Yesternight’s Workout:

 

I am crutch-free! WHEEE!!!

x5

Plank Wheelbarrows, forward/back
10 head-ups
10 halos (each direction)
25 squat passes w/ KB (20#)
15 sec. L-hang
6 KB snatches (each arm)

 

Pretty durn good!

I’m not allowed to run, jump, or lunge for another month or so
(TEARS)
but that won’t slow me down *too* much.

…

I wonder how I could adapt burpees…

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

(Wednesday’s workout, really.)

I kicked a zombie on Sunday
and totally effed up my ankle,
so I did a rather separate workout from The Boyo and The Roommate.

Theirs:

x4

15 jump squats
15 push-ups
15 knees-to-ees
15 burpees
100m sprint/run

 

Mine:

x4

15 hanging sit-ups
5 pullups
15 hollow body rocks
15 tricep dips (prolly not the *best* idea, since I am on crutches…)
15 leg lift and lower
5 toes-to-bar

 

Honestly?

I really missed actually working out with Jessie and Ben.
I will take burpees with friends any day over an equally punishing workout alone.

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:

 

x3

20 squats
20 tuck-ups
20 bench jumps/tuck-jumps
250m run
1 min extended plank

 

I’m still processing my grandfather’s death and memorial.
There is so much I want to say about all of it,
that I’m just choking on the whole thing instead.

I am so grateful for my sister, for The Boyo,
and for the dear friends who listened to my first explosions
after the memorial.

Thank you for holding me.

Thank you for helping me both feel and be better.

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

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*
