i am getting my ass kicked.
*sighhhhhhhh*
so in the past two weeks, i've been trying something new. something to change up my regular routine. something to just kind of challenge me in a new way.
what is it?
the tagline?!
"its torture, but it works!"
and?!
they're not kidding.
the class, er.. "class" meets MWF after work at 5...ish. the workouts are done for time, all out as much as you can give, and.. they're just exhausting.
here's what i've been up to with my past 5 workouts...
Monday
5 Rounds for time... (he only had me do 3, since it was my first day.. i got a DNF. bummer.)
20 Lunge Steps (10r/10l)- Sprint Lunge Technique
10 Barbell Thrusters (45 lbs.)
7 Pull-ups
400M Run
Wednesday:
One Round for time (don't remember my time... !)
30 Jumping Pull-ups
25 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (55lb/35lbs)
20 Burpees
15 Box Jumps
10 Barbell Clean & Jerk (135lbs/85lbs)
15 Box Jumps
20 Burpees
25 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (55lbs/35lbs)
30 Jumping Pull-ups
Friday:
One Round for time: (me = 12:37)
30 Pull-ups
50 Thrusters (45lb Barbell)
1000M Row
Monday (two days ago.. i'm still sore from this. omg i want to die.)
How many rounds can you perform in 20 minutes?
(i did 18.. but the "new girl" version, which was 3, 7, 9 of the following..)
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
Wednesday (today):
5 Rounds -- 28:10
Row 500M
Run 400M
so. add in with this waking up to do pilates (20 minute video. damn daisy fuentes and her promo shows. i couldn't resist!)... killing my abs at the gym, and giving myself heart attacks with tae-bo, PLUS this week's new fun and exciting 5K training and?!
like i said. i'm getting my ass kicked.
but i love it!
(so much for taking it easy this summer eh?! but i've got 4 weddings this fall... one of which is my ex-boyfriend of five years' wedding... so you know. if ever there was a reason to look hot... this would be it!!)

You are either going to crush that old boyfriend with regret, or else become permanently memorialized in the "Hot Athletic Chicks" thread on triscoop.com Heck, maybe both.

Ah, reminds me of the days at Officer Candidate School in Virginia when I was in the process of becoming a Marine Officer. It is fun and will make you a better runner!You look hot regardless of your ex bf getting married. Besides your a runner and a marathoner and he will be so envious of you!

21st Cent:you're standing. then you squat down, putting your hands on the floor in front of you, then you kind of jump back your feet so you're in the push-up position. then you do a push up... then you jump your feet back to the squat, and then jump up to the standing position, clapping above your head.that = 1 burpee. they're pretty much horrible in every way imaginable.oh, and the workout is written up on a dry erase board, and the facility isn't that big... so... thats how you know what to do!

What is a burpee ??Sounds like a 'great' workout. I wonder if my fitness center has a similar class... I'll have to check it out. :)

OMG...burpees. I have not done those in YEARS. If it will help, go to it! As for the ex-B/F's wedding, wear the sexy little black dress that will make him melt. **grin**

I don't know what a burpee is but better you than me chicka! So here's my question - how do you remember what you are supposed to do when you are doing it as fast as you can? Hardly leaves time to refer to index cards. I'd be lost!

I saw the word 'Burpees' and I almost doubled over from a high school track flashback...and that's from 25 yrs ago.
