Peekaboo...!

Holy smokes! That was a really tough one! I have sweat in places I never had sweat before. 24 exercises with a 30/10 interval instead of 50/10. Even though I have a cold and feeling really sick, I just needed to do it. Life is just too short as we know it.

Ofcourse I’m behind schedule, but better late than never. Only two days left of this challenge. After this I need to look for a new challenge. I think I am going to try al the NTC workouts. Just after the new update this challenge came along, so I had to do this first. But no worries, I never get bored this way.
Today wasn’t that hard, mayb I should I have done 3 rounds. But I had only little time.
Here’s the video link:
Everyday I try to make a sketch. Enjoy this one!
I can’t lift my arms anymore! Only 4 exercise 3 times…

Here is the videolink:
Good luck! You will need it! And some character!
This is an exercise from the NTC iphone app wich I use al lot! Since I started my 30 day challenge a little less ofcourse. I just love the exercises they come up with. Most of the times you only need a medicine ball, some halter weights, or just your own bodyweight! And the new exercises are getting just more and more fun to do!
If you like sketching and art (don’t know if I should call my own work art). Check my Project 365 website. I started at january 1st, so already 22 days have passed. It’s not always easy I have to admit. So check it out! I really hope you like it! Enjoy!
Day 5 is a 800 rep challenge! This is really a tough one, but it felt so good! I finished it in 21:59 and now I can hardly lift my coffee cup. Seven exercise twice! If you move from triceps to the push ups for the second round, you nearly die.
I did the first five push ups during round one with two chairs and the big ball, but I continued on the floor, because I couldn’t do it anymore, but without the knees!
25 Push Ups using the Bodyrock Pink Equalizer or Dip Station & Stability Ball
100 High Knee Skips
25 Knee Tucks using the Bodyrock Pink Equalizer or Dip Station
100 High Knee Skips
25 Squats using the Pink Sandbag
100 High Knee Skips
25 Triceps using the Bodyrock Pink Equalizer or Dip Station

Good luck!
It takes hard work and a lot of your time. Sometimes you have to skip a party or a date, because it takes determination to reach your goal. If you want to succeed, no matter what it is, work hard, work very hard! And when you finally reach your goal, be happy, because you have earned it! BUILD YOUR DREAM NOW!
Wow! That was a tough one! But I made, sort of. I am sweating and it was only a 12 minute workout. Can you imagine… 4 exercises three times! Here they are:
Jump Over – Go Under using the Bodyrock Pink Equalizer 18/15/16
1 x Over + 1 x Under Elevated Push-Ups, alternate legs after each 5 reps each side – using the Bodyrock Pink Equalizer 15/11/14
Side Plank Leg Lifts Left Side using the Bodyrock Pink Equalizer 15/18/12
Side Plank Leg Lifts Right Side using the Bodyrock Pink Equalizer 9/10/8
Some adjustments: I don’t have an equalizer, So I use a chair, the sofa or the stairs. Whatever comes in handy.

Today I only did Lisa’s workout. After that one I was empty. Plan is to hit it hard tomorrow! I just love that get body moving and become stronger and stronger. I still hate that I am still not allowed to run. Sometimes I just could cry. But I don’t, because I will run again… Someday. I hope.

1. Focus on unprocessed foods. Try to keep your fridge and pantry stocked with foods that make up a nutritious, heart-healthy diet, such as whole grains, fish, lean meats, vegetables and fruits. They’ll provide essential nutrients, help fuel your workouts properly and aid in your post-run recovery. Try to minimize the amount of processed foods you eat.
2. Eat small meals throughout the day. Throw the notion of three large meals a day out the window — it doesn’t work for runners. You need more calories during the day than sedentary people, so it’s better to spread them out with a small meal every three to four hours. You’ll find that eating mini meals will help maintain your energy levels throughout the day and keep you from feeling hungry all the time.
3. Don’t deny yourself the foods you love. We all know what happens if you don’t give in to your favorite foods: One day you’ll have a monster craving and end up overindulging. It’s better if you allow yourself small portions of the foods you love and not force yourself to eat foods you really don’t like. In the long run, it will save you calories, because you’ll feel more satisfied and you’ll be less likely to binge and eat mindlessly. Eating in moderation is the key.
4. Mix things up. Try to not get into the habit of eating the same foods day after day. Pasta often becomes a staple of a runner’s diet, but there are lots of other healthful and interesting carb choices for runners, such as couscous, rice or quinoa. Different fruits and vegetables supply different nutrients, so it’s important that you eat a variety of fruits and vegetables too.
5. Don’t forget about protein. Runners focus so much on consuming their carbs that their protein needs sometimes get forgotten. Protein is used for some energy and to repair tissue damaged during training. Protein should make up about 15% of your daily intake. Runners, especially those training for long distances such as marathons, should consume .5 to .75 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Good sources of protein
I missed day two last week, I was ill due to my allergies. Trust me, you don’t want that. So I did day two on my “active” restday. My legs are still sore from yesterday’s 600 rep workout and I felt that doing the sandbag lunges. Ouch ouch ouch!
Instaed of a Ugi ball I use my medicine ball and instead of a sandbag I use a small backpack filled with weights. Works just fine!
1. Box Jump + 1/2 Burpee (Alternative sides) 10/9
2. Lunge & Swing using the Pink Sandbag 22/18
3. 3 point jumps + R & L Knee to Elbow using the Ugi Ball 4/5
4. Side Leap using the Ugi Ball 18/19
5. Tricep Dips + Knee Tuck using the Dip Station 13/11
6. Walking Pike Push-ups 4/5
Above exercises twice! I put my scores next to them. You want to give it a go?
600 rep workout, this was a hard one, but I completed it. My legs feel like rubberbands. My time to finish the whole workout is 19:39:7. I didn’t do the Sean workout, because there still wasn’t a video link.

Just got back from the physiotherapist for my runnersknee. That dude made me work my butt off! Felt like a workout! I also need to do my Bodyrock workout, but I noticed there are TWO workouts for today. So I still haven’t figured it out, if I should do them today or tomorrow. I really don’t want to over do it and make things worse.
I need food, I can think better with a filled tummy!
Ps. If I can’t make it today, here are the video links (they look amazing, can’t wait to try today or tomorrow):
From january 1st I committed myself to make a drawing every single day. Just to challenge and push myself in a creative way. Trust me, it’s not easy, but I hope it’s worth it. Enjoy!
Stumbled upon this post while searching for some photo’s. I do have that stupid belly fat. These are a few good reminders to gid rid of it! Just to keep me focused on my goal and living a healthy life.
Day 5 was really good workout day, though really heavy. I had to do two workouts! But after today two active rest days. And my body really needs that! I am going to do a few yoga routines on my rest days and that will be all!
Two time challenges today with Lisa and Sean. I did Lisa’s workout a lot faster (10.18) than Sean’s workout (17.46). I also started with Lisa’s workout, so I already was a little tired, when I started the second workout.
I don’t have a dipstation and a sandbag. So I do the alternate exercises or use weights where I can.

I’m going to take a shower first, sweating like crazy!
Waking up and do some yoga, I should do that everyday. But I’m lacking on my yoga lately. It’s a shame, cos I really benifit from yoga. It keeps me flexible, de-stressed and grounded. And I think it’s a great addition to my Bodyrock 30 day Challenge! Just to keep everything loosen up and flexible.
It was a short session with Tara Stiles, but it still made me sweat.
If you want to give it a go, here are the vids:
Namaste
I missed day 3, clumsy me. Just did day 4 and I’m exhausted! Only four exercises three times is only 12 minutes! Only 12 minutes and I almost died!
