Today's workout

Workout #1

5 min warm-up on treadmill
1 min alternating intervals on upright bike/UBE (hand bike)

Workout #2

2 sets of:

Pull ups (20 reps)
115lb Squat (20 reps)
Triple walking lunges w/ 25lb plates in each hand
Push ups w/ feet on stability ball

then

2 sets of:

Stability ball crunches (20 reps)
115lb Leg curls (20 reps)
95lb Shoulder press (10 reps)
52.8lb Kettlebell row (20 reps)

So...I'm sure the first question running through your head is, "Why the two workouts!?" The simple answer is b/c I'm a glutton for punishment. The long answer is that a client cancelled last minute and my co-worker was working out so I decided to join him.

The second question is, "What the hell are Triple Walking Lunges?!" Well, with a normal lunge, you step forward with the right leg, touch the floor with your left knee, then reverse the process with stepping forward with the left leg, etc. Well, in this wonderful version, you step with the right leg, touch the floor with your left knee three times before stepping with the left leg. And if you're wincing in pain just thinking about it, you should be...b/c its even worse when you realize you've reached the halfway point, have to turn around and do it all over again...twice!!!

I think the best part of my day is knowing that some high school football players will be coming in tomorrow and doing the same working I did last Saturday. "What was last Saturday's workout?!", you ask? Enjoy!
