Last night the weather held up, so I headed to class in the park. We did a good 40 minutes of different planks, Tabata style. If you're not sure what that is, check it out HERE. We would work for 20 seconds, rest 10, 8 reps of each exercise. It sounds easy but it's NOT. Plus, it was extremely muggy outside last night so I was dripping. We also did about 10 minutes of squats and some ab stuff, plus I did the "300" ab series at home.
I'm pretty frustrated with my belly lately. Although I'm wearing a smaller size now, it's still flabby and feels bloated. Bleh...It must be the hardest thing to tone. I feel good about my legs though, so that's a plus.
I'm signed up for a 10K American Cancer Society GWB challenge this coming Sunday. Last year I almost had an anxiety attack when we got on to the GWB. Either my fear of heights kicked in or since it was my first race, I was anxious. I think I'll be ok this time. I'm most likely switching to the 5K. My hip/lower back is still bothering me (more so today from dancing over the weekend plus the workout last night). I can always walk it, but it's just not the same.
If you're interested, here's a Tabata Workout.
