You get what you work for.

So it's been almost a month since I overhauled my page and decided to use this as my health and fitness blog. Again proving that I very aptly named this "The Wrong Way" as I have not written since I changed it.

Just to update, I started a calendar where I write down my daily workout. I was also doing a food log on dailyburn.com but it turned out to be a pain in this and more effort than it was worth so I may try to just keep track of my eating habits on here (doubtful but only time will tell).

I haven't been running as much as I wanted to but I have been running some. Unfortunately my knee doesn't like it when I run too often so I can only do it a couple times a week and I can't really go for too long. Some is definitely better than none and I think my knee is getting stronger so hopefully I will be able to continue adding time to my runs.

That's it for the disappointing stuff, other than that, I have been doing really well. I had one week where I didn't do much but other than that I have been working out every weekday, even sometimes on weekends and I am really feeling great. So I just found this found this website through Pinterest called bodyrock.tv and they have a 30 day challenge that I am about to start today.

The first thing you need to do for it is take a "fit test" to see what you can get done already. (Here's hoping I don't start out at the bottom of the barrel) What you do is do as many of the exercise as you can in 50 secs then rest for 10 seconds then move on to the next exercise for 50 seconds, rest for 10 move on, etc.. There are seven exercises to test.

Here are my results:
Squat Jumps: 20
Push-ups: 20
Burpees: 8
High Knees: 115
Switch Lunges: 25
Tuck Jumps: 10
Straight Abs (aka sit ups): 30

You can clearly see the spots where I got tired.  That being said, not too shabby, definite and obvious room for improvement though.  Doing interval timing like that is hard, I am wiped right now. I'm very glad to have found this. And I just discovered that I did in fact do the wrong Fit Test because that was for the program back in January. Whoops, no surprise there though ha. Take 2: The May 30 Day Challenge. I made sure I am on the right page and doing the right fit test. I'm doing the beginner one today because I already did a fit test so I'm a little tired but I may move up to intermediate fairly quickly (I hope). For the correct fit test it's still in intervals of 50/10 but you do three rounds of each exercise and there are only four exercises which is nice. They are supposed to be Squats, push ups, tricep dips and sit ups but I am going to do bicycles instead of sit ups because sit up make my spine hurt. Also I went with reps instead of intervals on everything except bicycles.

Here's how I did:

Squats: R1-15 R2-15 R3-15
Push ups: R1-5 R2-5 R3-10
Tricep dips: R1-12 R2-12 R3-12
Bicycles: I1-80 I2-72 I3-80

And now I am beat haha. Onto the Bodyrock Flow Fit Test, which is basically just yoga which I already do everyday anyway.
Downward dog- no problem, my heels come up a tiny bit.
Pidgeon- easy peasy, I can lean all the way forward and keep both hips down
Dangling- basicall a forard bend, again, no problem
Standing Back Bend- Not as easy, this will be the one to work on.

So that was today, and I really will try to update more often, for myself, this serves as great motivation.
