Kettlebells with Bob Harper on Sunday had me hurting on
Monday morning, but I got up (late) and went for my first run in seven long
days. I followed the three mile route and had to walk three times. Yes…three
times (hanging head in shame), BUT (lots of emphasis on that BUT) my average
time per mile improved. What? Yup…my pace was faster with three walking spurts.
Yah…I run/jog/wog/whatever it is I do really sloooooooowly. Embarrassingly
slowly. The good news? I’m still lapping everyone sitting on the couch!
The same is true for each of us, ladies. Yes, Insanity Crew,
I’m talking to you. We may look a hot mess while we’re doing it. We may moan
and groan and have to stop a million times before Shawn gives us a water break
(or rewards us by taking his shirt off), but we show up. We sweat and we push
and we work!
I’m so proud of each of us. Yes, I’m including myself in
that statement. Do you realize that we are on our fifth week together? Five
weeks and we’re still going strong! We made a commitment to ourselves and each
other and have stuck with it. Kudos! And thank you for keeping me going. You
don’t know how many times I have started these workouts, and with no one else
to see me, I made it five minutes, ten minutes, or maybe only through the
warm-up before I decided to call it quits. It happened a LOT. And now, thanks
to you, I’ve stuck with it for five weeks (and doing more than just the warm
ups).
OK, enough of the
reflection. Let’s get to the nitty gritty:
WEDNESDAY WORKDAY
Your homework assignment? Embrace the
boob tube!
That’s right…watch a little television. Get caught up on all
those shows you have DVR’ed. Find a marathon of reruns and plant yourself in
front of the television. Turn it on at work if you can (you should probably
still do your work though). Squeeze as much TV time into your day as you can.
Sound too easy to be your assignment? That’s because it is.
You have work to do!
For every commercial that comes on,
complete the associated task for the duration of the commercial.
Car Commercials – jog in place
Food/Restaurant Commercials – jumping jacks
Travel Commercials – pulse squats (hold a low squat position
and barely pulse up and down)
Television Show Commercials – butt kicks (ugh!)
Movie Trailer – high knees
Health/Beauty Commercials – hold a plank (high or low)
Fitness Commercials – exercise of your choice
Miscellaneous Commercials (don’t fit a category) – push-ups
No fast forwarding or skipping the
commercials!
It’s time to whip your inner couch
potato into a HOT FRY!
