100th Day!

Today is my 100th consecutive day of the daily 43!!! I wanted to do a 43 to reflect this milestone.  I think I accomplished my goal today!

I used my step and did a squat series.

14" double step (the Transfirmer)
14″ double step (the Transfirmer)
  • start on step – squat with feet wide
  • step left foot next to right foot – squat feet together
  • step right foot onto floor – squat
  • step right foot back on step – squat feet together
  • step left foot out – squat feet wide
  • step right foot to left – squat feet together
  • step left foot onto floor – squat
  • step left foot back on step – squat feet together

That series makes 1 rep.  I did 43 but then I kept going until I had done 100 reps!!!  (which, in case you are wondering, is a grand total of 800 squats!!)

Good times!

One of our Christmas Eve traditions is to open presents – so that will take place later today!!!  I hope the boys are happy! Christmas morning we do our stockings and then hang out and enjoy the day – usually we have friends over and play games.

Merry Christmas!!!

A 43 with a bit of everything…

Today I used my BOSU for the daily 43.  You know I love my BOSU!!!

I used it for some lower body work (totally not following DRs orders :Wink: ) but I also worked my core, my balance and got my heart rate up – total win on the 43!!!

One of my favorite 43s so far:

  • Start with both feet on the BOSU
  • Step forward with the right foot into a front lunge and hold
  • Step right foot back onto BOSU – squat and hold
  • Step right foot backwards into a reverse lunge and hold
  • Step right foot back onto BOSU – squat and hold

The above is 1 rep.  I did all 43 with my right leg moving and then switched and did 43 more with my left leg.  (Quick math – 86 lunges/leg + 174 total squats on the BOSU)

The following video is more for entertainment than to demonstrate the move!!! Hunter struggled with this move but I didn’t have the heart to ask him just to record me.

(Jordan clearly enjoyed this enough to stop playing on the computer  long enough to watch and laugh!)

I know the date is old but this is sort-of how I feel when some of the kids ask me about finding a  certain book – duh, uh, um…? (clearly I’m not familiar with the library yet!)

I have sanitized my hands till they are about raw this week.  Working at a primary (preschool – 3rd grade) school is a total germ-fest for sure!!! Screen shot 2012-12-18 at 6.59.40 PM

 

I’m excited about another day of fun!  Hope y’all all have fun on the agenda today!

Happy Wednesday!
