ok sphinx pushup is plank position with elbows resting on the floor under your shoulders then up to push up position.

couldn't find football heroes HM. can you explain it or send a link? too much other stuff in google to have it pull anything up.

thanks for clarifying the sphinx push up!

i also don't know what football heroes are, please explain!

It's 4 jukes-(big "tires") forward, and 6 high knees up jogging back.

i googled juke and didn't come up with anything. please explain:embarassed:

aha! why do you fitness types have to come up cute names for everything???:laugh:

i won't be able to do your routine till thursday, but i'm looking forward to it!

This looks great! I didn't end up doing it tonight because my university classes were canceled and I had a list of aerobics classes I wanted to take! :laugh: I did my normal full-body routine (my #1 routine I posted here but with more weights) for 45 minutes, then did Body Step for an hour, then Cardio & Core, which is a 25 minute interval class with work on the step and with the balance ball doing ab work.

I pretty much pre-gamed for tomorrow's Crossfit birthday bash!!! :bigsmile: I got to feeling pretty tired toward the end because I didn't take anything but water and electrolytes, so my sugar got pretty low. But now after a Powerbar and pumpkin muffin (the spice cake mix w/ just canned pumpkin) I feel GREAT!

Hotmom, I will do yours on Wednesday! :flowerforyou:

Man, I'd love to hang out with you for awhile, you could whip me into shape! How do I break my sugar cravings?

Heck, I still have sugar cravings. I don't really try to break myself of anything. Most of the time, I am just too poor to afford anything yummy, or I look at a dozen cookies and think, "If I buy that, I'll want to eat ALL of it," and I never buy it.

But, if I do happen to have sweets in the house, I will let myself eat them. Shoot, I work out harder than any other chick (and most guys) I know (of non-MFPers lol). Who says I can't have treats? I will just save some calories if I want a piece of chocolate. Or, like tonight, I ate my pumpkin spice cake after working out when I needed the sugar (and boy did I need it).

If I overdo it, I work out hard the next day. If I'm thinking of overdoing it, I REALLY think about how I'll feel afterward. If I don't feel that I could benefit in some way from the extra sugar/calories, I make a conscious decision not to eat it and distract myself with something else. If I have been working SUPER hard and am feeling drained, I go ahead and eat some.

We constantly have to make these decisions...sometimes it's easier than others. If we falter a little, just get back on the right track and realize that, somewhere down the road, you'll have a day where you don't eat enough at all, and you'll use up the extra energy then.

I'm still here! Wednesdays are just busy for me. I'll be doing HM's workout tomorrow :happy:

Day off today. I just did some plyo pushups. About 40 chin-ups, and about 10 minutes of cardio, just to get the blood flowing. Tomorrow I'm continuing with this program. I may also try to add a little night time Tabata in if I have the energy. I just LOVE that tabata, it's like 15 minutes of the most intense hell ever, but you can almost feel your body getting stronger after.

I just started reading about this and it sounds great. How long have you been doing it

i'm still in! i plan on doing hotmom's tomorrow. i don't have anything to contribute, except bellydance drills... which i don't think anyone else wants to do... or do they?

Actually I think it would be great for ab work/dynamic stretching.
