Duck Dynasty Delight

I think I might have a new favorite show – Duck Dynasty!!!  Last night, Jordan and I watched some of the old episodes and laughed ourselves silly!  This morning I read a friend’s facebook status about the cast and learned how truly down-to-earth the family really is.  Plus they have a great message to share!

Si’s Tea Party (I loved this episode!!!)

I decided that my 43 today should have something to do with ducks – doesn’t everyone choose exercises based on TV shows?!  So…I duck-walked!!!! I did 10 duck-steps for each rep so a total of 430 duck-walk steps to achieve my 43!  I’m sure my quads will really thank me later – they were screaming by about #10!

I did sort-of feel like a duck with the little waddle going!!!  :Happy:

Other than the 43, today is my off day so now it’s just time to get caught up around the house (and maybe watch a couple more episodes of Duck Dynasty with the boys!!!!).

Have a super Saturday!!!

Butt Burner in the Basement

The early morning 43 + work-out really isn’t my favorite until it’s done!  I love the fact that it is 7:00 and I have already worked out hard and gotten ready for my day!!!

Today I did a complete butt burner for my 43.  Start in tabletop position (all 4s) and lift right knee to side.  Push right foot straight back then bring extended leg around to side.  Bend knee back to first position and lower.  Confused? Check out the cool video!!  😉

I did 43 on my right side and then switched and did 43 on the left side.  The 2nd side was much harder – I guess because that half of my butt had already supported all of my weight during the first set!!!

After I set my butt on fire, I did my work-out.  Today I started the Push Circuit part of Chalean Extreme (Beach Body).  I’m excited to see how much I can increase my strength this time through the program!!!

Another day that I get to spend in the gym with the kids!!!  This PE subbing is a pretty good gig – I get to wear work-out stuff and tennis shoes all day!

Happy Fun Friday!!!

Biceps, Fitness, Running

Physical Education

Another day, another 43!!!  Today was a short one.  :Happy:

I stood in a T position (arms extended out to sides)

Hunter – arms extended for bicep curls

(Hunter still can’t fully extend his left arm – after breaking his wrist in July.) and then did bicep curls like this:

Hunter – Nice Biceps!!

I used 8 pound dumbbells and the last 4-5 were a struggle for sure!!!  Happy I made it to 43!!!

I didn’t have a lot of time to work-out so I just ran a quick 5 miles (29:19) and did 1.25 miles at a nice easy pace to recover.

Today and tomorrow I get to spend my day in the gym teaching PE!!!!  I am sooo excited!!  Way, way back I started my college career as a PE major before I switched to being a Chemistry/Biology major with a PE minor.  I taught science (at the middle school level) BC but I also was a coach for years.  I’m looking forward to spending 2 whole days in the gym with my whistle!!!!

Have a great Thursday!!
