It’s nice to start getting back into a routine again. With the holidays there was a lot of different fluctuations in my schedule. The major change is going to be my shift to more running starting on the 30th. I was able to get in three different runs this week. Each of the runs are a lot more intense then the last. It feels good to finish them. I’m looking forward to getting retested by Sara Johnson next week. At that point I’ll see if I’ve made any improvements. I was also able to complete two more workouts with Mike and squeeze in GForce bootcamp taught by Amber.
Workout 1:
The focus of this workout was to work on my upper body strength. The workout consisteted of supersets Here’s the specific routine:
1) 4 sets of flat bench press / dumbbell lawn mowers
2) 4 sets of reverse pull up / straight bar shoulder press
3) 4 sets of alternating bicep curls / tricep kick backs
4)
It was nice to do a more traditional workout. Mike’s going to spend time tracking my weights for this workout and fluctuate up and down over the next few months.
Workout 2:
I’m still getting use to Mike’s style of training, so I didn’t know what exactly to expect going into the second workout. Wow is all I can stay. I got my butt kicked (in a good way!!!).
We headed back to the sport court for some different interval training using boxing. We started with the goal of 2 minutes of a combination of 5 punches. I have yet to make it a full 2 minutes.
Secondly, I completed several 30 second intervals of speed punches on the the training bag.
Next, I was introduced to the dancing ropes. I’ve seen this type of exercise in books and on TV shows but I’ve never actually done them before. The routine consists of holding thick and heavy rope in each had and complete three different motions: 1- alternating arms 2- up and down slams 3- alternating upcuts. Each of these motions are done in 30 second intervals.
