So, today was day 4 of my 30 days of hard work and as this was Sunday I put in 3 hours of exercise. I started with a 45 minutes bike ride around 10.00 in the morning to get to my parents place. We were going to chop wood there for 2-3 hours so I decided to use the bike ride as a warm up :).
Then at 13.00 we went on a mountain hike up on mount Brakstad with the kids and my family in law. My 4 year old was a bit hard to get started and he constantly complained that his feet were to tired. However once we got of the road and on to the track the hike suddenly became more fun for him and from here on he was running up the mountain side. He was pushing his father to the limit as I was struggling to keep up with him especially as I was carrying a 15kg backpack/carrier with the lunch and my 18month old daughter. I could feel that the 15kg of extra weight added to the effect of the exercise so I might do some hiking in the future wearing a heavy backpack.
The hike took about 2 hours and 15 minutes and the kids did great.
Then in the evening we did the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred routine. I was certain I would have trouble following the routine today as I felt a bit stiff, but after the initial warm up the rest of the routine went ok. Today we did not start the routine until 21:30 which was a bit late so tomorrow we aim to start as soon as the kids have gone to bed.
