More fun than a stick in the eye

[Veronica]

but just barely more fun.

Drop set bicep curls:

10 reps with a 50 pound bar
15 reps with a 40 pound bar
20 reps with a 30 pound bar.

That's a lot of weight to move around.

I'll take the stick .

Good work, V!

Thanks!

I'm surprised my biceps aren't sore today.

Hips and glutes are sore from one legged burpees with a shoulder press.

I just finished up Spinervals Recharge video. It's a good one for me when I'm not feeling particularly motivated to get on the trainer at 5 AM. It's funny how some mornings I'm just feisty as all get out and I'll do the hardest video I have. And other mornings... not so much.

Spinning definitely helps alleviate my muscle soreness from weight work.

That is indeed a lot of weight - sounds like the same level of effort for our "squat a ton and run" workout. I still think I would take it over the stick though

Wednesday is leg day.

The fun round today was:

50 lunge jumps holding a 6 lb medicine ball over your head
30 1 legged leg press @ 230 lbs, repeat for other leg
20 kettle bell swings with 26 lb kettle bell, followed by 40 mountain climbers, repeat 2 more times

3 sets of this. Boy, am I hungry!

That is one good leg workout, no wonder you were hungry Your fun round today includes two of my three favorite things (leg presses and KB swings - deadlifts are my third favorite thing). I like the sounds of the lunge jumps, we do them but not with an overhead weight. I am going to remember that for when I am cleared for over-head stuff again...

[Veronica]

Today's workout

3 minutes of jump rope
1 minute of push ups - repeat 3 times

My push up count was 22, 26 and 30 - real push ups.

Did some ab work - leg lifts and crunches holding a 45 pound bar over my head. Oy!!!!!

Then we did some weird kettle bell figure 8 things around your legs. 30 of those followed by a minute of burpees. Repeat 3 times

My burpee count was 20, 24 and 30.

Tough shoulder workout today. I hope I don't need to write much on the whiteboard!

Veronica

[Irulan]

How many is that? That I can finally get to 100 is a big deal for me.

[Veronica]

I don't know, I wasn't counting.

When she has me go for just a minute I can get 250 - 300 jumps, but I didn't even try to go that fast. I would guess 150 a minute.

Veronica

[Irulan]

I have to go pretty slow or I trip over the rope and my feet.

Veronica

Are you sure about that, 250 a minute is 4 jumps per second....that would be pretty impressive.

[Veronica]

Yep, it's flying! I need to videotape it. The rope sounds really cool as it whizzes through the air.

I would love to see that if you ever get a chance to tape it. I am SUCH a klutz where this is concerned, but I've not done it for over 40 years...
