DAY 8: Cardio Power Circuit

I'll admit... I'm REALLY enjoying this workout program. Yes, there are still times that I feel a bit light-headed and need to take a break... but, doing all this moving and jumping... it leaves me with a great endorphin rush. And for a woman like me, who laughs A LOT, it's hard to find a good endorphin rush. That's why I stopped running. :) In today's workout, you do "hurdles" - run on one spot and then jump, one leg at a time over to the left or right. (Not exactly hurdles, but...) Anyway, when I'm doing them, all I can think about is Jessica Zelinka - a Canadian heptathlete that competed in this summer's Olympics in London. She's from London, Ontario, and a friend of mine at work and I decided we wanted to be hepathletes after watching her perform her first day of events. Seriously - 7 events over 2 days - and they want to crown Michael Phelps the greatest Olympian...? 7 events. Anyway, Jessica got a bunch of personal bests and did an AMAZING job on the hurdles. Those hurdles look taller than me. I don't think I could do "real" hurdles, so I'm thankful this workout only has me doing a version that looks more like I'm trying to jump over a 2 ft hurdle...
