Some goals reached so far...

It's been a little quiet on the blogfront lately! I am week 3 into the 12WBT and not finding I am having a lot of time apart from sleep, work, kids, exercise! I have been taking a few pictures along the way.

First up, just finished up my 6 week fun run goal and YES 6 runs in 6 weeks! My first run I completed 5kms in 33 mins 6 seconds. 4 weeks later I did another 5km in 30 mins 5 seconds. On Sunday just gone, I did my 3rd 5km run and did it in 28 mins 22 seconds! Very happy with that.

I can now do a somewhat dodgy toe pushup! And leg raises...well dodgy ones still

Let's move on to some Boxing

Someone posted on the FB group for 12WBT in my local area for a 1 hour boxing class down at my local rec centre. I need to work on core strength and my upper body (hello arm muscles I know you are hiding in there somewhere). So I took myself down there last week and LIKED it! Like yes. It was really hard work. I can run a little bit now, but pair me with a skipping rope and it's a bit of a disaster! The first half of the class is a combination of warm up exercises, some sit ups and some leg lift manoeuvre that totally had me baffled, and when told that it is something I do to work my stomach muscles, I go ah huh, which stomach muscles? AWOL since high school at least! Then the last half we get to practice punching bags, tackle the gym equipment and take a turn in the ring with one of the instructors. It felt daunting the first couple of times but at $2 an hourly session, I am thinking bargain, and great workout. I can't wait to find out how many calories I will burn once I get my HRM.

So I have a couple of small goals I want to achieve with boxing class!

1 - Do 1 proper push up. Starting small here LOL!
2 - Do 30 full sit ups (not the stomach crunches, the normal ones)
3 - Plank for 30 seconds
4 - Do the leg raising exercises  without my feet touching the ground.

I will check back in as I complete the above!
