Yaaahhoooo!!! I beat my previous time (34:50) by over 4 minutes! I was hoping for a good performance, and I felt good going in. I had two long, long days of travel on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I was hoping that wouldn't catch up with me midway through the workout. Thankfully it didn't and I was able to get through the 500 reps. My strategy was just to knock out as many reps as possible and then start breaking it up into sets. I was able to complete the box jumps and lunges without any breaks, pull-ups, kb, back extensions, push-press and wall ball I was able to get through 15-20 before breaking them up. As expected the knees to elbows and burpees were the most challenging. Coming off of the walking lunge my legs felt like they weighed about 500 lbs. as I was trying to get them up to my elbows. I was doing good to get 3-4 k to e at a time, and I think I got 5 burpess at a time. Knowing that I only had the jump rope left and Coach Laura and Jason cheering me on is what got me through those last burpees. Next goal - definitely sub 30 and hopefully in the 28:00 minute range!
I love seeing and feeling the progrees, and I have Coach Laura, Dr. Thea and Jason to thank for that, as well as everyone at the gym because they all make me push myself harder than I think I can go. I started a strict Zone a little over a week ago, and I feel wonderful. Knowing that I am only putting good, productive things into my body is a great feeling, and I can definitely see and feel the benefits in my body and my performance. I highly recommend it! I started out with 15 blocks a day but I reduced to 14, with half the carbs and double the fat on most meals and snacks.
