50 Burpees – OH My

Posted on by keepingupwithkate91

I’m so happy – I completed 50 Burpees tonight at BodyProject Fitness and Lifestyle (http://www.bodyprojectfitness.com).   I haven’t been a huge fan of Burpees – ever – but I do have say I like this new burpee (for me less risk of hurting myself as I can be a klutz sometime).  Here is the link – try it out:  http://goo.gl/fZB0D (shhh – don’t tell anyone – starting to like them a little)

 It was such a great workout tonight.  20 minutes and pushing myself (everyone did) with heavier weights – 12, 15 and 20 lbs for me tonight.  I completed 4 rounds – and started my 5th round so I did get the 50 burpees in (did I mention that?)!

  • Burpee​ ​10 reps
  • Bicep Curls – ​5 reps – 15 lbs
  • 1/2 turkish getup – ​5 each – 12 lbs (I did try one round with 15)
  • OH Press w/ one foot – ​5 each – 12 lbs
  • Plie w/calf raise – ​5 – 20 lb kettlebell
  • Tricep  Single Arm Crusher​ – 5 each arm – 12 lbs (this is the one where you are lying down on your mat)
  • Fast Run in Place – ​10 each leg
  • Single arm Back Row​ – 5 reps each – 20 lb kettlebell
  • Running Lunge  -5 each leg

This will be one I’ll take with me when I travel – one you can do in the hotel gym in a short period of time and get a nice good sweat going.  Enjoy!!

HodgePodge – Highlights of the Week

Posted on by keepingupwithkate91

I know it is has been awhile. I seem to go in spurts with my posts. I’ll try to do better this month.  So the month of Juneuary (if you are on the East Coast you will understand the meaning) is over. I wonder what February will bring?

February is a busy month for me as I have a big kick-off meeting in Chicago (so my postings could be even more sporadic)…apologies in advance.  Here are my HodgePodge of Highlights for the week.

I finally had a chance to activate my i-Phone 4S on Sunday.  Love it!  I’m a big fan of SIRI…well not as much as Raj on The Big Bang Theory…but she is pretty awesome.  I love being able to ask her the weather, make a call, put something on my calendar or just play music.  I’ve loaded some new apps that I didn’t have on my Android phone.

Sleep Cycle – view my results from last night…very interesting.  Can’t wait to see my results from tonight.  I think this was $0.99. I also loaded Cocktail Flow (Free).  I can’t wait to try it.  You can look up drinks by base drink, type or color.  And there are options for $0.99 for specific occasions – SuperBowl, Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day.

I won two one on one personal yoga sessions via silent auction back in December.  I have my first session tomorrow morning.  I decided to download the Yoga Free app that was recommended by Shape magazine.

I’ve downloaded some others, but I will save them for another time – after I’ve tried them to see if they stay on my phone.  What are your favorite apps that I should try?

I finally went back to Bootcamp this week – Wednesday to be exact.  Been in a funk since around the holidays.  More on that later in a different post.  Happy to be back and good.

The final highlight of my week and probably the best – I got carded at Houlihan’s (Rt 1 South in Edison – my new fav 🙂 ) at the bar Thursday night.  Wahoo!!

Have a fantastic weekend!
