This week is my 7th week of my fitness journey and based on the less than stellar 6th week that I had, I decided to amp up my work out routine. I have yet to try any workout that required over 500 reps. Even the Sexy Shape Shifter Workout that I did, was only about 320 reps. However since I practically shaved off 10 mins from my personal best time doing that routine, I decided that I was ready to try something more challenging.

And challenging it was! The routine consists of 11 exercises, each with 50 reps. Time yourself on your stopwatch to see your best time in completing this workout.

Backward Lunge Kick Up - 25 reps on each leg
Walk Over Push Ups (on knees) - 50 reps
Mountain Climbers - 50 reps
Sumo Squats Knee Up- 50 reps
One Leg Bridge Leg Lift - 25 reps on each leg
Side to Side Squat Leg Lift- 50 reps
One Arm Tricep Push Up - 25 reps on each arm
Star Crunch - 50 reps
Diagonal Touch Down - 25 reps on each side
Side Plank Lift - 25 reps on each side
One Leg Wall Sit - 25 reps on each leg

I had the most trouble with the "walk over push ups". I tried it with a straight leg walk over but after the 10th push up, I went back to doing a walk over push up on the knees instead. By the time I was done with it, I was already capped at 7+ minutes and my heart rate was soaring.

The rest of the exercises were easier to do, although it was definitely TIRING and by the time I did the One Arm Tricep Push Up, I just wanted to lie down and stay like that until tomorrow. Anyways, my best time for this workout is:

29th November 2010 - 37mins 48 secs
3rd December 2010 - 30 mins 42 secs

If only I didn't have a heavy lunch, I'm sure I would have fared much better. So for now, my eating really has to get under control. It's still a struggle for me considering my undying love for food. However, I'm trying. Even though I don't see much difference in my weight loss/fat loss, my sister begs to differ. So there is something I'm doing right! :)
