Wokout 1

So I have decided I need somewhere to record my exercise efforts, times, calories, rounds etc.  I am a regular exerciser and consider myself quite fit but need to step it up so why not keep myself honest and record it all in a blog for the world to potentially see?

Decided to start the ZWOW exercises today. Have been inspired by these exercise videos for a while but haven't had the guts to give them a crack.  There's no time like the present right? Every week Zuzana does bodyweight exercises which seem really tough!

Today I did ZWOD #1 which is:
  • dive bombers x 10
  • burpees x 5
  • squat leg lift x 20/leg
  • burpees x 5
  • side plans lift x 10/side
  • burpees x 5
  • pistol squat x 10/leg
  • burpees x 5
3 rounds as fast as possible.

As I have no upper body or core or for that matter leg (!!) strength the dive bombers were done on my knees, the side plank lifts on my elbows and I did single leg squats.

However I did complete the workout in 23:18 and burned 207 calories.  Not bad for someone recovering from gastro.

Until the next time...
