squats | Day With KT

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!!!

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!!!
