Day 51 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Day 51 BBM 90 Day Challenge 

Today's mission: 20 minute HIIT Cardio!  Now, as you know, I do that every Cardio day, as opposed to the longer workout.  Many in the Challenge do 45+ minutes of other cardio exercises so for them, this was a shift.  For me, it's a matter of choosing which exercises I want to do today.

• Elevated mountain climbers
• Rest 1 minute
• Jumping jacks
• Rest 1 minute
• High knees
• Rest 1 minute
• Jumping squats
• Rest 1 minute
• Repeat x 3 for total of 24 minute HIIT Cardio

I know I went over a little bit, but I wanted to mix things up quite a bit and so that put me over the 20 minute mark.  PHEW!

Need to get the butt and tummy toned!!!  Legs are shaping up; I can feel it through my pants.  Arms are starting to slim down too.  Slowly, but surely, I am getting there.

I STILL struggle with eating.  I don't mind eating clean, but I don't eat enough throughout the day and that's a big no-no.  =(  I do try, but on a tight budget, sometimes there just isn't enough food in the house.

"Keep Moving Forward"... (Meet the Robinsons)

That's exactly what I am doing.  Until tomorrow...

Day 50 BBM 90 Day Challenge

http://facebook.com/BikiniBodyMommy

Hey friends!  Back on track again.  Day 48 was Cardio, but I skipped it and Day 49 was a rest day.

This was a tough one, for sure.  I have limited space and had to get creative with my sturdy, elevated surface.  I used a chair against a pool table for lunges, and the basement steps for push-ups and mountain climbers.  LOL

Here's today workout results:

• Bent over Dumbell Rows:  40/41/39
• Rear Foot Elevated Lunges Left:  17/21/20  Right:  17/20/20
• Elevated Push ups (no modifications):  15/16/16
• Elevated Mountain Climbers:  75/80/83

What to do:  Set interval timer 1 Minute and complete as many of that exercise for FULL minute.
Take a minute rest .. and move on to the next exercise.

Repeat for a total of 3 ROUNDS.

DONE!

Day 43 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Bridge Fly 

*Wearing 1# weighted gloves and using 5# dumbbells*

Day 43 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Hey friends!  Thanks for stopping by.  I am a little "off" still.  Day 41 there was no post but it was a Cardio day.  There's no post cause I didn't do my Cardio that day.  The next day was, Day 42 a "Rest Day". So I am picking up with Day 43 today.  =)

Here's the new set of exercises for Day 43:


20 REPS for each exercise x 3 ROUNDS

Each round consists of :
1 – Bridge Flys
2 – Alternating forward lunges
3 – Squat tricep extension
4 – Plank hold with alternating foot lift = 1 MINUTE

--->  YOUTUBE VIDEO: http://youtu.be/fvwkqpVbdvE

This went fairly well.  I have a very closed in area, so I had to get creative as to which way to move, but overall, I got it DONE!!  I counted on the 1 minute planks and did 40/40/42 leg lifts.

Coming upstairs after cooling down...my thighs burned a bit.  LOL  That's what happens after two days of rest I guess.

How is YOUR journey going??  Would love to hear from you.  Comment below.  =)

Day 40 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Day 40 BBM 90 Day Challenge

REMINDER:  I am a day behind.  This workout was for Friday 2/14.  Again, I will continue to follow the week's plan, just one day behind the group and hopefully, after tomorrow, will be caught up on 2/17.  =)

Day 40 .. “LOVE your LEGS & BOOTY” workout!

20 Full Squats
30 Second Squat Hold
20 Squat Pulses
( Repeat Set)

20 Alternating Lunge Kicks
20 Jump Lunges
30 Second Lunge Hold-each Side
(Repeat Set)

20 Calf Raises
20 Calf Raises this time one leg at a time, 10 each
(Repeat Set)

So happy that this is the last of these leg sets.  OMG.  I was falling over and laughing.  If only you were a fly on the wall... LOL!!  But...I made it through all of the exercises, slowly but surely.  And the BURN was as usual, intense, but still wasn't as bad as the first time.

I finished off not with stretches, but by dancing to Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold." It always made me dance at work, so much so that even after I stopped working there, rumor is that my old co-workers start dancing when it comes on...and think of me.  How sweet is that? And, knowing that, I dance...thinking of them!

