Monday Gym Workout

15 minutes on the treadmill with the max speed at 4.0 (I WISH I could run on a treadmill but the balance thing kills me)

Then to the class. All 1 minute intervals (which is an eternity sometimes!)

Burpees with a 5 lb medicine ball in hand (I had to set ball in middle and put hands on floor due to the wrist issues I'm dealing with)

1 leg squats (left leg)

1 leg squats (right let)

Hip thrust (with feet on ball, close to butt...balance baby)

V ups (ick)

1 Leg raise (left leg)

1 Leg raise (right leg)

Plank

Jumping jacks with 3 lb weights

Bench press with legs off ground

Isolated Shoulder Press

Kickbacks (triceps)

Pull ups (are you freaking kidding me??)

Isolated curls

and then you started all over again for a total of 3 reps. All I can say is thankfully we didn't have do those darn handstands!

So what did you do today to MOVE?

What the Circuit Training Class looked like

Class is 45 minutes long. Each set is in 1 minute increments (so he says, but I think his timing is off!)

Burpees

Bridge

Plank

Scissor Kick (um, you know, one leg goes STRAIGHT in the air, while other is pararel to the floor, feet flat?) Ow momma. Up and down, up and down, DO NOT LET THE HEEL TOUCH THE FLOOR.

Jumping Jacks

Arm circles (with weights)

Push ups

Mountain climber

mini Heisman

step/jump

squats

And repeat, repeat, repeat.

Thought it looked boring. Made the mistake of saying so which of course, got me some individual one on one scolding coaching.

Thanks Dude!
