Thursday March 5th

Now, before I start, I have to say that I absolutely love my workouts! So as you read through my day to day recaps, know that it ROCKS! Don't for a minute think that it is not the best workout I have ever experienced, because it absolutely is! I am just trying to share the "experience" with you!!!! :) So, don't be afraid!!! Get over to Full Throttle Athletics and give it a shot! I posted a video at the bottom of this, so check it out!! Remember... NO LAUGHING!!
So, here is the funny thing! Just when I think it doesn't and can't get any harder, SURPRISE!!! :) Today started with warm ups... so far so good! we then moved to some dead lifts with the Kettlebell, ouch, followed by squats with the Kettlebell, ouch! The squats were pretty fun because I learned how to swing the bell from side to side!!
We then moved into our first 1,2,3 sequence! Now, here is where it gets "fun". I had to do 1 push up,correctly, then 2 of these ring lat pull ups, then run back and do 2 push ups, then 4 ring lat pull ups, then 3 push ups, and 6 lat pull ups. I then got to breath for a few seconds and started over. I did 5 rounds of this. So I have to brag and say I did ALL push up on my hands and toes!! Well, except for that last one where I was stuck on the ground. No need for applause! :)
We then moved into my second half of the workout. As BJ at Full Throttle Athletics begins to show me the next stage, I think, "sounds easy enough"!! Yea, then I start! 10 Kettle Bell Swings, followed by these squats where I have to squat until my butt is as close to the floor and my heels as possible, pick up medicine ball, stand up and extend it over my head, then pull back into the low squat and throw the ball on the ground as hard as I can 10 time. I go back and forth between these for, I can't even remember, how many times. Here is where it gets good!!!!! On the last set of those low squat things, I fell........ YES I SAID I FELL!!!! Laugh now!! Go ahead!! BUT, don't judge until you try it!! :) Once you try it, you have my permission to say whatever you want! That's my rule with my husband and my oldest son! They are not allowed to laugh or make any "weak" comments until they give it go round! Then, and only then, they have earned the right to make fun of me! Between you and I though, after one session, there will be no more jokes! :) I am pretty confident about that!!
I also met Kori today. BJ's wife, and the other owner of Full Throttle Athletics. She is not only absolutely adorable, but strong!! I have to say, one of the things I admire most in women is strength. I totally believe that strong women, emotionally and physically, are the most beautiful creatures on earth! And I don't mean like body builder looking. I mean women that when you look at them and talk with them, give off this air of "I can take on the World! I may not win, but I can take it on!"
I guess that has alot to do with why I made the decision to train at Full Throttle Athletics. as I continue to grow on who I am emotionally, I feel it is equally important to continue to work on who I am physically. I do not by any means think that being a certain size or weight has ANYTHING to do with what kind of person you are, because it most definitely does NOT! I do believe that the way you nurture your soul and body does however! For ME PERSONALLY, without a strong mind and body, there is no way I could get through some of the weeks we have in our family! I know that SO MANY of you know exactly what I mean.
So, anyway!! I really encourage you ALL to give it a shot! I even snagged a couple 2 free week passes, so let me know if you want one!!!! You could head over and try a couple of their Look Great Naked Boot Camp classes!!! :) They have them M, W & F at 5:30 and 9am, then M, W & TH at 7pm! What do you have to loose??? Except maybe some inches!! :) Just a joke!!
Check this out! This is from yesterday! The sled with the weight is 75 lbs. Notice the wind!! :)
