FireCRACKIN' HOT!

It's gonna get hot by the fourth ladies and gentleman. And you have Michelle Berger, aka The Buffmother to thank for it. I've been a member of her Rally Room off and on for a few years now, and let me tell you, you'll never find anyone nicer, kinder, more determined, or motivated than she is. And she motivates others too which is one of the reasons I love her so much. If you've caught the SlimChick Solution infomercials, then you know who I'm talking about and all about the GENIUS that is Hormonal Timing ((more on that later)). So from the 4th of June until the 4th of July, we are in the middle of the Fire CRACKIN' Hot for the 4th contest. I'm loving this. I'm good with mini challenges. I kicked my butt doing the Count down to Memorial Day challenge. I dropped a few percent body fat as a matter of fact. I'll have to post the before and after pics on that one.

So here's the POA for today. ((poa is plan of action. I'm going to have to do a whole post on acronyms and such..haha)). I woke up this morning and did a Metabolic Circuit. Which kicked my booty and got me revved up and ready to go! I did a lower body circuit this afternoon with my resistance bands since everything else has been packed up by the movers, and let me tell you ladies, you can do a lot with bands. Don't have money for a gym, don't have a lot of room for equipment? no problem! Get yourself some bodylastics and you can really kick your butt with them. Even my husband gets a good workout with them.

So here's my circuit:
Squats 3x12

Calf Raises 3x10

Stationary Lunges 3x12

Deadlifts 3x15

adductors: 3x10

abductors: 3x10

kickbacks: 3x15

ham curls: 3x10

leg extensions: 3x10

bridges: 3x10



I did my abs on monday so I didn't do any of those today. I'm going bowling tonight too. What's really awesome is that all the work that I've done over the past few months, I've had to bump up from an 8lb ball to a 9lb ball! The 8 lb is just too light now! Talk about unexpected side affects!



The plan of action tomorrow is some cardio in the am, either some tae bo, some sprints or some kempo. Not sure yet because it depends on what mood I'm in and whether or not the hubbs can keep an eye on the kids while I run. The afternoon will involve an upperbody circuit targeting my arms, chest and back. And lots of anticipation because on saturday we leave for cologne and UFC 99!



And here's a fun question for you, those of you who have been to a UFC fight before, what's standard dress code?? I hate looking out of place...
