Today's Killer Workout

So, this morning I woke up in my hotel room in Green Bay, actually well rested for the first time in a while.  I felt so good that I decided to quickly grab a banana and some coffee and do this workout I tried a year ago when I was a little smaller.  Here's a link to it:

I am a subscriber of Zuzana's workouts.  I want to be able to do half the things she can.  She's a couple years older than me, but so fit!  She inspires me to keep up on my weight loss. 

Anyway, I'll bet you're wondering how I did.  Mind you I did all this in my hotel room at the Cambria Suites.
Here's my stats:
Just the workout 1-11 exercises took me about 36 mins.  40 mins in total with warmup and cool down.  I burnt 338 calories.  I actually did 550 reps!  I couldn't do that a year ago.  I'm so happy my body is getting stronger and hopefully soon it'll start looking leaner.

Warmup - walk in place and stretch for a few mins
1. Backward Lunge Kickup/25 reps each leg - Did them all with a little break in between.
2. Walkover Pushup/50 reps - So, I could only do 20 on my knees.  At the end of the workout, I went back and did 30 regular pushups on my knees so I could get in all my reps.
3. Mountain Climbers/50 reps - Had to break a few times.  Ouch!
4. Sumo squats with knee ups/50 reps - Had a mini break after 25.
5. 1 Leg bridge with leg lift/25 reps each leg - This one I couldn't keep the bridge up long.  I ended up doing all 50 reps with just a 1 leg lift.
6. Side to side squat & leg lift/50 reps - no sweat...well actually, lots of sweat...
7. 1 Arm tricep pushup/25 reps each arm - I had to switch arms every 10 reps...but I did them all
8. Star crunch/50 reps - Only a couple breaks.  I did them all!
9. Diagonal touch down/25 reps each side - This one was the easiest for me.  No breaks.
10. Side plank lift/25 reps each side - I had to do this on one knee.  Tough one for me.
11. One leg wall sit with leg lift/25 reps each leg - No problem.

All in all I did great.  I can't believe it didn't take me an hour!  Stay tuned for more progress.  Now I'm off to go shower and get ready for day 1 of the Northeast Wisconsin Truck Expo.
