Hello, Sunshine! I was so excited to have a whole new circuit this week. I’m good at waiting for surprises and I didn’t cheat and sneak a peek at what’s coming up this week until it was time to dominate it. Kayla Itsines’ Bikini Body Guide Week 5 challenged me on a whole new level and I was ready for it.
Bikini Body Guide Week 5
I decided to revert back to completing 3 sets of each circuit this week. I’m focusing on my form and making sure I’m completing each exercise to the best of my ability. My lower back was hurting last week and I don’t want to pull a muscle or need help to walk around the house. Being a 30-something comes with its challenges. 🙂
10 Mountain Climbers With 2 Push Ups
This is my nemesis for the week. 8 sets of 10 mountain climbers with 2 push ups kicks my butt. The first 4 are doable, but then I’m just a sweaty, panting mess with extremely sore wrists. This is what a mountain climber push up combo should look like. I’ll spare you from watching what mine looks like.
Mommy and Me
Lulu and I attend an hour long mommy and me dance class during the week. This is a fun way for me to get in L.I.S.S. training and enjoy a little ballet at the same time. I can do a mean sauté (jump) compared to the little girls in the class. Lulu loves her ballet class and I’m enjoying being able to participate in it with her. It’s a fun way to burn a few calories and make memories with her.
Progress Picture
Hopefully, I’ll have a progress picture next week. I’m still having difficulty finding a mirror that takes a decent selfie. I’ll look in the mirror and think I notice a transformation and then I snap a picture with my phone and it’s not flattering at all! Maybe I’ll force JD to take one of me.
