – a wet, limp noodle!!! However, I showered and got ready for another day at the library – rockin’ another pair of boots today so it’s all good!!
Today is my niece, Bailey’s, birthday!! A huge birthday shout-out!!!
Bailey, I hope today is awesome!!! Maybe Tim (her dad – my twin brother) will get you a car!!! Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Tuesday (or Happy Birthday if today happens to be your birthday!)!!