Anyway...going to have my late snack then get ready for my shower.

Remember, I am here to cheer YOU on...just let me know, okay?  =)

Day 39 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Day 39 BBM 90 Day Challenge

"It’s time to get your CARDIO ON!  YOU CHOOSE … 45 minutes cardio OR 20 minutes of HIIT."


As usual, I chose 20 min HIIT.  I know, no sense of adventure there, right?  LOL  Wait until it gets warmer, I promise I will get outside!

Today,  Again, I wore my 1# weighted gloves throughout the entire 20 minutes.

Unlike Wednesday, today I did feel residual burn in my legs.  My butt cramp from yesterday is gone, thankfully, but still some discomfort there.  Apparently, it's an odd thing to happen, as a few friends commented on my Facebook page and one hadn't ever experienced it before.  LOL  It HURT!



Today's 20 min HIIT Cardio:

• 1 minute jumping jacks

• 1 minute rest

• 1 minute high-knees*  

• 1 minute rest.

• Repeat four more times for a total of 20 min HIIT Cardio.

*If you're not sure what I mean by "high-knees", it looks like this:

You lift one knee high then jump and bring other knee high.  If jumping gets too tough, I just bring the knee high, tap then alternate to other leg, minus jump.  Make sense?  If not, here's a YouTube video to demonstrate:

(You only need to watch the first 45 seconds of video to see what I am doing)

http://youtu.be/OAJ_J3EZkdY

Then, I stretched for a few minutes, focusing on lower back and legs since they've gotten the bulk of the workout this week.  Briana provides a warm up/cool down video for exercises, but I also use ones I've learned in other workout challenges.

Day 38 BBM 90 Day Challenge

REMINDER:  I am a day behind.  This workout was for Wednesday 2/12.  Again, I will continue to follow the week's plan, just one day behind the group and hopefully, will be caught up on 2/17.  =)

Day 38 .. “LOVE your LEGS & BOOTY” workout!

20 Full Squats
30 Second Squat Hold
20 Squat Pulses
( Repeat Set)

20 Alternating Lunge Kicks
20 Jump Lunges
30 Second Lunge Hold-each Side
(Repeat Set)

20 Calf Raises
20 Calf Raises this time one leg at a time, 10 each
(Repeat Set)

I actually had to take a break and skip some of the jump lunges because I got a butt cramp.  OMG... I had to laugh at that one.

Otherwise, I made it through all of the exercises, slowly but surely.  And the BURN was bad...intense, but still wasn't as bad as 2 days ago.  Guess that's good, right?

So now, going to have my late snack, a Greek yogurt, then get ready for my shower.

Again, thanks so much for following along on my journey.  It's not perfect and I skip days, don't finish workouts and sometimes make sh*t up as I go...but I am sticking to this journey.  And, even though I am not highly disciplined, I think sticking through it to the end, giving it my all, is key.

Same goes for YOU.  Whatever you've been striving to achieve...anything at all... just keep at it.  You quit?  So what, pick up and start again.  You can do it---if you want it bad enough.  And, I am here to cheer YOU on...just let me know, okay?  =)

Day 37 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Day 37 BBM 90 Day Challenge

It’s time to get your CARDIO ON!

YOU CHOOSE … 45 minutes cardio OR 20 minutes of HIIT.


As usual, I chose 20 min HIIT.


Today, as most Cardio days, I chose to do jumping jacks, sprints and punches. Again, I wore my 1# weighted gloves throughout the entire 20 minutes.

Despite the intense BURN I went through in yesterday's workout, my legs didn't hurt one bit today.  However, I found that when I started doing the jumping jacks, my knees were bothering me.  A sharp type of pain that I didn't like one bit.  So, I improvised, doing modified jumping jacks by stepping out instead of jumping.  Not as energetic, but I don't want to cause any injuries.


1 minute modified jumping jacks

1 minute rest

30 seconds high-knee sprinting  (this didn't bother my knees much at all...odd)

15 seconds cross punches and 15 seconds uppercuts.

1 minute rest.


Repeat four more times for a total of 20 min HIIT Cardio.

