I DO intend to do it tonight though. Hopefully I don't flake out! I am going to be quitting the full time law firm job. The gym will be part time at the gym and I will be keeping my hours and possible increasing them a bit a the studio I work at now. So basically I will work anywhere from 9:00-1:00 at the gym and then anywhere from 4:00-8:00 at the studio. That's on weekdays. On weekends I work at the studio on Saturday mornings usually just an hour or two so I am not sure if I want to give the gym a few hours after I leave the studio on Saturday if I want to give the gym a few hours on Sunday afternoons instead. Whatever I decide to start out with a the gym can be adjusted as needed after I see how it goes!
I was off work, too, and still struggled to find the time to get in my run. Better late than never, right? Are you still feeling the soreness from Friday's fun? Did you like MMX? I am always looking for new kickboxing/martial arts workouts. I LOVE combat, but wish it was slightly more intense. I've got my fingers crossed they come out with a Combat 2!!!
Still continuing with X3 as well and the challenge. Sorry about the crappy run. It happens. You'll have a better one next time!
*sip sip* Better. Just teasing. You've got so many different workout programs going on. How do you keep it all straight?? The next three weeks are going to go by so stinking fast. And then you'll be out of that crazy law office and changing bodies into hardcore fighting machines all over New Jersey. Anyway, we started with 50 butt kicks, 50 high knees, and a bunch of static stretches. Then we did the following:
Ended up doing 2 conditioning intervals totaling 14 mins using ropes, med ball slams and KB swings. Nice work out you did! Now what's your b*tch with squats? They are good for the buns so you should never complain about them!
A $1.00 more on the hour is going to make a noticeable difference. I'm so happy for you! I have a love/hate relationship with squats. I don't necessarily mind them, but as the weight gets heavier I find myself leaning forward too much. I'm trying so hard to fix it, but just can't seem to get it right. GRRRR! I LOL at your "rest" day workout.
How to Avoid Leaning Forward on Squats | StrongLifts
If you get desperate let me know and i'll mail you care packages. I'm somewhat of a decent cook. Gesh you did have a busy day yesterday! Were you able to double up on your workout? Thanks for the link about how to avoid leaning forward when squatting. I try to be conscious of it, but can definitely use all the help I can get!!
(Not enough time to double up again though. Booh. ) The AMRAP was a good combo of upper/lower body. I started with 5 minutes of lateral band push ups and lateral band squats and then did the 2nd 5 minutes with negative inverted rows and the lateral band squats again. Nice burn! I will be training him 1x per week through July and part of August. He wants assistance in preparing for the physical test to become of Corrections Officer. That's a solid base for a half mary. Just so you know, you don't need to run any further then that during training! It's really not necessary. So how did you do with controlling your forward lean during those squats on Friday?? LOL- Awwww. Thank you for offering to feed me if I get desperate during the job transition! Sorry about the yucko weather. We will be getting some as well in a couple days. At least the weekend was nice...
I have actually forgotten to do the other side before (for example - do right lunges but fail to do left lunges). High five on a successful first solo training session. Wow!!! Scary yet super exciting! What a cool concept. I did the warm-up, plyo tabata, and firewalker tabata from CrossFire followed by the upper body/abs segments of Athletic Training. Good stuff!!
and then all of X3 CVX! I am not even that crazy! lol Good for you!
Boo on not getting X2, but I understand your reasoning. Besides, it gives you something to look forward to in the future! Great job with your workouts! I am so impressed with you swinging that monster 30# kettlebell. My Crossfit box has a 26# KB and a 35#KB...nothing in between. I really need to just buy a 30# KB!!! I was not planning on running two races back to back, but I won free entry to the Saturday 10k and my sister begged me to run the Sunday 5k with her. The 5k is to benefit a company called Sweet Blessings that makes birthday cakes for underprivileged children and children facing terminal illnesses. It is such a worthy cause that I had to participate. Plus they give you free cake and ice cream at the finish line. SCORE!
