Todays quickie workout..

School holidays sure are an interesting time!

Ok - I'm sore, arthritis is flared up - todays victims are my hips, knees, ankles and wrists. I've got the flu and 3 kids home and bored for school hols.. BUT i wasn't going to let that stop me all together.

Todays workout was just a nice quick and easy one, cause i didn't want to do nothing..

Skipping Rope : 5 mins
Sit ups : 10 x 3
Leg Lifts: 5 x 2
Pushups (on wall) : 10 x 3

Was planning on doing some lunges as well, then repeat this program 2 more times - but the bored teenagers started fighting and my music just isn't loud enough to drown them out and my house isn't strong enough to endure their fights... gah!

New financial year - new booty!

So I wrote not long ago about this being the year of new, and true to my word i have been working on it. I've got myself a new job, which i'm loving. Today i'm getting a new haircut - yay! Plus i've been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and sorting out my garage to regain my workout space!!!!

My boxing gym is all set up (but I did discover I need a new belly for my speed ball), my skipping rope is hanging, the Total Gym is ready to go Chuck Norris Style and I've got a desk to have all my writing equipment on to keep track of my reps, sets, progress ect.

I'm having a HUGE flare up of my arthritis atm, so my wrist is uber sore and crappy - but it will pass. I also feel like I'm coming down with the flu my kids have all been suffereing from. But I'm refusing to give in. Today after lunch will see me in that garage skipping up a storm!

My workout queen from http://www.bodyrock.tv/workout-schedule/the-week-of-july-3rd/ posted a new workout this morning and I cannot wait to get my interval timer so I can do her workouts properly!

I've charged the camera up and I promise I will take before photos today with the help of my daughter.. I cannot promise I will actually post them for a LONG LONG time lol, but they will exist to compare the next lot too!

Thou shall play derby and be happy!!

The 10 commandments of H*A*R*D!

1. Leave your ego and chip on your shoulder at the door.

2. Regardless of skill levels, everyone has equal place on the track at training.

3. Push yourself every time. Push others to push themselves. (Support is your teammates best friend!)

4. Everyone deserves to train - without the person next to you, we wouldn't have a league.

5. Treat others how you would expect to be treated

‎6. Aim to get to training before the start time. Strap on your gear and be ready! We don't pay our money to sit around.

‎7. There is no "I" in team.

‎8. Be proud of your league and spread the name positively and lead by example

9. Have Fun!

10. The road to happiness. First, league. Second, Team. Third, Self.
