YIKES!!! Today’s 43 was rough and brutal and hard!!! I got this move from Jody at Truth2BeingFit. I don’t know how she made it look so easy cause it is anything but!
Start with 3 medicine balls.
Put 1 under each hand and then try (key word – try) and balance both feet on the 3rd ball. Seriously, just holding this position was hard.
The actual move is a push-up!! x 43

I would rather do the 4-ball push-up any day!!! The narrow feet (on the same ball) makes this move so much harder! I lost count of how many times I fell off!
So, what are you doing sitting here reading – go try this move – I know you want to!!!
Today I pulled out another DVD that I haven’t done in awhile – Turbo Jam – Cardio Party 3. This is another series that Chalean Johnson does and I love her workouts. Always high energy and fun music! Sometimes she gets a little dancey for me – I just add in extra jumps when that happens and it works out perfectly!
I decided to challenge myself today with a plank hold and wall-sit (cause sometimes I’m stupid crazy like that!!).
I like to do planks with my arms fully extended (like might not be exactly the right word – but it is how I usually do them).
Since I did these after the boys were at school – there are no pictures from today!! I wanted to find one of me in plank and this was as close as I got.
Plank Time – 3:30
Then I decided to see how long I could last in a wall-sit (cause I figured why not at this point!!).
Wall-Sit Time – 3:00
And now – my arms and legs are jelly!!!
Do you do little self-challenges? Share if you do (I might like to join in on the fun!).
Happy Wednesday!
