Thursday Morning

I've been following Melissa's (of fitmiss.tv) newest experiment with great interest.  She is planning on doing 25 bodyrock.tv workouts as written and see what kind of results she gets.  Although I have been following Zuzana for some time now, I don't usually do here workouts as written.  I tend to modify them to make them a little longer or more intense.  This has worked great for me and I feel like my fitness level has really improved (as well as my appearance), but I am really curious to see if the results would be similar if I were to actually do the workouts as Zuzana does them.  I have to admit, she looks amazing, but I still have a hard time buying into the 12 minute workouts 3-4 times a week that she does.  I feel like I need a bit more, and maybe *I* do.  I'm sure my eating habits are different than hers!  While I tend to eat quite healthy, I also tend to eat quite a bit!  For instance, the pounds (yes I said pounds) of grapes I can consume solo in one day probably tends to add up calories, even though they are fruit calories:).  So, I will be intently stalking Melissa for the next month or so to see how her experiment goes.  In the meantime, I decided to do the same workout that she posted yesterday, but in true form, I modified it a bit :).  Melissa was able to complete the 6 rounds in a little over 12 minutes so I decided to up the rounds to 10 to increase the time.  This took me 19:12 to complete and my HR was 142 at the end.  I have to admit, the crossover lunges with pulses seemed pretty easy at first, but ended being the toughest part of the workout by about round 6 or so (I was feeling it in my quads).  I am also still feeling DOMS in my glutes from yesterday (from the jump lunges I'm sure) so I'm sure that contributed to the fatigue.  I liked the crossover lunges with pulses and the Santana burpees, these were both fun variations on the same old same old.  So here is the link to Melissa doing the workout http://www.fitmiss.tv/index.php/wo-reviews/bodyrocktv-workouts/138-zuzana-3-guns-and-buns and here is a quick breakdown:
Crossover lunges with 3 pulses- 10 reps
Santana Burpees- 6 reps
Side Jump Lunges- 5 reps per side

Repeat 10 rounds
