Day 19 BBM 90 Day Challenge
Today was supposed to be the 8 exercises from earlier in this week, however, with the still sore back, I decided to do another day of HIIT cardio instead. It worked well yesterday and I didn't tweak anything. I also decided against taking a night off since I am the type to go more than one day, if I do take a day off. I cannot let myself slow done if I want results.
What did I do? Well similar to yesterday, but there were a couple of changes.
**I wore my 1# weighted gloves for the entire 20 minutes.**
1 min mod. jumping jacks. I modified these by stepping out to one side, then bending at the knee (like a partial squat) as I brought my hands together over my head. Return to center and then do the same with other leg. The very last set, during the last 30 seconds, I did regular jumping jacks to gauge my body's reaction and it went very well!!
1 min. rest
1 min modified jogging in place, along with some cross-punches. I did thirty seconds of sprinting in place, arms tucked in. Then the other 30 seconds, I stood legs spread and cross-punched in to the air in front of me. By twisting at the hips, there was no pain in my back.
1 min rest
Repeat four more sets so that I have done 5 sets of jumping jacks, 5 set of sprints, 5 sets of cross-punches, and 10 minutes rest, total of 20 min.
**Again, I modified it to fit what works for me, my available space to workout and, to minimize any further damage to my back. I did do the cool-down stretches after, as well.**
Since I did not need to watch a BBM video for guidance and needed something to inspire me, I played this video repeatedly for the entire 20 minutes. ;) It always gets me going and makes me move as fast or as hard as I can, especially the punching. LOL
My eating was a bit off today as I'd run out of most of my stuff for the week. I did make sure to eat throughout the day and will log in to MFP and enter my meals for the day.
Off to take a hot shower now! ;-)
See you tomorrow!!
