Week two, Workout #6

Friday! Must mean ladder work.

Today was another good day. We worked on Plyometrics and strength. Warm up was good and normal except we skipped rope instead of running.

We started with lunges and other static core work and then went to the ladder. We went through many variations of working through the ladder but instead of jogging back to the start or back tracking through we would do jump squats back to the start then do push ups. Three cycles of each ladder step; I think we did 4 sets with 3 cycles each. After kicking my butt through that we did arm over head stationary squats then right into rubber band squats with a military press. Thereafter, I did normal push ups then speed presses with the rubber band. Lastly we went into core/oblique work with the rubber band.

Good, hard, fun workout.

Eating is still really good and I've added a mid-morning snack which rounds to three meals and two snacks. Weight loss this week should be interesting. Like the Biggest Loser show, it is known that week two is a tough week to lose weight. I am at that point this week. Everything is going great but I am not losing like last week. This, of course, makes it hard from a motivation stand point but I know I am dedicated and doing the right thing so I'll push through. We'll see what Monday's weigh-in brings.

Until then...
