graduation | Day With KT

Today’s 43 was total core (oblique) work!!! The rest of my body is sore – between the long run yesterday and the burpees the other day (been awhile since I’ve done push-ups!!)so I decided to take it easy today!!!

The set-up for this move is similar to a crunch (on your back, knees bent, feet on floor) except you keep 1 elbow firmly on the ground the entire time. Start with left elbow on the ground at your side and right arm extended straight up – crunch up, reaching arm straight up (elbow on ground).

In the video, I only did 4 per side but you know in “real-life” I did 43 per side!!!

No other workout today – yesterday drained me!!!

Hunter has had a lot of events the past couple of days!!!

6th Grade Graduation:

His bright outfit made it easy to find him up on stage!!

getting recognized for the Presidential Gold Award

The kindergarten students and 6th grade students all marched up to the stage together and sang the same song that Hunter’s class sang 7 years ago (for his Kindergarten graduation) – so cute!!

Yesterday at school was Super Sports Day – always a great way to end the school year!!!

Hunter isn’t paying any attention to Chris – but some of his friends are all about waving!!!

And finally, last night was the semi-annual cello bash! Hunter takes private lessons from a wonderful cello teacher and every December and May she hosts the cello bash for all of her students. It’s a great event (but long, very long!!!).

The Pink Panther song is my favorite (because I don’t know the Mission Impossible theme as well).

Thanks for letting me share all about Hunter!!!

Any exciting plans for the long weekend?

Happy Fun Friday!!!

Today’s 43 was all about the core!! I got this move from Nellie’s blog Brooklyn Active Mama. Every Wednesday she features a new move and today’s Weekly Wednesday Workout was the windshield wiper!!!

I made a slight change to the way she had it demoed – in her version, you keep your knees bent. I decided to increase the challenge and keep my legs straight!!! You lay on your back with your arms extended out from your body and legs straight up. Slowly lower your legs to the right (as far as you can go while keeping your upper body still) then move your legs slowly to the left – a right and left = 1 rep. Confused? – watch the video!

I had a hard time keeping my shoulder still – gotta keep working on it!! Try some of these and you will immediately feel it in your obliques!! After completing 43 I think I will be sore tomorrow!!!

Today I went back to one of my favorite workouts – Combat!! I did Combat 60 – Ultimate Cardio Fighter!!! It was awesome – I’ve definitely missed my combat time!!!!

I don’t know about other places/school districts but in our district you have 4 graduations before you finish school!!! Kindergarten, 6th grade, 8th grade and of course, the final graduation from high school.

Today, I have a 6th grader and an 8th grader graduating!!! (Which means that we are officially done with elementary school – Hunter and entering high school – Jordan!!!)

The 8th grade graduation is just names being called out – not really a ceremony. The rest of the day is just “filler” for the kids. We may win a “bad parent” award but Jordan didn’t want to go today and we said it was fine – his summer started yesterday!!!

I still made him let me take a picture!! Can you tell he has only been up a few minutes?! And, of course, he is in his standard white!!! (He has worn white Nike shorts and a white Nike T-shirt every day since the beginning of 6th grade – with a few exceptions when he had to wear specific things!!!)

Hunter’s graduation from 6th grade starts with a lunch for students and parents/families followed by a 6th grade talent show and then the “graduation.” It will be fun!!
