Step it up!;)

Wow!  It's been a long time since I've posted on here!
Sorry about that!  After E.R. visits, a broken arm, an extraction from my son's nose, school starting, evaluations, and a volleyball league I've put this on the back burner!!

Hope everyone is happy and healthy.  I have Tough Mudder this weekend and am very excited/anxious !!  After I'm done with that this Sunday, I start another 90 day challenge on October 12th for myself, which I will be blogging about my progress and other's progress that decide to do it with me!

My 90 day challenge goal will be to lose 4% body fat, lose 5lbs of fat, and gain 1-2 lbs of muscle.  It will be challenging, that's for sure!!

I feel as if I OWE some of you an amazing workout to try out, so here it goes:).  (This will be similar to one I've posted before but the exercises and weights will be different).

Grab a stepmill.
Grab 2 25lb plates, 2 10lb plates, and a 40lb dumbbell.

Do body weight walking lunges and squats to warm-up 30-40 of each.

Hop on stepmill and get it going to about 80 steps per min.  Go at this pace for 5 min.
Pause the stepmill and hop off and grab your 25lb plates.  Do walking lunges for 1 minute.

Get back on stepmill for another 5 min.  This 5 min. will be interval training, 1 minute super fast at speed 95 and up, then bring it down for a minute to about 70.  Repeat for 5-6 minutes.
Hop off stepmill and grab 2 10lb plates.  Kick one leg up on a bench behind you and do bulgarian split squats 30 seconds each leg.

Get back on the stepmill WITH your 10lb plates.  Go at a speed about 65, trying to hold your weights for the whole 5 minutes.  (If you have to drop them for a minute, just set them on the stepmill, catch your breath, and then continue with the weights).
Drop the 10lb plates and hop off.  Grab your 40lb dumbbell and do plie squats for about a minute (these will burn quickly).

Hop back on stepmill and do another interval set for 5 minutes
Get off and grab a 25lb plate and do 20-25 reps of squat to press with the plate.

Stepmill again for 5min at speed 75 or 80
Off and grab a 10lb plate.  While doing walking lunges, pass the weight between your legs switching hands as you walk.

REPEAT THIS WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN FOR A TOTAL OF 50-55 MINUTES.

My legs were Tapped after this, but felt accomplished!!

Enjoy!