Today's playlist was once again, Katy Perry with some songs that always fire me up and encourage me to keep going.  ;)

Then, I stretched for a few minutes.  Overall, a decent workout that got my heart rate up there.

Day 36 BBM 90 Day Challenge

NOTE:  I am a day behind.  This workout was for Monday 2/10 but DONE on 2/11.  Since I had two ret days in a row, I will continue to follow the week's plan, just one day behind the group and hopefully, will be caught up on 2/17.  =)

 Day 36 .. “LOVE your LEGS & BOOTY” workout!

20 Full Squats *Not too bad*
30 Second Squat Hold *OMG-BURN!!!*
20 Squat Pulses *Ow, Ow, Ow*
( Repeat Set)

20 Alternating Lunge Kicks *Not bad*
20 Jump Lunges *Ow*
30 Second Lunge Hold-each Side *UGH...could NOT hold up knee much at all*
(Repeat Set)

20 Calf Raises *Jelly Legs*
(Repeat Set)

BURN!!!!!!!!!!!  I couldn't do these workouts as directed.  If you watch the video, Briana was having a tough time.  Normally, I love squats and lunges but OMG.... I am burnt.  Fried.  Crisp.  Damn!

Anyway, I need a hot shower and rest now.  LOL

I can't even think straight that was so fricking hard.  LMAO

Day 35 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Day 35 BBM 90 Day Challenge

It was later in the evening when I realized that yesterdays' post saved to Draft, but didn't Publish.  In case you wanted to read it, here is yesterday's Post  --->  http://joymarino.blogspot.com/2014/02/day-34-bbm-90-day-challenge.html

Day 34:  REST DAY!!

Since I've gotten into the habit, I did my measurements today.  I am proud to say that even though I didn't have the best of weeks, no numbers went up.

Weight loss:  even

Inches:  minus 1.25"

I will take that!  LOL  Even if I lose only 1.25" every week, by the end of the challenge, I will have trimmed down quite nicely.  And, I totally plan on starting a new challenge immediately after this one concludes.  Not sure if it'll be another BBM Challenge or something different like Beachbody's Focus T25, which I've had my eye on for awhile.

And, on a personal note, Happy 5 Months to my baby, Julianna!



Would love to hear from YOU!  Share your own journey, comments, thoughts, ideas, questions... anything.  Thanks for following along.  I appreciate your love & support immensely.

Day 34 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Not a great pic, but proving I am doing it!  =)

Day 34 BBM 90 Day Challenge

From Briana:

Day 34 BIKINI BODY MOMMIES!

It’s time to get your CARDIO ON!

YOU CHOOSE … 45 minutes cardio OR 20 minutes of HIIT.

Of course, once again I chose 20 min HIIT.  I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can do some 45 minute Cardio.  I don't have any equipment in-home to use, so it'll have to wait until I can get out there without freezing my butt off...or worrying about slipping on ice.  LOL

So, today, as most Cardio days, I chose to do jumping jacks, sprints and punches. Again, I wore my 1# weighted gloves throughout the entire 20 minutes.

• 1 Minute jumping jacks

• 1 minute rest

• 30 seconds sprinting (today I pretended I was jumping in tires like they show in military bootcamp videos... bringing knees up fairly high each step.)
• 15 seconds cross punches and 15 seconds uppercuts.

• 1 minute rest.

Repeat four more times for a total of 20 min HIIT Cardio.

Since Cardio doesn't require a video, I find a playlist I like on YouTube and run that in the background, plus a separate tab running a 1 minute timer on the online stopwatch and have my phone counting the overall time of workout (making sure I do at least 20 minutes total). Today's playlist was Katy Perry with some songs that always fire me up and encourage me to keep going.  ;)

Then, I stretched for a few minutes, since my legs were still burning from all those lunges this week and I definitely don't want my back tensing up again.  Overall, a great workout and I gave myself a high-five and yes, I fist-pumped when I was done.  LOL

Please comment, share, Like,  RT, Plus, Pin...whatever works.  Thanks!

Tomorrow is Rest Day, so I am taking the day to do just that.  See you Monday!!

