Today’s workout: 15min with NTC + Abs

Today I did a quickie Because I’m going to train nearly everyday this week so I need to slow down a bit. I did the Box Smart workout from the NTC app.

I’m also focusing on lower abs & obliques since a few days so I did 350 reps:

- 50 leg lifts - 100 ankle touches (50 on each side) - 200 bar twists (100 on each side)

Today’s workout: Ab and Butt workout with Nike Training Club

Still not breathing normally thanks to my allergies I did an ab and butt 30 minutes workout. This workout was intense but I really enjoyed it! Nearly always a different excersise to do throughout the workout.

I want to work on figures such as backbend, splits, handstands etc… I used to master the backbend and some splits but I have lost everything. I ma now working on my strenght and flexibility to master the backbend first so you have the picture of today above hahaha.

Today’s workout: Abs workout with Nike Training Club

As I can’t do cardio training or running due to my allergies ( can’t breathe properly) I decided to work on my abs with 2 NTC workouts of 15 minutes each.

I did the Fearless and the To The Core one! Nice ab session, they were on fire hahaha. I now have a specific dressing for running & fitness clothes hahaha I think I'm being definitely addicted!

Today's workout: NTC New Year's Crush Workout with Maria Sharapova

Today I decided to re-use my NTC app. I use to use it a lot a few years ago but then I tried other stuff. Doing the NTC Live Sessions made me wanna give it another try.  I did a very quick workout, 15min, made by Nike & Maria Sharapova. It's quick yet intense so it was nice.  Plus I'm wearing some new working out clothes: Pants: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/pro-core-compression-kaleidoscope-capris/pid-970283 Shoes: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/free-tr-4-training-shoe/pid-924112/pgid-971115 You can train with NTC at home by downloading the app for free: http://www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/womens-training/NTC

Today's workout: NTC Live Session Tour Eiffel

Week 2 of the prep for the Nike Race, we are back with a Nike Training Club Live Session but in a more amazing place: on the 1st floor of the Eiffel Tower. How amazing is that? I feel so lucky to be part of it.  Once on the 1st floor, ready to begin, a french sports journalist starts a speech to get us motivated and to tell us that there's a surprise. As you may know, Roland Garros is starting tomorrow so many tennis players arrived in Paris already. As she's is sponsored and works with Nike to develop NTC programs, she was there to motivated us: Maria Sharapova.  I can't tell you how surprised and how happy I was to see her for real just in front of my eyes! It was such a nice surprise. Thank you Nike. Then the session began, nice session once again, a little bit harder than last time but we kept going ;) No Pain No Gain!
