20 minute AMRAP

3 stair runs
12 thrusters (15# db each hand)
20 v ups

3 full rounds + 3 stair runs.

My lungs hurt from all those stairs!

The first question out of my mouth as he wrote this down was “are you mad at me or something?”  Holy crap.

10 db push press
20 squats
10 push ups
20 butterfly sit ups
10 ring rows
5 rounds
22:19

Just what the doctor ordered!  There wasn’t too long of a recovery period, but it did kick my butt quite a bit.

My motivation for working out has been flailing lately.  There’s been a lot of stress in my life the last few weeks and instead of embracing what I know will help me through it, I’ve kind of isolated and avoided things.  I’ve forced myself to workout the few times that I have the last few weeks.  I made a promise to myself I’d change that this week.

10 burpees
20 v ups
30 Russian twists
40 squats
50 lunges
3 rounds

It was too terrible, but it kicked my ass accordingly.  Which is exactly what I needed.

It seems Wednesdays are the days he goes easy on me….

20 squats
15 sit ups
10 push ups
10 rounds

It gave me a good workout, but it was fairly easy and I finished it in 13:08

I forgot to post yesterday!  ooops!  Could be cause it was kind of ugly and I hated it!

25 calories on bike
100 squats
50 push ups
100 sit ups
50 ring rows
25 calories on bike

10 box jumps (20″)
10 push ups
10 ring rows
10 sit ups
15 minute AMRAP

I did 5 + 30 reps (5 rounds + 10 box; 10 push; 10 ring)

Felt good.  Didn’t quite get my butt kicked like I wanted to.  The guys were busy helping with something so the Trainer couldn’t make one up for me.

Had a pretty stressful week, so I’m kinda glad (in a twisted sort of way) that he only went easy on me one day this week.

2 stair runs
50 shoulder press
2 stair runs
50 jump squats
2 stair runs
50 v ups
2 stair runs
50 jump ropes

It looks worse on paper then when I was actually doing it.  I kinda like these kinds of workouts.  Kicks my butt, doesn’t take forever to get it done and feel like I got a good workout.

Although my shoulders are not digging it the day after, I liked this workout.  I also tweaked my left ankle a bit and it’s off and on sore since then.  Taking it easy this weekend.

I got distracted and forgot to post…
