A Done 'DEAL' ~ Sun 19th Aug

Yesterday I think I made a 'deal' with the devil.....

On Saturday's we do our SSS (Super Saturday Session) and I thought I'd go with some 'friend's' who I've met from 12wbt and do our SSS.  Yesterday's was quite an interesting SSS involving a 'deck' of cards.  Each suit represented an exercise and the number was how many reps.  The 'Royal's' were everyone's love to hate exercise of Burpee's...

Sadly two of the group couldn't make it so it was just another and I but still I got the workout of a lifetime.  I've never done this card workout before as I use to do double back to back classes at the gym to get my 1000+ cals burnt for the day.

We took it in turns to each turn over a card and I must have been channeling one friend who couldn't be there who we have affectionately called 'Demon Ninja' because EVERY time it was my turn to turn over a card I turned over a ROAYL - J,Q,K,A .... OMG ... who invited me.... I'm never going to be allowed back again ..... LOL

Burpee's are an interesting concept I think probably because it sounds better than 'vomit's' because I'm sure once your head goes lower than your stomach your in for a world of hurt and unpleasantness.  How Hoffy managed to do so many is beyond me.  It's all about technique too you really need to get a good rhythm going.  It's something I will get better with in time but it's not like it's going to be my work of passion to get a 'perfect routine'.

This morning the legs are a litle stiff but moveable and I can feel it in my upper back.  A mixture of squats, burpee's, push ups, lunges, single leg squats and over the fence jumps have done their job.

So because I felt that I wasn't punished enough yesterday today I have decided to re hit Lofty - so if I don't post again it was nice knowing you .... I am sure I can beat my time of 2 hours and 19 minutes going up that mountain!!! I'm a little terrified but also excited to know that I am on my way to being the best version of me I can be!
