WooHoo!!! Chris is off today so he did all the morning car-pool runs and I got my work-out done early!!!

For my 43, I decided to take a little part of one of the Turbo Jam work-outs and use it.  It was pure cardio!!!  Here is the break down:

• right cross – left cross
• right upper cut – left upper cut
• double right knee (out to side) – really pull down arms
• double left knee
• single right knee – single left knee  2x
• run in place 8-count

(I know – I am a total dork!!! At least the video shows how to do  the moves!)  :Happy-Grin:

I timed the 43 today – 7:25 of non-stop action!!!

For the rest of my work-out I pulled out one of my favorite DVDs of all times – Les Mills Pump Combat!!  This work-out is SO MUCH FUN!!!! It is only 45 minutes but I love it and when I finish I know I have gotten a great work-out.

Off to clean the house, or maybe I should go shopping because it is Fun Friday!!

So today had to start at the butt crack of dawn since I’m subbing (2nd grade) all day and then doing some Algebra tutoring tonight with a couple of high school students.  For 5 years I got up at 4:30 every week-day to make sure I had time to work-out then…..I quit working!!!! Now I only have occasional early mornings and they feel really EARLY!!!!!

My 43 was a quick but fun move today.  It was  a triple jab to the right with a left cross then a triple jab back to the left with a right cross.  I stayed in a low position so that my quads/hams got in on the action.  To complete all 43 only took about 1 minute 25 seconds!!!

Hunter let me video this yesterday since I knew today would be sooooo early!  :Happy:

After the quick 43 I did Turbo Jam – Cardio Party 3.  Even at such an unreasonable hour Chalean makes me happy!!!!

Here are a couple pictures of last night’s entertainment – Jordan’s 8th grade band concert.

It is a very rare occasion for Jordan to not be wearing white Nike shorts and a white Nike T-shirt.  I love how handsome he looks here!!!

Gotta finish gearing up for the day – I’m a little nervous about 20+ 2nd graders for the whole day.  (Way back before kids I taught -Middle School not such young kids)  I’m sure it will be fine!

Enjoy your Tuesday!!!

Today is a perfectly gorgeous day for late October in Kansas!!! I wanted to take advantage and do my 43 outside so I could enjoy it.  Since I’m not running right now I decided that  jumping rope would be a fun outdoor activity.  I’m not sure how fun it ended up 😉 but it was a really good work-out.

I did 43 jumps for each 1 of my 43 so 1,849 total jumps!!!! To keep track, I walked to the other end of the driveway in between each one – that way I was at the far end for the even numbers.  I tried to never stop for more than 15-20 seconds between each one.  It took approximately 30 minutes to do the 43.

(I looked like I was being tortured in all the pictures that showed my face!)

Hunter came out while I was jumping and said, “Um…some advice.  You don’t have to jump so high.  It’s easier if you barely lift your feet.”  Thanks, Hunter!!!  2 things: If I barely lift my feet, I get tangled. Also, I’m not trying to make it easy!!!  The funny thing is, he didn’t get a jump rope and join in or even demonstrate after his words of wisdom.  Silly boy!

I had to make tally marks after each 10 so that I wouldn’t lose count – didn’t want to cheat and not do 43 but I also didn’t want to do too many!!!

Now I’m off to enjoy this great day!

Happy Sunday!!
