Today's workout comes courtesy of the Fitnessista -- it's the week 2 workout in her 'Winter Shape Up 2013' series. Yes, I did the week three last week and now I'm doing week 2 so I'm really the most terrible plan follower of all time, but I'm over it. Anyway, this workout is completed by doing the exercises one after the other without rest, then take a minute to catch your breath, and repeat. Then do it a third time.
-'180 Squat Jumps' - Squat jumps with a 180 degree turn. Reverse direction with every jump-- should never complete a full circle.
-'Side Plank Combo' - Start in a T-plank, bring top arm down into chest, turn body into regular plank-ish position, reach under/across body ("threading the needle" motion). Reverse back into T-plank, then bring top arm down side toward thigh while raising top leg, reverse back into T-plank.
It was suggested that I do a 15 minute HIIT workout after this was done, so I did. Original plan was to row, but they were both taken by the time I got over there so I did the bike instead.

Oof -- probably should have stretched, my quads are killing me! Not to the point where stairs are impossible, but they're definitely uncomfortable. I'll likely have to scale back what I was planning on doing today because I went too hard yesterday. Whoops. This is why I try to put the hard stuff at the END of the week so I have the weekend to recuperate. Guess I got a little overzealous. Oh well. I would definitely do this workout again, possibly with a heavier kettlebell. And I have no idea why I planned to do 10 lunges right and 12 left... counting fail.
