Today was the Power workout with the 8 pound resistance band. This is one of my favorite workouts. I’m excited to be doing it twice this week!! I was SUPER excited that I was actually able to do 4 or 5 side planks on both sides with my legs and arms extended-like the picture I posted below. It is such a hard move and I’m thrilled in just ONE week that I’m seeing progress!! woot woot!!
Burned 315 calories in 50 minutes according to my HRM.

Today was Slim cardio workout. This is always fun and gets my hear pumping! I’m glad my HRM is working again with new batteries.
Burned 277 calories in 40 minutes.

Wednesday January 15:
Was suppose to do Yoga today but I worked late and had a horrible time putting the kids to bed so I went to bed myself and didn’t do any workouts today.

Thursday January 16:
Rest Day!!

Friday January 17:
Rest Day… again!! 🙁 PMS-need I say more??!! UGH!!!

Saturday January 18:
Did Power today. I hate that I had 3 off days in a row with my Baladea workout so I made sure to get up early even though it was saturday! Had to take it easy but still an awesome workout. I LOVE the last session which is abs on the floor. I usually HATE ab work but I love that Holly uses a towel for her ab moves. Makes a ton of difference!
Burned 269 calories in 51 minutes according to my HRM.

Sunday January 19:
Rest Day!

Here are my pictures from the week:
Overall I was obviously disapointed with my week 2 but I have to take it easy for at least 2 or 3 days when I have my period, so I just do the best I can and move on.
Ready to start an awesome week 3!!
