Calisthenics Warm-up: backwards lunges, high knees, tuck jumps, leg lifts
50 pushups – I am still not able to do 50 full on push-ups consecutively, but I keep plugging away!
Core: crunches, 6 inch flutters, V-ups
3 -1 min rounds,- AMRepsAP
ring dips with 25lb vests
double rope waves with lunges – my coordination needs work in general, so having to swing 2 ropes and then do lunges at the same time with both legs!! Talk about a challenge. I brought it down to one rope to get the hang of it, and then on the 2nd round added the other rope. This station looks like it’s not that bad, but man, your arms are like spaghetti at the end of it.
25lb db split jerks
Trifecta station: Power Clean, Push Press, Back Squat (65lbs)
Double box jumps
What a difference a week makes! Last Thursday, I needed a pep talk. Today, I feel great. I am still sore – but it’s a good sore! One thing I want to work on in the month’s to come is to really push myself. I have noticed that when it starts to hurt or my breathing starts to get to a point where I am not comfortable, then I stop and rest. I want to push on but I stop. I have asthma so I think the breathing scares me, so I stop to catch my breath. Breathing is important right? I am going to try next week to just push it a bit with both aspects to see if I can work through it.
I also did another 30 mins last night on our new Elliptical trainer. As I mentioned yesterday, I want to see what adding more cardio to my overall fitness plan does with the scale. The scale seems to be stuck.
What is your plan for fitness today?
