Day 16 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Day 16 Bikini Body Mommy 90 Day Challenge

Today's workout:

CARDIO:  Choice between 45 min or 20 min HIIT exercise.

I will almost always choose 20 min HIIT because I don't have 45 minutes (plus warm-up and cool-down) and this time of year, walking or running is out.  We just got a TON of snow!!

Here's what I did today:

1 minute jumping jacks with 1# weighted gloves

1 minute rest

1 minute jump rope with gloves and 1 pound wrist weights as the "handles" for my imaginary jump rope.

1 minute rest.

Repeated until hit the 20 minute mark on stop watch.

Now, I used online-stopwatch.com to count each minute and sound a chime.  At the same time, I used the stopwatch on my phone to count my overall workout time.

Every time I felt the burn, I pushed harder.  I jumped higher, swung my arms more, whatever it took to push through the pain.  I started only doing 25 modified jumping jacks (stepping out instead of jumping) and by the 5th time, I did over 50 (20 modified, 5 jumping, 20 modified, 5 jumping).  Hoooowahhhhh!!!

Briana, Bikini Body Mommy has plenty of advice and recommendations for exercises to do.  I have limited space and am stuck indoors, so I work with what she gives me and modify it as I go along.  Like, adding the weighted gloves and hand weights was totally my idea, not anyone else's.  My arms are flabby as he** so I will use those gloves every chance I get.

After, I cooled down, I drank ~20 ounces of water because I forgot to bring it with me and followed that with a whey protein shake.  Now...off for a hot relaxing shower.  After that I will apply my stretch mark concoction and relax for the night.  

Day 16...DONE!
