100-Day Exercise Challenge Day 66: Another great workout

I did Turbo Kick Round 42.  Whew!

I was sweating so hard it looked like I took a shower in my clothes.  Booyah! THAT IS HOW A WORKOUT SHOULD BE DONE!  On fiyah!!

I was going to throw in another mini-workout, but after 55 minutes of that, I was good!  I gave it all my energy, going full steam for the first time.  I still have top learn more of the routine so I ca really nail it.  This will be a tough one to teach.

I'm just saying...unless I teach were most of the participants are familiar with TK or advanced exercisers, many won't pick this up or even want to attempt it. No worries, 'll break it down.

Heck yeah!

100-Day Exercise Challenge Day 65: Some of this, some of that

That's how my workout was tonight.  Some of this, some of that, a little of this and a whole lotta fun!!

Since I bought 3 new Wii games online yesterday, I figured I better get the dust off that things. I did Wii Fit until the games arrives.  Hope they really inspire me to do more.

As if...as if I don't do a lot anyway!!  I did 35 minutes of WiiFit.  Then I decided to do Hip Hop ABS instead of HUSTLE, just because, I have to keep it interested.  Not that I am bored with Hustle because I have like a gazillion workouts!  But look at Shaun T and those abs!!

I did a 45 minute workout of that. I absolutely love, love, love HHA for different reasons than I love, love, love HHH. HHA takes its name serious, it works the ABS! Man, I was really feeling it.  It's like doing 1,000 crunches standing.  Love it!

And if that was not enough, I did a 20 minute Turbo Jam workout, why, just because I can!!  I have all this energy, I probably could have done a longer workout but I am also working on getting to bed at a decent time.

Total workout: 100 minutes!!

100-Day Exercise Challenge Day 64: Do more!

Each time I work out I try and push just a bit harder.  Either I go an extra 10 minutes, or I push myself at a higher intensity. Who wants the same old boring workout day after day!! 

And how can I ever get bored with the gazillion workouts that I have!  And I just ordered more!

I ordered Jeanette Jenkins Bikini Bootcamp workout because she is starting a challenge in April every Tues/Thurs and I want in! What better way to work out but with a support group.

And I also bought THREE new Wii games! The Michael Jackson Experience, Just Dance 2 and Zumba!  Aw yeah, it is going to be on!  I'll review them once I do them.

Tonight's workout was Turbo Kick 41, again!!

50 minutes.

100-Day Exercise Challenge Day 63: Plan big

The plan was to do a double workout. Two 60-minute workouts for 120 minutes. 

Welllll...

I did not get home till late and still had LOTS of chores to do.

But a 60 minute workout ain't bad either!  I decided to do the last Hip Hop Hustle I had not tried, HHH 7.  It was not bad at all, I liked it, but I did 45 minutes and that was enough.  I wanted to do something I knew through and through.  I put in the CD to The Show 5 and did that 3 times in a row.  I followed that with free style to one song and then a cool down.

Total workout time: 60 minutes.

Tomorrow I go for 120.

100-Day Exercise Challenge Day 62: Turbo Kick and Hustle

This is how you get it done people!!

Not one but TWO high energy workouts. WHAT??  And I gave it my all and more.  The more I learn Turbo Kick 41, the more I can put into it so I was really great with it.

You want results? They don't come for free man!  Push hard!  Not only has my workouts been on FIYAH lately, my eating has been totally in control.  Combine those two and the kid is back!!

Tomorrow I go bowling with my sorors and don't know if I can fit a workout in, BUT, I may ....

Total workout time: 75 minutes

100-Day Exercise Challenge Day 61: Turbo Kick Round 41

Chalene really brought it in this one.  I love, love, LOVE it! 

Okay, but I'mma need to learn this one before I give it my all.  I was stumbling through some of it, but when I have it down, I know this is a calorie killer.  I have a long way to go before I feel confident with this.  But I will chip at it daily.

What's so killer about Turbo Kick? Hmmm, the punches, the kicks, the energy, the music! 

Every Turbo Kick starts with a nice warm up with lots of punches in it and a few kicks.  Then the punch section starts, MY FAVORITE!!  Not only does it work your arms, it works your abs because there is a lot of twisting.  I could just do this section alone and be a happy camper.

Then the kicks, which for some reason, I don't feel it as much.  Maybe I need higher kicks or more power in them.  Definitely need to perfect the technique here.

Then there is the punches and kicks section, which I like because it seems a little fast paced, annnnd....I know what is after that. TURBO section!  I didn't think I would have the energy, but lo and behold, I just brought it and did the whole thing (well, most at turbo level, the rest I took it down a notch).  But the Turbo section is what makes Turbo Kick so exciting, getting your heart rate up that high, that fast and having fun!

As Chalene says, "It's a party!"  and "If exercise is not fun, you won't do it!"

I definitely felt like I had fun at a party. Thanks Chalene!

100-Day Exercise Challenge Day 60: Sweat, sweat, sweat blood!

I had the best workout tonight.  Hip Hop Hustle 5 (sorta addicted to this) and Turbo Kick 42 (totally confused with this).

I did Hip Hop Hustle Part 1 and then Part 2 which I had never done. Wow!  That one was probably the toughest hustle I have seen and those are supposed to be easy.  Phuh! I LOVE IT!!  Might take me a minute to master it, but I'll keep at it.  I did The Show maybe 6-7 times...in a row...and I was sweaty!

I still have a ways to go before I have it down like I want but I am getting a lot better.  I did some practicing with my cueing, which I suck at!  I really, can't seem to cue at the right part, but I think some of that is memorization. Knowing what it coming up next so I can cue before that moves starts.  By the time I say "step knee" I'm already doing it, but I need to cue BEFORE the move starts.  Drats!

Turbo Kick Round 42, I did the preview this times as I was too tired for the full out workout.  I still pushed it.  I think the only way for me to master this Round of TK is to break it down and learn section by section.  After I did the complete preview, I did the workouts section of Finesse and legs. Killer!! 

Total workout time: 75 minutes
