Jump in the Cold Water

Today was a good day...gorgeous sunny crisp wintery weather but not too cold.  So here goes:

1 regular whole wheat bagel with cream cheese
half glass of orange juice
1 small latte
small salad with grilled veggies
piece of prime entrecote with a veggie side
espresso
soup au pistou for dinner (clear broth with pesto, veggies and a handful of soup pasta)

30 minute rheinstairmaster session (and that's where the jump in the cold water comes into play...met up with a fit looking 60 some year old who did his callisthenics and then jumped into the 'warm' 5C Rhein...does it all year round every other day or so...it was a nice evening for a swim if you can take the cold water)

25 minute streching, leglifts, crunches, etc routine

I'm liking this...your guys are keeping me on my toes although I will never do burpees any more than you will do leglifts :-)

Hey - I do leg-legs as well as hanging leg lifts!
They go well with the 1/2 burpees - burn the abs royally and get the heart rate up to 185 if you do 'em right!

Are you kidding?

I do leg lifts all the time as part of my knee rehabilitation!!

Of course, I use a resistance band, ankle weights, and tabata intervals, but I DO do 'em!!

BTW - A 45 year old woman won a Burpee competition in Virginia competing against people half her age...
