FITAPPY – Lift and Jump | Workouts & Fun!

This time Monday wasn’t that intense

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

As I stated a few days ago I will be taking all my workouts easy this week. On the other hand, I still want to get something done, therefore today I simply brought intensity down.

I started my routine with my old high knees challenge (remember that?). In case your don’t, I did three 30 seconds rounds of high knees as high and as fast as possible, and I counted them. I took 15 seconds break between each round. My results are as follows: 1st round:110, 2nd: 102, 3rd: 93. Total 305. In addition, I ended my workout with a following circuit:

1. Jump rope – 2 minutes
Lunges – 10 reps on each leg + weights
10 push ups & 30 sec. mountain climbers
2. Wood chops -20 reps +weights
10 Squats with weights + 10 pulses

I will be going skiing!! :)

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

Finally, after busy winter with no time for breaks, I finally managed to plan my next trip! It will happen a day after I come back from New York. I’m going to Tahoe. Therefore, I will begin my pre-skiing exercises. I still have to train for my karate event but every few days I will be executing my pre-skiing routine. Here is a video I shot some time ago, which includes some preparation exercises. That’s my exercise for today 🙂

Getting ready for my trip to New York :)

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

I’m leaving to New York next Wednesday for my karate event. From now on I will be taking my workout very easy because I don’t want to injure myself, pull any muscles and overwork in general. So today’s workout was very short and super easy 🙂

Round 1
1. Jumping Rope – 1 min
2. Biceps curls – 15 reps
3. One leg standing kickbacks – 15 on each leg
Round 2
1. Mountain Climbers – 30 sec
2. Shoulder press – 15 reps
3. 20 Crunches
Round 3
1. Jumping Jacks – 30 sec
2. Triceps kickbacks – 15 reps
3. Plank – hold for 45 sec.

I hope I will manage to shoot another video before I depart.

Walking, sightseeing and ABS

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

My friends are in town visiting from Arizona so today I had a great opportunity to spent the entire afternoon walking in Santa Monica and by the ocean front. Really, I spent long hours on my feet. I had a very busy morning, therefore I was unable to work out. However, this afternoon activities compensated for no-exercises morning.

In the evening, I managed to do one abs segment – that would be my standard 100 crunches, a round of wood chops and crunches on a ball. Short but just enough to end that day.

Another Monday Madness

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

I’m beginning to think I hate Mondays. For weeks, I have been welcoming new weeks with gallons of sweat. Today wasn’t any different. But I do like that intensity in the morning. It totally wakes me up and energizes the rest of the day, or even the rest of the week. After I finished all 3 rounds I ran a little over 2 miles (about 25 min). So here is my sequence & results for today:

ROUNDS	1	2	3
ROPE SKIPS (2MIN)	294	247	278
ABS (with a BALL -2min)	58	68	64
PUSH UPS (TRAVEL. 1min)	25	27	30
DEAD LIFTS – 1min	23	24	28
DOUBLE ROWS – 1min	31	35	30
FRONT KICKS (RIGHT/LEFT)	62	73	61
ROUND KICK R. -1MIN	25	27	25
ROUND KICK L. -1MIN	29	31	30

Butt & leg shaper workout

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

I didn’t do any cardio this weekend. It’s been raining like crazy the whole day and weather forecast doesn’t promise anything better for this upcoming week. Therefore, I’m forced to exercise indoor. I’ll have to change my next workout video so I can film it inside.

Today I focused only on my butt and legs and here is what I did:

1. Step ups with weights – 20 reps on each leg
2. Jump squats – 30 sec
3. One leg kickbacks – 20 on each leg
4. Forward lunges – 15 reps on each leg
5. Plie squats – 30 sec
6. Fire hydrants – 30 sec on each leg.

~ Repeat ~

Weight Bar Workout in front of TV

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

I constructed a weight bar today! I purchases a bar, which by itself was 10 lbs and I added 14 extra pounds (7 on each side). For about 15 minutes I did squats, lunges, walking lunges, dead lifts, and twists. I’ll tell you one thing: my ass is on fire! It just hurts bad. I can barely sit on it. I had to do a lot of walking today too so I felt it a lot. I have to come up with a better plan because this routine is a killer! Also, I watched the news about Japan and nuclear threat; therefore I wasn’t keeping track of what I did. Clearly, I won’t be negligent any time soon.

I finished working on my video and it’s uploading. Please step by tomorrow to see it.

Muscle soreness

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Wolverine Lily

My back is in pain! I’ve been trying to figure out why?! The only valid explanation is that I did 2 sets of my latest cardio workout; total 16 minutes, including 8 min of jump rope and 8 minutes of squats and wood chops. My guess is that 4 min of wood chops and that heavy weight I used are responsible for my condition. Great, that means my exercise is working. I knew it’s gonna be a great workout!! Check out yesterday’s video and try it out.

Anyway, today I focused primarily on my abs, and some cardio. Here is the cardio portion: I did 6 rounds. Each round included 30 sec. of jumping jacks and 30 sec of mountain climbers. Then I did 3 of my favorite abs segments. 🙂 🙂 I plan to put a video of that some time soon. I will let you know how my abs will feel tomorrow 🙂 In addition I shot another workout that I will start editing tomorrow. It’s also very good. Step by soon to see it.
