Back on post today, and I was pumped!! After my Art of Exercise routine yesterday, I pretty much relaxed and took it easy since the Ab Ripper killed me so. Today I was ready to get back in the game. 15 minutes of high intensity elliptical followed by a circuit my trainer had done himself yesterday.
5 Burpees
Push Mat:: pushing a stack of mats from one end of a basketball court (the short end) to the other and back.
5 Tricep Dips
5 Chin ups:: I still can't pull myself all the way up
10 Crossfit Pushups:: I did these on my knees; pushup position, lower entire body to the floor and take hands off floor/mat then back up.
I did 3 of these. I could have done 2 more, but I got a minute migraine so I decided to just take my sweaty ass to the sauna and relax for a bit. So I did. I feel good, though! Energized, ready for more. I'm glad I took a rest day yesterday; even though I did that routine, it didn't seem to phase me so much, so I call it a rest day. Yay me
I almost forgot after the elliptical I climbed all the way up Level II on the rock wall. Sometimes I struggle with the last 2 feet or so before I can hit the metal thing, but not today, no sir! Keeping in mind to place my feet first and then propel off my legs to reach hand grips really helped me succeed. My upper body is so weak that I would feel helpless there, wishing I could just reach and pull myself up by my Popeye forearms, but then I remember... I don't have Popeye forarms! But I do have Thunder Thighs and I put those babies to work on that wall! I felt like Spider Woman whuyaaa!
