JM's Body Revolution Week 7 WO 7

Kellylicious01

So yesterday was my first attempt at Week 7 WO 7.
O.....M......G!!!!!! It's nuts!!!!! All of that plank work? UGH! I use 6 pounds for light, 8 pounds for medium, 10 pounds for heavy

Problems I had:

Circuit 1
-Crow push ups: Can barely do regular push ups so I modified
-Walking planks: My feet were sliding (I have a hard wood floor and use a slip resistant yoga mat which usually helps)
-Plank ups: Third plank move in a row so no way my arms were holding. Had to modify to my knees.
-Jack Knife Crunches: I can't keep my legs straight and get them to come up.

Circuit 2
-Downward dog with shoulder push ups: Can't do one. Not even a half of one. So I held in downward dog and concentrated on trying to do just one push up, moving a smidgen each time.
-Cable tricep kickbacks: My cable is not long enough for this and I fumbled like an idiot. Used hand weights second round.
-W shoulder press w/leg extension: Finally a move I was actually doing!!!! Until rep 8 and I thought my arms would fall off. Actually switched to 2 pounds. (I have 2s, then 5s)

Circuit 3
-Cable squats: Again my resistance band is too short. I could do these with a lot of effort though.
-Cable tricep extensions: Again my resistance band is too short. Needed to use weights.
-One leg push ups: At this point my arms wanted nothing to do with me so I had to modify to knees and really concentrate on form. Only think I got one or two proper forms in.

Circuit 4
-Kneeling and lower but holding weight overhead: YAY! I did it!
-Chest press with legs extended: Could not keep legs extended or straight.
-Side plank with hip raises: I can usually do these with some concentration but I think because I was feeling defeated and beat down by this point I just couldn't do it so modified to knee.
Chest Flys with legs extended: Could not keep legs extended or straight.


Was so afraid to preview WO 8 for tonight's workout!!!

Anyone complete WO 7? How did you get through it?

Yes, with a lot of prayers The good news is workout 8 is a little easier and your second time with workout 7 will also be easier. Not to say it will not hurt:grumble:

Did you master the downward dog shoulder presses? Any tips/advice on getting just one in?

Did you have as much trouble as I did with all the moves?
