Yesternight’s Workout:

 

Just Boyo and me:

x4

10 seated straddle leg-lifts
10 head-touch pushups (absurdly difficult!)
200m run
30 squats with 20# KB, passed back and forth
30 sec. L-hold from bar
30 sec. star hold L/R, plank, reverse plank

 

Poor Boyo.
He had the distinct disadvantage of coming to workout with me
after I was yelled at by a co-worker.
I kinda take those things out through exercise,
so this was a brutal workout.

He might hate me forever for those straddle-lifts.

 

ps (Straddle lifts: “Sit in a straddle position, then lean forward slightly and place your hands on the floor. Lift your legs up and back as far as possible. The farther forward your hands are placed, the more difficult the exercise will be.”)

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x4

5 squat throughs, each leg (like a pistol, but when you come up,
you extend your leg behind you without resting your foot at any time — OWWW)
15 burpees
10 leg levers
400m hill run
10 butt swishes (on all fours, extend and flex leg out to the side,
parallel with your hips, then thrust it straight back and into the air as high as possible)

 

Ooh, I’ve got some sore buttcheeks today,
lemmetellyouwhat.

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x4

3 hill runs

10 lateral pushups (hate!)

20 jumping lunges (AWESOME.)

5  KB Windmills, each arm (20#)

15 Superman rocks

30 sec handstand

 

A decent workout, all told.

I loooooove those jumping lunges–they’re exhausting in a unique way.

We’ll be doing more hill runs and more running in general this summer

as the Zombie 5K gets closer.

 

*LUNGE*

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x4

24 lunges
15 knees-to-elbows
25 KB squat passes
(we stood in a circle and passed a 25# kb around whilst squatting.
it was both hilarious and awesome.)
20:20:20 sprint
10 KB thrusts

 

Katie’s husbear joined in our madness–yay, Kyle!

We swapped out the 20:20:20 sprints
(20 second sprint, 20 second rest, 20 second sprint)
for a 200m run on the third round, and 10 burpees on the 4th.

Those sprints.

They are MURDER.

I’m trying to work us up to a real Tabata night–
but it will be a Tabata ONLY,
because we’re not *that* crazy.

(A Tabata drill is a 20 second sprint, 10 second rest for four minutes.
MURDER.)

This was a solid workout–
closest I’ve ever come to actually puking
and/or tapping out.

It’s those sprints!
ARGH.

…

Maybe I’ll do more tonight.

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x5

10 slow leg lifts
10 burpees
20 squats
1 min plank-to-pushup position
(I don’t really know how to describe this one…)
10 tuck-ups
100m sprint

 

It was good to know that I really and truly pushed
myself as hard as I could on this one.

We all made it through all five rounds, too!
Yay!!!

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x2 Sprint 20 seconds
20 seconds rest

10 spiderman pushups

x2 Sprint 20 seconds
20 seconds rest

10 Hindu pushups
15 tuck ups
10 v-ups
4 chin-ups
10 knees to elbows
10 toes to bar

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x3

10 Spiderman pushups
20 Bench jumps
20 Halos
10 Superman lifts
10 Slow knee-hang situps
200m Run

Not much to say about this one–
pretty good,
decent in terms of being challenging.

 

I still feel guilty if I’m not completely thrashed by the end of a workout.

*sigh*

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

Had a tweaked back for the last couple of days,
so I decided this was a good time for the slooooow workout–
concentrating on control and strength instead of power and speed.

X3

10 toes to bar (focusing on 90 degree arm bend, and controlled leg lowering)
1 min plank to pushup to plank
1 min reverse plank
10 hollow body leg lift and lower (focusing on using abs to raise and lower legs)
10 KB swings (#20), each arm
30 sec plank
30 sec wall sit

 

Laughing hurts today.

So good.

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

Actually, Friday’s workout:

x4

10 tuck-jump burpees
30 sumo squats
20 knees-to-elbows
5 pistols, each leg
30 sec dead hang/1 min plank/1 min reverse plank/30 sec handstand

 

My ass is *still* sore from those pistols!

I’m planning on having a slow workout this week–
not easy, mind you, just slow.
It’ll be awesome and horrible!

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x5

30 squats
20 knees to elbows (DEATH)
10 lateral pushups
10 leg circles/halos
100m sprint
10 KB twists, knees bent (20lb)

 

I’m so glad the Boyo and I made it through all five rounds–
the knees to elbows and sprints almost made me puke,
but it’s good to know that I truly pushed my body as hard as I could last night.

Boyo ran to the park last night, 2.5 miles,
and I finished up with four pullups and five KB swings on each arm.
