Um... I looked up Split Squat Hops and the only thing I could find was basically an alternating lunge but you hop up? If that's right, I'm just going to do alternating lunges because I literally can't pop up like that with my knee. Here I go!
Yep that is exactly what you do!0 -
TODAY'S CHALLENGE! Day 4: 40 ZigZag Hops, 3 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Press The video for Zig Zag Hops can be found on this website. http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/plyometricexercises.html Anything can be used pillows in a row anything. A rope. The object is to hop some distance. A rope would make a line but you need to shoot for further than just the other side. You will go left and then right to = 1 zig zag hop. Remember when landing allow your muscles and not your joints to absorb the impact of the landing. This is a body mechanic as a team we need to start practicing to keep our joints healthy.0

It's ok. It shows us where we are at and how much we need to improve. I'm sad over my 27% score.0 -

Don't be sad:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Just think of how far you have come!!! Truly, you are an inspiration to all of us and I think of you often when I really don't want to exercise. Thinking of how far you have come pushes me to do another 10 mins of cardio!!!!!:happy: :happy:0 -

Awww that was soooo sweet. TY! Yep it's not easy. Many days I did NOT want to workout or eat healthy. Just have to get back up and keep pushing.
MY goal is to reach 20% body fat! Gives me something to shoot for. I'm confused on the difference between this calculator Gary gave us to try and the BMI one here on the site. Guess I just don't understand the difference between the two.
ALSO VIA GARY:
Did you do your tabata today?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfuU3TSsFM&playnext=1&list=PLA2E34CD9004F5FD9 If not get on it! I'm loving these. You will surprise yourself in two ways. Harder than it looks.....and you can do it! 0 -
