Workout Update

I feel your pain P-lott about getting up early to workout. It's supposed to be better for you though. Sounds like Monday was a mega workout day. I'll give a brief overview over what I've done the past couple of days:

Friday April 22: Monkey Bar Workout. It was a 15 sec on w/ 15 rest for 10 minutes. One 10 minute set were double kettlebell snatches. I did the 1st four sets with 16K's. Went down to 12 K's for the last 6 sets. The second 10 minute set was alternating between kettlebell swings (12K in each hand) and swats (12K in each hand). I got about 3/4 of the way across the monkey bars. Realized you just gotta go.

This workout killed my legs and just made me generally very tired.

Saturday April 23: Played goalty for about 2 hours. I wanted to do something after, but my legs were shot.

Sunday April 24: Super hung over. Went for a 4 mile run with Jennie. Did it in about 38 minutes. Not bad for my legs being shot and hung over.

Monday April 25: Monkey Bar workout. It was called the gauntlet. Here's what went down. 20 DB Cleans with a 55 lb DBall. 100 Jump Rope(JR) forward. 20 kettlebell press with 16K in each hand. 100 JR backward. 10 Pistol to Russian Lunge on Each leg. 100 JR forward. 20 Body Rows. 100 JR backward. 100 yard powerwheel crawl. Then did an hour of yoga.

Legs feel better today. Thinking about going for a run on the treadmill or doing the stairmaster for 30 minutes followed by some bodyweight exercises. I most def need to incorporate rest more into my routine. I think yoga will be good for that. I also need to start doing some hill and stair workouts. I hate hills and stairs. It doesn't help that Madison Craft Beer week starts this coming weekend. Also, Steve's BP is the weekend of May 7. Time to step up this mess. As Jennie keeps reminding me when I don't want to workout, "Toughmudder!!!". True dat Jennie, true dat.

  1. Maybe, I could record Jennies voice for my morning alarm clock... "Wake up fat ass, you are not ToughMudder enough"...

    Also, I biked home from frisbee in the rain rebuffing peoples offer for rides with, "WeakMudders take rides. ToughMudders sac up and ride home". I felt powerful.

  2. Also, need I remind you that we live in the USofA and we speak in lbs not kgs. just sayin...

    And, I really like the names that MBar uses...Pistol to Russian Lunge. Powerwheel crawl. Makes the workout sound much cooler than I bet it is.

  3. Yeah. The names are ridic. Sometimes though the name is not nearly ridic as the actual exercise movement.
