Fit Miss TV

These past couple of weeks have been chaotic - and I am starting to see that I just need to get used to the fact that chaotic is just the way life is going to be for the next couple of years until I graduate. Some really fun news though: as most of you probably know, Indianapolis hosted this year's Super Bowl and IT WAS SUCH A BLAST! We went downtown to do the NFL Experience in the Convention Center (which was lame and we will not do it again) and the people were amazing. Indiana has a reputation for having this great Hoosier hospitality, but I really enjoyed talking to the visitors. Everyone was in a great mood and the atmosphere was incredible; we met people from New York, Massachusetts, Washington state, Florida, California... just all over! Dan wore his Tom Brady - and the Patriots are our BITTER ENEMIES! - so he did get some heckles, and I proudly wore my Colts shirt and gave high-fives to everyone that made fun of my husband... just like a good wife should. ;-) We saw some famous people which never happens here in Indiana... well, I guess we do see some athletes, but most notably we passed Chris Evans on the sidewalk - Chris Evans plays Captain America and Johnny Storm in Fantastic 4. I don't get all googly-eyed over movie starts, but I have to say that Chris Evans is BEAUTIFUL in real life - I mean STUNNING. His eyes are so brilliantly bright... and this is exactly the part where Daniel started making fun of him and rolling his eyes at me. LOL, jealous much? :p I hope you enjoy the pictures I posted below the workout, the entire city was so proud to be able to host one of the biggest events in sports.

I made sure that I did a really good and thorough warm-up before I did this workout because I haven't done a workout this intense for a really long time. I did some Turkish get-ups and ran through the circuit one time through with light weights and moderate effort to make sure that everything was warm and loose. I had to name this workout Fat Terminator because it is an incredible interval workout and it worked me over BIG TIME! I had a tough time getting through the final Tabata, and the only reason why I could finish it is because I knew that the intervals were short and I only had to do each exercise TWO TIME ONLY! I put my reps during the workout next to the exercises.

1. Workout:
2. timer set for :20/:40 x 23 rounds

• Double Kettlebell Snatch w/ 2x 8kg (16, 17, 18, 16)
• Mountain Climbers (46, 43, 44, 32)
• Goblet Squats w/ heavy weight(16, 15, 14, 15)
• Burpees (10, 10, 10, 9)

• rest (YAAAAY!!! this was much needed)

1. Cash Out:
2. Tabata, timer set for :10/:20 x 8 rounds
3. repeat each exercise twice in a row

• Single Snatch, left then right w/ 12kg (9, 10)
• Mountain Climbers (34, 21)
• Burpees (5, 4)
• Skipping Rope

And IT'S DONE!!! Less than 30 minutes, but it is soooo intense! I had a hard time catching my breath during the workout, but I love knowing that workouts like this increase your aerobic capacity and make your body more efficient at utilizing oxygen and burning fat. :D

Please let me know how you did with this workout - especially if you beat me! If you need any help with modifications, I will do what I can to help but it really is best to see a personal trainer so that they can align your body properly.

I hope that you enjoy the pictures below! Have a great week everyone; until next time! :)
