Today's workout was the ishhhh!!!!
I have "done" all the muscle groups this week and I did cardio yesterday. I carried my gym gear and I wasn't going to let that go to waste. We have no spin class, and I am not really an aerobics girl unless it's weighted. There is no interesting kickboxing class or the like so I went online and started browsing for workouts. I got one from fitnessrx which I decided to do.
Interestingly, I seem to have influenced more people to the weights corner. In the middle of my workout, more and more women came and started picking dumbbells and kept asking the in-house trainer what to do with them. Even a senior couple came and picked some weights. The bad news is, they were picking the ones I was using between sets. :-( But I made do.
WARM UP
Step Mill 15 minutes. Was supposed to do 90 steps a minute but I have absolutely no idea what the speed is at that. I was oscillating between 6 and 6.4 kms an hour which I suspect is too slow for 90 steps a minute. Considering this is only my fourth or fifth attempt at the step mill, I think I did okay. Oh, and I only did 6 minutes, WHAAAT? 15 minutes is CRAZZZYYY
GIANT SET 1 REPEAT 3 TIMES
Dumbbell squats 15 Reps
Weighted pop squats 20 Reps
Stationary lunges 15 each leg (I did them weighted)
GIANT SET 2 REPEAT 3 TIMES
Shoulder width squats with arnold press 12 reps
Split jumps on step 15 each leg
Weighted burpees 15
GIANT SET 3 REPEAT 3 TIMES
Body weight squats 25
Weighted squat jumps onto step 10 (Thank God!!!)
Medicine ball mountain climbers 25 each leg
(I also went...eeeh? on the last one)
GIANT SET 4 REPEAT 4 TIMES NO STOPPING
Arnold press 12 Reps
Plate front raise 12 Reps
Lateral raise 1
FINAL SET BURN IT OUT
5000M Row (ok, I only did 1500...I need to improve on my rowing)
Burpee jumps to step 1 minute (I finished these)
This is a workout I will definitely come back to. Challenging plus I did not finished the prescribed cardio work which means I have more to work on.
I burned 700 calories in about an hour...awesome!