Day 33 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Not a great pic, but that's me, stretching. =)

Day 33 BBM 90 Day Challenge

EXERCISE #1. DEATH MARCH: 100 WALKING LUNGE CHALLENGE  Either 4 Minutes or 100, whichever comes first.  Total: 75 in 4 minutes (7 more than Wednesday!)

Rest for 2 MINUTES

EXERCISE #2. ONE ARM WINDMILLS

Perform 10 reps on one arm, then switch and do the other for 3 sets total

EXERCISE #3. BOAT POSE/ELEVATED-LEG, OBLIQUE CRUNCH 5 sets total *Again, only did 3 sets*

Like I said the other day, this is some tough work!  Briana makes it look so simple, she is my inspiration because she isn't perfect and you can tell she is working hard in the videos, not like a Pro video.

Tonight, I did okay on the lunges, although my legs BURNED right from the beginning.  I looked down, saw the outline of my leg in my pants and felt encouraged to keep going and burn that fat.

Tonight, the windmills gave me some trouble.  On my HIIT Cardio days, I do lots of jumping jacks and between both exercises, my shoulders and neck are tense and sore.  Will have to do something else for cardio for a little while.

I did better with the crunch exercises.  I folded my mat an extra time to cushion my bum and didn't tuck my leg in quite as tight.  Yet, I still only got three sets done.

My diet has been off and I am hoping to get back on track soon.  My problem has always been not eating throughout the day and that is still an issue.  I am glad you are following along on my journey, but I want to hear about yours.  What program are you following?  What exercises are you doing?  What are your results so far?  Please comment below and let me know.  Would love to hear from you.

Thanks for dropping by!!

Day 31 BBM 90 Day Challenge

EXERCISE #1. DEATH MARCH: 100 WALKING LUNGE CHALLENGE  Either 4 Minutes or 100, whichever comes first.  Total: 68 in 4 minutes

Rest for 2 MINUTES

EXERCISE #2. ONE ARM WINDMILLS

Perform 10 reps on one arm, then switch and do the other for 3 sets total

EXERCISE #3. BOAT POSE/ELEVATED-LEG, OBLIQUE CRUNCH 5 sets total *Only did 3 sets*

This was TOUGH!  Briana makes it look so simple...then, try to keep up in the videos and whoa!  LOL  I did okay on the lunges, although if I had more room to walk, I think I may have gotten a few more in.  I definitely felt the burn from #30 on.  EEK!

Again, the windmills looked easy, but weren't.  I felt a lot of clicking in one shoulder and my neck is always tense, so that was difficult.  I ended up using my 1# weights without a dumbbell tonight.

UGH... these crunches were horrible.  First, I have a boney butt, so it has always hurt to balance on my "seat" then add to it the lift of my leg...as she points out in the video, I cramped in both hips.  Unfortunately, I couldn't do set 4 & 5 tonight, but hopefully next time.  =(

Thanks for dropping by and I hope that you are finding these posts useful.  I may not be doing as well as other people, but I am doing my hardest work and still getting results.  =)

Thank you for your support!!!

Day 30 BBM 90 Day Challenge

Day 30 BBM 90 Day Challenge

One-third of the way through the Challenge.  

Congrats to all Mommies (and Daddies too)on the Challenge with me. 

From Briana, Bikini Body Mommy:

"It's time to WEIGH, RE-MEASURE, TAKE ANOTHER SET of PROGRESS PICS .... and get your CARDIO ON!  YOU CHOOSE ... 45 minutes cardio OR 20 minutes of HIIT."

I did my measurements over the weekend and if you didn't read that post (Day 27), I lost 5# and 4 inches so far on the BBM Challenge!!  If I can keep this momentum, I will hit goals by the end of Challenge, which is about 15# weight loss and around 12 inches lost.

I will, of course, choose the 20 min HIIT.

Today I am doing:
5 minutes jumping jacks (with 1# gloves)
5 minutes sprints
1 minute rest between each set for 10 minutes rest.

Also, I was playing with the baby, lifting her up and down and noticed my biceps and shoulders are becoming much more defined.  And, as I said the other day, my pants felt looser, which is why I measured early.  Awesome.  =)

I hit this HARD and was dying!  LOL  Sweating, panting... whoa!  Almost didn't make it to the 20 minute mark, but I DID!!

See you tomorrow!!
