300 Rep Workout

I did Zuzanna’s 300 Rep Workout today:

50 Prisoner Jump lunges

50 1-leg push ups

50 half squat pulses

50 alternating frog jumps (or whatever they’re called)

50 get ups

50 1 arm press ups

Here are the modifications I made

• used a 15lb kettle bell during the half squat pulses
• I did prisoner get ups with just my body weight (unlike Zuzanna’s Turkish get ups with a 35lb sand bag)
• The one-arm press ups were done without the press from the ground. What I did was lay with my hips, legs and toes on the ground while propping myself up with one hand. Then I lifted my hips from the ground, forming an upside-down “V” with my body. My arms were burning way too much to do the press up portion.

The most important part… my time. It was 13:33:63.

Run, Run, Run!

So I’ve been doing a lot of running for the past couple of weeks, since I’ve gotten over treadmill vertigo finally.  I’m averaging 11 minutes per mile. I’d like to be faster, so that means I’ll have to start working on my sprints again (which I haven’t done in a while), and start increasing my squat (which I’ve been doing at 95lbs).

I guess leg days should now involve heavy squats and sprints.

Woopah!

100 Burpees again

This time I did REAL burpees, with the push up and and overhead clap on the jump.

My time was 17:08. So about 4 minutes more than my first attempt. I’m going to take this as a more accurate score since I used proper form this time around.

After about 40, my delts were on fire. Fire I tell you.

Crazy shit I want to do in the next 10 years

1. Compete in a figure/physique competition
2. Run a 1/2 or full marathon
3. Get Can-Fit-Pro certified
4. Get a PhD in religious studies (*bangs head on desk*)
5. Own a dog… a very large one.
6. Write a book

My Fitness Inspiration

So, it’s the weekend and I’m eating a chunk of white bread and butter and a bowl of white pasta in creamy sauce with bacon chunks. YEAH! I thought that this would be the perfect time for me to make one of my fitness inspirations known:

Kortney “KO” Olsen

Hard as fuck! (as she always says)

5k-ish?

I lost count of the number of laps I ran around the Queen’s rugby field; but I’m thinking it’s between 8 and 10. It took me 20 minutes.

Note to self: do not run in the midday heat ever again: 30c  with humidity.

Unless you feel like being hardcore.
