Bixby Bridge treadmill workout on ifit. It is kinda fun to run somewhere new and have the treadmill adjust the incline and decline. 31:25 total time, 433 ft elevation change, 559 calories.

avg 8:57 pace

Millau Viaduct Bridge treadmill ifit workout. First half was at a -3 decline, and then the second half was at a 15% incline and evened out to 2% the last quarter mile or so. 23:50 total time, 423 calories, 449 elevation gain. 9:16 avg pace.

Still haven't lost any weight. Hopefully I am gaining muscle and the weight will come off soon!

Doing Holly's workout this evening with Cameron.

10 pushups

10 squat jumps

10 lunges

10  good mornings

10 mountain climbers

30 sec rest. Do as many sets as you can in 12 minutes.

7 rounds in 12:15. When I hit the 12 minute mark I only had mountain climbers left. I haven't done many of month 1's workouts, but I did do this one initially and felt much better this time around. Girl pushups for all rounds which is why I think I was able to move a bit quicker through the set,  and jumping off the ground squat jumps. Got my husband in on the action.

Treadmill run with ifit. Snowbird Resort, UT. Kinda fun to be running down the slopes with the skiers and boarders in mid 60 degree weather and no ice. While watching Downton Abbey.

Most of the run was at a -3 decline. Wish I could see this before I start a workout so I would know what to expect. Wishing there was a little bit of hill make me work harder, but overall it was nice to feel fast for a run. 5 miles straight without stopping.

4.92 miles in 38:05, 7:44 pace. 57 ft elevation gain, 712 calories.
 

Warmup

20 burpees
20 up and down planks (on each arm)
100 squats
100 jump ropes
50 bench dips
50 lunges

In any order, just as long as you do them all eventually. For time. 

Finished in 9:57. Hopefully I can get faster at this! The bench dips and squats were hardest for me. Nice to get a little cross train workout when I have a busy day. Can't make an excuse for a 10-15 minute workout.

And taking 3 kids 4 and under to the grocery store has to count for something, right?

Redwood National Forest run on ifit. Unexpected incline the whole time. I would say 80 percent of the run was above 11% incline. Good run for me even if I had to slow the pace due to the incline.
