Wed., Nov. 19 - 6am Workout

Just finished a great 6am FitFunCamp workout in Destrehan. Small group but intense. We started off with a dynamic warm-up (high knees, butt kicks, A-skips, backpedal, carioca) to get the blood flowing and the eyes open.

Started 30-10 tabatas (30 seconds intense exercise, 10 second recovery) for 4 rounds. Round included alternating lunges, pushups, hip extensions, squats, pillar holds, squat thrusts, jumping jacks and running in place.

We Xcelerated our fat loss with this routine in 30 minutes. You can feel it in your muscles as they start to tire in the later rounds. What a good feeling.

Followed that with a post-workout recovery shake (chocolate) to help those muscles recover quicker. At this age, 37, my body tends to feel the effects a bit more but the shake helps shorten the recovery time and my muscles are ready to go the following day.

Possible follow-up workout later this evening. Time to get the kids up and off to school.

  2. Work out was great! Brad is very motivating and knows my goals and limits. The circuit training was great because I feel like I worked out a lot of different parts of my body in the same time that it takes for me to brush my teeth, wash my face, and get there, lol! I'm very much enjoying my workouts in the morning, because like Christie said, it is a definite great start to my day!
