I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day and celebrated your mothers and yourselves (if you’re a mother) right. I saw this adorable video from the kid president and just had to share it:

Workout Recap
Monday – Off
Tuesday – 15 min run, 15 min elliptical, 15 min bike
Wednesday – Off
Thursday – 20 min run, cardio circuit experimentation
Friday – Staff vs. Student basketball game. I played 20 minutes and was sweating buckets.
Saturday – 10 min sprint (1.85 k), Arm Workout
Sunday – Off
On Friday, my school hosted a Relay For Life-type event. One of the activities was a Staff vs. Student basketball game. I love these kinds of things and always played in them at my school in Phoenix.
The game was kind of intense and a few teachers ended up with rolled ankles and irritated old knee injuries. Everyone was sweating a ton by the end.
I’m in the orange shirt and flipflops. I had totally forgotten about the game that morning!
But we won!
Once Rob got out onto the court, we were guaranteed to win. He is so tall that he just had to lift his arm to get the ball into the basket. It may not have been fair to the kids, but everyone had fun.
Weekly Challenge
This week I am bringing back the Weekly Challenge. It was on hiatus during April’s 6-Minute Bikini Body Challenge, but its time for a comeback.
Here are the moves in video or explanation if you’re not sure how to do them:
- Push Up Taps – Get in push up position. Touch your left should with your right hand and bring it back to the mat. Then, touch your right should with your left hand. The move should be quick.
- Leg Climbers
- Scissor Jacks – I usually cross my feet when I bring my arms in.
- Prisoner Get Ups
In case you’re interested, I updated the Workouts Page and the Weekly Challenges page today. Finally!

After my half on Saturday, I am going to start weight training! I am pretty excited!!! 🙂
I am so excited for your half! Make sure you give yourself a minimum of a week to recover.
Way to go teachers, winning that game! And that challenge looks scary intense lol. I… did not do well with my workouts this week. *hides*
It happens. I have definitely had those weeks.
Yay for the teachers!
My workouts are fly-by-the-seat-of-your-;pants.
I plan the week, but since I’m not officially training for anything I know I can stray from the plan. It’s kind of nice 🙂
I loved the challenge before… do you try to finish the # of reps for the week?
Yup! The goal is to complete the set number of reps by Sunday. It’s tough but a good challenge for the week.
It’s really nice when the official training stops after so long, isn’t it?
