Today’s workout brought to you by the giant bruise on my leg! Basically felt like I was being stabbed every step I took. It’s the price you pay for awesomeness though.

So anyways, Today I tackled the 2nd Do Life Buddy workout, sent to me by my buddy Jess. I made the mistake of suggesting she give us a taste of what her trainer puts her through. What was I thinking? I made it through though, probably a lot slower on the strength training stuff than she does with her trainer, but I still got it done. Here’s the workout:

Warm up - 5 minute light jog on treadmill
10 burpees followed by 20 seconds mountain climbers
12 Jump squats  (Place feet together, jump up, and then into a squat, jump up from squat position back into feet together position. Arms out in front of you whole time.)
12 (total, 6 each leg) lunges while holding heavy weight (lunge forward normal lunch with R foot, then with R lunch at a 45 degree angle to the right, just shift your body. Do the same on the left hand side)
Repeat jump squats
Repeat lunges
Side plank (with a dumbell, arm on top straight out and pull towards your body 12 times and then switch sides)
Medicine ball sit-ups (sit-up position, angle your upper body, and go to each side 12 times touching the ball to the floor each side)
Repeat side plank and medicine ball sit-ups
10 pound-ish weight, hold in front of you now with both hands on weight, rotate the weight around your head to the other side and hold in original position for 2 seconds and rotate behind your head back to the other side. Repeat x12 (total)
10 pound-ish weight - both hands place weight on right hip, rotate towards left side and lift weight to the sky on the left hand side towards the ceiling and look up at the weight as you rotate. x12 each side
Repeat both 10 pound-ish weight exercises

Okay now after this I have to do a cardio workout.

Warm-up: 3.5 @ 0.0% incline - 5 minutes
5.2 @ 4.5% incline - 3 minutes
4.5 @ 4.0% incline - 2 minutes
4.8 @ 3.5% incline - 3 minutes
4.0 @ 3.0% incline - 2 minutes
5.5 @ 5.0% incline - 1 minute
4.0 @ 3.0% incline - 2 minutes
(Repeat intervals same as above 2x.) 
Cool down - 3.0 at 0% incline 2 minutes

It was a great workout, the hardest thing for me was the strength training, and specifically, the side planks with arm row. I have a hard enough time with side planks on their own, adding in a row was near impossible.
