Just like GI Jane (or maybe not)

Today’s original 43 was an EPIC FAIL!!!   I truly thought I was ready to attempt the 1-arm push-up (just like Demi Moore in GI Jane!!).

I remember being in my late 20s and watching that movie thinking “no way could I ever do that!”.  However, almost 20 years later I think “for sure, I can do that!!!”.

Here is my pathetic attempt:

So, then I thought “No big deal – I will just do them on my knees.”

Umm….form????

Moving on…. I decided to continue working on my strength and will hopefully attempt those again later!

I picked a different 43 and started fresh!  This one was a side-lying triceps push-up.

I know it looks like I’m going really fast (maybe I was a little too fast at the beginning) but that is just the demo!!!  Completing 43 of these on each side really was a great work-out for my triceps!!!

Today was another day of (I’m sure this is no surprise!!!) – Les Mills Combat.  Today was Combat 45 – another fast-pace, fun-filled over-all great work-out!!!  (Really, I just wanted to see how many word combos I could hyphenate!)

I thought about getting in some punching bag work (and I might still do that).  I’m really hoping that Jordan will want to go for a nice easy jog with me when he gets home this afternoon – it is supposed to be mid-60s!!!!  Even if I can’t convince him (I would just drag him along but he is bigger than me), I might lace up and head out later!!!  Gotta enjoy the nice weather now since I’m sure that in a day or two it will be gone again!

Do any of y’all have a particular move or exercise that you are trying to build up to?  

Happy Wednesday!!!
