Day 47: Workout (90 Day Challenge)

So I made it up and out of bed by 6:45 this morning to go to a special Saturday workout for the 90 Day Challenge.

It was already completely sunny and hot by the time I pulled up to the park at 7:30. There was a slight breeze but, I swear, by the time we started running, the breeze disappeared and didn't come back again until we were stretching at the end (which was an awesome gift of God because I felt like my body was cooking from the inside and from the outside I was so hot!)

We did a 2 mile run today, burning our legs out along the way. We kept our cardio going with:

• a million lunges- ok, not a million, but a ton
• butt kicks
• karaokes 
• high kicks
• knees up
• etc

But the hardest (ha, I almost wrote "worst") part of our workout was this stupid high, steep, grass hill over by the ice rink. My gosh, it seemed like it went on forever. We ran to the top and back down four times (taking a break between each...I really honestly can't say I could have done two times without stopping). My legs AND lungs were burning.

We also did:

• tricep dips (x2)
• bicep curls
• rows
• pushes
• oblique twists
• pushups 
• diamond push ups
• elevated crunches
• elevated side crunches
• reverse plank
• plank
• etc. 

This was one of the most challenging workouts I've ever had at boot camp. All around something that pushed my limits in both cardio and strength. My heart pounded the entire time, never coming back down to a resting heart rate. Hope the cardio burn was worth it!!
