Good Morning!
Today I did Lauren Brooks' KB DVD. I really liked it. It is on par with Empire State. Empire State has more core work in it though.
I did the Joint Mobility Section - very much like Anthony's but it's only 6 mins. long instead of 9. Felt like it covered everything though.
One Arm Rows and Alternating Swings - 30 secs of each - did all; no xtra rest
Suitcase Deadlift & Swings - I think this was also 30 secs of each - did all no xtra rest
First two exercises repeasted - had to take xtra rest after 2nd round of swings.
Front Squat L&T - needed xtra rest
Clean & Press L&R - did all
Pushups (on fists or KBs) - I did on fists - she does 8 - extra rest
Squat Thrusts - did all - took xtra rest
Overhead Swings - did only half of them; didn't go completely overhead; I have to say I felt myself really stabilize my core on this one and also pull in my glutes
Repeat above two exercises
Didn't rest between pushups and squat thrusts; too xtra rest after squat thrusts; did all overhead swings except for last 3 reps
Back Lunges, Alternating Cleans, Mountain Climbers - did all but took xtra rests between ball
Hi-Pull, Catch & Squat - only did 30 secs. out of 60
2-handed Swings and Alternating Swings - took extra rest
Back Lunges - did all with extra rest
Alternating Cleans - did all with no xtra rest
Mountain Climbers - did all
Repeat last two sets of exercises
Hi-Pull - did 5 more secs.
2-handed swings - did only 15 secs.
Alt. Swings - did only 15 secs.
Core work - Pullover to crunch (like a reverse crunch) - I think Anthony does pullovers but with feet on the ground
Russian Twist - did these with feet off the floor
Did stretch from HSC. (You would think that considering how expensive KB DVDs are, they would include a stretch!) I also did one pullup and one chinup.
On Saturday, I went to a lindy hop class and then they had a dance after. East Coast Swing and Viennese Waltz are real calorie burners!
Yesterday - did 3/4 pullup and 3/4 chinup.
Deanie - I just quickly went through the 101 KB workouts. They look tough! I'd like to try try Tabata Interval workout first. I want to do it to try and build up my endurance (which as you can see, still needs a lot of work!) Kudos to you on your great workout over the weekend and today's! I can't believe you fast forward through all the rests!
Gin - Congrats on your eight miles!
Are you enjoying working with the weighted vest? Re dance lessons - Even if DH doesn't go, you should still go. My DH doesn't go either (although not for my lack of trying!). There's always someone who needs a partner. Sorry I couldn't be your instructor!
Have a great day!
