Marathons still scare me.P90Xseems a little insane.
Boxing is a bit intimidating.
So, here I am.
The questions remain: Will I collapse?
Will I give up?
Will I barf like aBiggest Losercontestant?
She had me at “quick.”
Once I read through the instructions and began, though, it wasn’t as bad as I expected.
In fact, my experience with Jennifer Galardi’sLose 8lbs yoga/dance workouthelped me out.
Some of the moves were similar.
I have to give it up to all the cheerleaders out there – Burpees will kill you!
(I was dealing with a 5lb dumbbell and I should probably have had a 10lb.)
For me, thejumpback into push-up quickly became by far the hardest.
Last came core toning Butterfly Sit-Ups, which I kind of liked.
The instructions said to do “AMRAP” – um, come again?
Apparently, that stands for “as many rounds as possible.”
In 10 minutes, I made it through the rotation 3 times with one extra set up Deadlifts.
Apparently, as time goes on, you fit more and more in.
Day 2:

WOD#2:
This workout is all about tightening the bum and that always spells hard work.
Now, anyone who has ever done a squat hardly needs my insight to know that they’re killers.
The first time around, I get through the whole thing in about 2.5 minutes.
Then things start to slow down.
I need some breaks between squat sets.
After all, I am doing 90 of them!!!
And I’m pretty sure that mybuttand thighs will be hurting a bit tomorrow.
Even better news: The workout only lasts 7 minutes!
It really is key to engage those abs – otherwise you just go noodle at the waist.
But really how much can you complain about 7 minutes?
Well, if you’re me, sort of a lot.
But it seems to work and that’s what’s important.
