Number Five Alive

Today was actually quite a lot of fun at BBC. First we did some push presses (I think is what it's called.) Four sets of 8 reps each. We started out with no weight and added weights each set. Lisa and I ended up pressing 80 lbs and Erica did 85! We are such strong broads! (Missy wasn't here because she is gone on a business trip, we miss you Missy!) Then we did 'roll the dice' or something like that. Basically, Ben gave us each a die and we had to roll it to see which form of torture was in our future. Each number 1-6 represented a different exercise that we had to do 15 reps of. We also had to do 50 jumping jacks in between every 2 sets. I rolled freaking burpees 3 times!!! The last time I even kicked the die to change the number and it still went back to number 5, burpees! So I kicked it once more and it was still 5! And even though it sucked really badly, poor Erica got burpees what seemed like all but 3 times! I felt for her, I really did! It was a lot of fun though, it was cool to not know what was coming next.

Ben rounded out our morning beating by having us do wall sits and plank poses for SIXTY seconds! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!???! When did we transistion to 60 seconds? I think he had us do 4 or 5 sets of those. But whatever, we did 'em. We got there, kicked ass and looked good doing it!

PSA: Just for the record, Ben isn't really torturing or beating us! His workouts are intense but not abusive. We are seeing results! Plus, we all asked for this ass kicking!
