Wow! Power to me, baby!

Okay, so tonight  did Week #2 workout from the abschallenge.com (an updated versio of iwantsixpackabs.com workout).  It is awesome!  I had to change some supersets around because I went to the gym to do my workout and it was a bit crowded.  This burly older man was hogging the area around the pullup bar.

This was my workout  (30 seconds each exercise in each superset, 30 second rest between supersets):

Pushups (I believe I was doing approx. 20 in the time allotted) / Squat & Press (Initially used 15lbs, last set had to use 10lbs)

DB Bend over row (15 lbs)  / Hip bridge

Shoulder Press (15lbs) / Calf Raise

Negative Pullups (1 pullup, lower myself slowly in 10 sec) / Squat Jumps (24 in the allotted time – this one was a killer)

V-up Resistance abs / One-legged plank

After I did interval training on the elliptical machine which really didn’t work for me.  I think from now on, I will stick to sprints or jump roping.  During my supersets, I didn’t do the full 30 seconds because I was trying to do my workout in even half-minutes which didn’t allow me to fully utilize the 30 second intervals, so from now on, I will do each exercise for the full 30 seconds recommended.  Make sense?  Oh well.

I feel strong.  I am excited to do this again on Wednesday because I know my strength is building up.  I am uber-excited for the next couple of weeks because I cannot wait to see the progression of my strength and body.

My eating has been good, for the most part.  Yesterday was Mother’s Day and I must admit that I did indulge but not nearly as much as I would have in the past.  I am very proud of myself that I am controlling my appetite.  It is easier to control when I have a specific goal in mind.

Definitely by Onaona’s wedding, I will have six-pack abs!
