2015 Exercise Log/Challenge

[Catrin]

Good competition training session this morning. We had a new person which meant that we took close to 40 minutes stretching so our coach could instruct her...but we ran longer and he proceeded to kick my butt with comp lifts. The shoulders have come right along since I stopped rowing! Apparently I can row for distance, or focus on kettlebell sport, but not both at the same time. My coach said rest days the next two days since I've worked hard the last three.

Sick of hiking, no classes at the gym, and my trainer is not set up yet. No snow, either, but an impending little storm that will turn to rain by 10:30 PM. We went out to breakfast and then grocery shopping. Finally, at 2:30 I got into my exercise clothes and went up to my exercise room. I did a 6 minute warm up of running in place, jump roping, and jacks 2X and then did the Cycle-Core Functional Fitness DVD. All in all, about 35 minutes. I could have made it longer by doing more cardio in between the sets, but, I wanted to take it easier.
The dry roads make me long for my bike, but it was 25 and breezy, gray skies, and just freezing today. Tomorrow is going to be 56, but rainy. If there's any window at all, I'll be outside after spin class at 7:30 AM. Because after that, it's going down to like 0 F on Thursday.

Ick, same weather here. 0 F Wed night, then below that on Thursday. Considering we've been warmer than normal for most of December it will be a shock to the system. Monday, back to the office in almost 2 weeks and it will be a high of 17 F. Come on spring! I am considering taking workout clothes to my office for this part of the winter so I can put them on under my work clothes when I leave for my evening training sessions. I hate to leave my clothes in the car in these temps, and the gym where I train kbs is COLD!

I also got my shopping done today after working out, and went to see "Into the Woods".
