My DDs got me into watching several shows on Dropout. Their tour is coming to our area next week and taking my one DD at home to go see it. Very excited!

After taking last week off while on vaca, got back to it yesterday. Decided to try something new to keep things interesting. Found a whole-body routine geared toward runners and oh boy did it kick my butt. Was definately sore when I went out for my run this morning. It uses supersets of two exercises with no rest between the exercises (e.g. 4 sets of deadlifts and bent over rows with no rest between the exercises but 1 minute rest between sets). Full workout consisted of deadlifts, rows, goblet squats with weight shift, box jumps, leg thrusts (was supposed to be single leg but that was too much for me), negative pushups, prone hip IR, wall marching, skiers and hip extensions into the wall.

Not a shock, but definately showed that I've still got lots of areas where I need the work!

My husband watches a bunch of their stuff, but I really only watch Make Some Noise and Game Changer. They're soooo funny!

I've done routines like that before - they are way harder than you'd expect!

Hahaha. Tonight’s workout included pushups. I can barely do “girl” pushups at this point.
