How to fight 20 kids

Pretty creatively funny

Struggled

8 sets x (12 burpees + 12 starjumps) is pretty hard. Last time I couldn't do them properly, but this time I made it! Maybe it's the amount of food I had today... bucket loads. Well tonnes of fat and carbs, such as peking duck, mmmmm. hmm, why not beijing duck?
So I read that Michael Phelps eats 10,000 calories a day! Whoa. That's like over 3x the recommended average for guy. Monster!
Anyway, I'm starting to develop a liking to this burpees thing.

Sweet water

Man, so about a year ago I posted on my msn space that after a workout I drank milk and it tasted sweet. This time it happened with water! I guess training first thing in the morning before brekkie can be an alternative to miracle fruit!
I wonder if it will make disgusting molasses taste good.

Anyway, 12 burpees by 12 starjumps x 8 is pretty hard. At some points I ended up just lifting my arms to keep time Sticking out tongue
I also took a measure of my body fat and weight:
68.1kg, 17% fat, 16/08/08

looking back on my past records in my msn blog, 17% means I'm pretty chubby Sticking out tongue

100 kicks

Did my 100 kicks today. Planning on doing them about twice a week.

Tabata Burpees 2

So it's nearing spring when the excess fat I have will start becoming unnecessary.
I finally got around to doing burpees with tabata intervals last night.

I've finally timed myself and 12/12 is just about right for 20s burpees and 10s starjumps.

I first tried 13 burpees and 10 star jumps, that took me about 2:08 minutes for 4 sets (I was knackered after 4. Yes!)

100 Kicks - 13 August 2008

3 sets of 20 kicks per leg
Static stretching between sets.

Legs are really achy today due to jump training on Monday. I'm thinking of adding 3 sets of 10 half-V sits into the mix; just something really easy to get me started. These are the ones where you lie on your back and reach up to touch your toes.
