Notes

Almost two hours ago I completed the first workout this week known as the Unforgettable 40s. This workout was I believe my longest workout so far totaling almost 40 minutes with an average 166bpm. I was working extremely hard and probably sweat the most that I have in a while from this workout session. I decided for this workout to go a little heavier on the workouts that I felt already established in. I did 10 reps each arm with the 1 arm DB bench on each side, then I did 6 DB thrusters with two dumbbells, followed by 5 reverse rows. These beginning exercises in this workout were challenging, but little did I know how much energy and effort the other exercises after would be. I then focused on 5 reps of each leg of cross back lunges with dumbbells, these were challenging after already doing DB thrusters. After that, I did 20 crunches and switched back and forth during each rotation of side crunches and normal crunches, and occasional full sit-ups. Next I did 6 reps of single leg deadlifts with the dumbbell on each side, ending with one lap and quite a bit of jumping jacks to cap it off. Overall, this workout was very challenging through the eight rotations, and I definitely found myself extremely tired, but in a good way after this workout. I had a good time while doing it, kept my heart rate up and worked hard to not take breaks, and was sweating a lot. Great workout in general, one of the hardest times I have pushed myself physically in recent memory. Overall, great workout. Below this I attached a screenshot of the app and my workout as you can see.

Just an hour ago before dinner I completed the heavy hitter workout as the second workout of this week. During this workout I completed 14 rounds or rotations of all of the exercises as a whole. I said previously in my last workout that this was one of my more challenging workouts and longer ones, but this workout, the heavy hitter, was certainly in my top two of most challenging workouts so far. This workout felt a little longer than usual because we went for over 45 minutes, but it felt good to workout for that time, and I know that I will thank myself in the future. Starting with 30 jumping jacks was definitely my strong point, because I'm so used to doing jumping jacks as I would often add them in at the end or at least some points of my workouts previously in this course. Towards the last few rounds the 30 second wall squats were brutal and I had to adjust but I pushed through, and the squats combined with 10 leg lunges per long were definitely taking a toll on me. I had to focus extremely hard on my breathing to complete the push-ups during each round, but since my chest has been getting much stronger throughout this course, I pushed through with a lot of effort. I mixed up the plank positions to side planks and normal planks, and pushed myself through the mountain climbers which I found to be raising my heart rate quite a bit. To end off each round I did 20 feet flat and normal crunches and sit-ups while really having mind muscle connection with my abs. Overall I found this week quite challenging and effort intensive, but I enjoyed it and I know I will enjoy the results. Great workout for me but took a lot of effort and surely challenged me.
