Friday!!!  WooHoo!!!

The 43 today was a hip lift while on a stability ball with a body bar over my hips – confused?  It was a simple but effective move.  I started with my hips relaxed like this:

You can sort-of see the body bar (about 5-8 pounds).  Then, I lifted my hips and held for 5 seconds each rep until I reached the magic 43.

The movement if small  but by holding at the top and only lowering for about a second, I totally felt it in my butt and quads!!!

Today I also did some Turbo Fire  (one of my favorites!!!) – Fire 55EZ (don’t let the EZ fool you – this is solid cardio with 2 minutes of HIIT thrown in!).  I love any work-out with Chalean!

So, you might know/remember that the other day (Saturday) I did 5 x M100 because Hunter didn’t think I could.  Well, pretty much any time someone doubts my fitness capability  I have to prove them wrong, duh!!  I succeeded and both Hunter and my brother Sam, who was also sure I couldn’t do it, were impressed.  Well, Monday night I woke up in the night with a major pain in my shoulder, upper back and into my chest.  I spent 2 days in pain and after the 3rd night of almost no sleep I went to the DR yesterday.  She checked me out and said – severe muscle strain.  Then she asked if I had done anything to cause it.  I told her that Monday’s work-out wouldn’t have hurt my shoulders.  She said no it probably happened over the week-end like maybe Saturday.   OH…….

I tried to explain about M100s and burpees and mountain climbers and proving to  your 11-year-old that you still totally rock…..She looked at me and said – I don’t think you should do that again.  Fine – I won’t (until Hunter challenges me to do 10 of them!!!!).

Anyway, she prescribed a muscle relaxer which helped a great deal last night and today I punched out a lot of the soreness with my work-out so I’m ready – bring on the next challenge!!!

Gotta go get fitted for my Hair Net!!!  I’m serving the Thanksgiving lunch at Hunter’s school today!

Have a Fun Friday!!!
