stoopid penguins

so my good friend and client liz'bet is finally heading to the antarctic to see her beloved penguins. she's also doing some insane hiking in argentina. i think it was about a year ago she decided to book this trip, and she asked me to get her in shape. we dragged her out of bed at 7:30 in the morning 3 days a week, we made her get on a treadmill, we made her walk up and down stairs in her big 'ice-field boots', we made her walk to work in hiking boots, we made her do hills on the treadmill in hiking boots, we made her walk to work, in hiking boots, while carrying a big backpack, and we made her do hundreds of squats, crunches and pushups. finally, this morning, after a few more hills, some abs, and the dreaded 'dead bug with a ball', miss liz'bet is 55lbs lighter and ready to take on the penguins.
here she is all freaked out cuz i'm making her exercise when she could be trying to repack her suitcase for the 57th time!


in her honor, i ran my usual 2 loops of palgrave, with 180 squats, pushups and leg drops, and 90 jumpsquats, crunches and laterals. plus 50 dips for good measure! and, my legs are still tired so i think i'll go easy this weekend.
and as for liz'bet, have an awesome time sweetie and go chase those stoopid penguins. come home safe to me, mum and pops.
luv ya !
