  • :60sec Tread water

Friday

FOR TIME–Aim for 20min or less!

  • 1/2 mile run
  • 50 Jump ropes – So of course I couldn’t find my good jump rope and I had to pretend
  • 40 Air squats
  • 30 Walking lunges
  • 20 Sit-ups
  • 10 Kettlebell figure 8’s – I used a 15 lb weight and passed it around and between my legs in a figure eight.

I did it in 11:15.  This is the kind of workout that I didn’t mind at all doing by myself but would have dreaded doing as a group.  I can run a half mile with no problem if I just let myself be slow.  I would have been miserable if I had been trying to keep up with a group of very speedy people.

Sunday

2.5 mile walk
