Legs Bums and Tums class after work. Man alive, was it tough! The instructor is pregnant and as she's gotten bigger she's not able to do so much... so she just demonstrates the move and leaves us to it for parts of it... which means she doesn't get so tired out... which means we all get pretty sweaty and knackered!
There was lots of bottom ouchiness, and lots of leg ouchines... and come to think of it a lot of tum ouchiness as well! Felt good though!

Legs Bums & Tums tonight, and man alive did it ever hurt. It seems to be getting more and more evil as the weeks go on! Not sure what that's about! There was lots of abs work this week as well.

I had a later start at work this morning so I decided to go for a run - but from the gym, so that I could walk there first and warm my legs up a bit.
Having looked at the route on Map My Run, I only did 4.26km, but it bloody hurt after Pump last night! I really don't think I'm cut out for running at all. It took me about half an hour.
When I got back to the gym I still had some time over, so I did some cardio on the machines...
Stepper - interval program, 10 minutes level 6
Cross trainer - 1-minute sprint intervals, 6 minutes level 5
Then this evening I went back to the gym to do Legs Bums and Tums, which actually hurt so much I was almost sick! Seriously. There was way more leg work than abs, though the abs stuff at the end was pretty hardcore.
I have a PT session tomorrow, I've a nasty feeling it's been 6 weeks since my last weigh-in, and she's going to measure me and find that I've made no progress at all. Fingers crossed for some sort of major weight loss over night!

Had real issues motivating myself this morning, in the end I didn't get out of the house until 1pm. I went for a run, about 5k. It took me about 35-40 minutes because it was really hot and... well I'm just lazy and out of practise with the running! That was the first proper run I'd been on since probably about June.
In the evening I went to the gym to do Legs Bums and Tums. I was early, so before heading down to the studio I did:
Stepper, interval program 10 minutes level 6
The usual instructor was off last week, and I was disappointed in the class - it was more like aerobics and not very challenging. When this week's class began I thought the same... for the first 2 minutes! Then my legs started to wail in pain! The usual instructor was back and it bloody hurt! She teaches Body Balance too, and seems to have incorporated some of those moves into this class. Such as standing on one leg, on a step, with your arms in the air, bending over forwards, bending the standing leg... and then doing a series of one-legged squats to tap the lifted toe onto the floor. The whole class hurt, I've a feeling I'll know about it in the morning!
Believe it or not, that's a good thing!

Start as you mean to go on. In pain and hobbling.
Gym before work this morning, and I thought, well, why not just go ahead and do my program again! Honestly, I've been doing this one to death.
Overhead squats x 10
Overhead lunges x 10 (each side)
Overhead side lunges x 10 (each side)
Windmills
Ball balance with intermitent hand lifting (when I was feeling brave)
Marching Plank
Single leg bench squat 2x10kg x 12 (each side)
Sprint touch back 2x5kg x 20 (each side)
3 sets
Lunge & floor touch with scaption 2x4kg x 12 (each side)
Wall squat shoulder press 2x4kg x 12
3 sets
Reverse BOSU press up x 6
Alternating dead row 2x8kg x 20
3 sets
Plank step ups x 12 (6 each side)
Stability ball crunch with arms up x 12
4 sets
I increased my weights for the Bulgarian squats and sprint touch-backs, but by the time I got to the reverse BOSU press-ups I was flagging, so I halved the sets.
I did an extra set of abs as well, as I had time to spare. I was still half an hour early for work as well!!
After work I finally managed to book in for Legs Bums & Tums. I've not done the class for ages, and the usual instructor wasn't there. In the first five minutes I was actually tempted to sneak out the door as it seemed a bit of a waste of time, but then we started doing squats with leg lifts and all sorts of painful stuff. I think I'll feel it tomorrow!
Am meant to see my PT in the morning, but she's been ill so I don't know if I will. I'll go to the gym any way as I need to keep the momentum. Am toying with the idea of Body Pump after work as well.
