UFC-DAY 16

Week 3 workout

changes to workout include

• Underhand pulldown 3 sets of 15
• Step Ups 3 sets of 15 each leg.
• Band Skiers-increased to 3 sets of 30, but intensity ups
• He decreased the Stability Ball Bridges to 3 sets of 15 secs…and added Stability Ball Rollouts 3 sets of 10 reps….

We dont really care for this move as it(so far) has caused lower back pain. We only did 2 or 3 of them, because of poor form I am sure. We did have someone show us how to do it first. When I would try to rollout the ball, my lower back would dip causing discomfort when I would try to roll it back. I guess we will need to ask our trainer about those, because they just aren’t working for us.

In addition to those changes, I did 45 push ups, 60 squats, and 45 overhead presses.

Our CONDITIONING portion was increased to 30 minutes at 3.5 speed, 3.0 incline. I did MAX 3.2 speed at 3.0 incline and burned 217 calories and walked 1.67 miles.

My workouts are burning around 800 calories per hour easily according to my calorie counting watch function. These are great workouts. They really push our muscles.

After our workout, we had our protein drink, and I added some antioxidant rich raspberries to it. It gave it a nice kick!

For dinner:

• 3 fish sticks
• small portion of fries
• steamed zuchini

I also had a small banana pre-workout. I have heard it is good to have fruit right before a workout for quick energy, but I am finding it tends to make me feel sick mid workout. I am going to just stick to drinking a lot of water, perhaps if it is a citrus fruit it wouldn’t make me sick. Something I will have to experiment with!

**Breaking NEWS**

I may be able to get Scott to try a Zumba class with me on one of our off days from our UFC workout. Perhaps Thursday. I will keep you posted how it goes. Below is a video showing  what a Zumba class is like. I have been to one, SUPER FUN! And no you dont need to be very coordinated. Everyone was laughing and having fun!
