4321 and 44

Hey! :) 
So... I did do what I said I was going too... :) .... I did my workout tonight. So, Coach DD (Deisel Diane)... she has me doing 4321 every other time.... my schedule right now is 
Monday, Thursday, Saturday - 4321 x 2 - So on these days I'm doing 2 sets of 4321.
Tuesday & Friday - 44, 44 - On these days I'm doing 2 sets of 4... so 2 sets of the Cardio. 

Tonight before dinner and before our "Trim-Bassador" conference call... this is what my workout was.... I walked fast for a warm-up about 4 minutes... then began the fun part.... I did my 4 back to back... so, I did 8 minutes of 30 second intervals. I just ran around our neighborhood. But... I have a stop watch and one of the settings is where I can set it to just keep counting down 30 seconds, when it gets to "0" it beeps for 5 seconds while simaltaneously it begins counting 30 seconds again. It's SUPER convenient. So.... I bust my tail in a sprint for 30 seconds, then when it beeps, i jog for 30... when it beeps again....#2- I bust my tail for 30 seconds in a fast sprint.... then jog. WOW! Brings me back to my track days. 

Go try it! you will probably get tired. I was done in 12 minutes, then I stretched a little bit while I got on my conference call. :) Cool! :)

So.... are these blog posts helping?? Anyone reading out there? Let me know your thoughts and comments! :)

TIP OF THE DAY:
Day or Night... just do it! You can do 4321 in your living room!! EVERYONE HAS 10 MINUTES a day... and you will be suprised, it will make a HUGE difference!!! Just try it for 3 weeks! :)
Do 4 minutes of fast feet, altering 30 seconds hard, 30 second jog....feel it burn!!! -- 
Do 3 minutes of strength - ie: 1 minute of push ups, 1 minute of bicep curls (use water bottles if you don't have a band or weights), 1 minute of lunges ... 
Then 2 minutes of CORE/abs-back - glutes - do 1 minute of a plank - get in the push up position- make sure your back and butt is flat not bent, and just hold it for 1 minute tightening your abs and butt. - then do 1 minute of side crunches, tighten your abs as you go ---- 
Finally 1 minute of stretching - stretch good, hold for 30 seconds.
