Hostyle Conditioning - One on One - Deceiving

This morning I found myself at Hostyle Conditioning doing a one on one with Curd. 10am on Saturdays is my new one on one slot, since my job is starting soon. I will throw in a mobility class on Tuesday nights and get some walks in.

The workout will look like a small one, but it killed me.... literally cant move my arms and legs feel like jello

Here is the workout

5 deadlifts (135lb)
Up and down a flight of stairs
1 down and up

Do all 2x for 4 rounds!
Last round of deadlifts I did 10 reps

Finished with 100 ball slams! Arms felt like lead when I got to 10 of these! LOL

Another great workout!

Hostyle Conditioning - Back in the Saddle

After the cold I just got over, it was nice to get back into the swing of things.
I managed to lose 4.5lb in the 2 weeks I was off... I kept the diet in check and got a couple small walks in, I guess that helped.

Today's workout was the same one that the 7pm kettle bell class did last night.
I was happy to do a workout that a class does. It was very challenging. When you see what I did, it doesn't look like much, but I can attest that it was brutal for me!

WARMUP - Standard stuff

Round one was simple... 5 minutes of a mixed kettle bell bag. Non stop!
2 and 1 arm swings, cleans, clean and presses, and snatches
Curd would just yell what to do as I was going along... 5 minutes killed me!

Next round was deceiving

1 rep right hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch.
1 rep left hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch, burpee

2 rep right hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch.
2 rep left hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch, 2 burpee

3 rep right hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch.
3 rep left hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch, 3 burpee

4 rep right hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch.
4 rep left hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch, 4 burpee

5 rep right hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch.
5 rep left hand swing, clean, clean/press, snatch, 5 burpee

I was dead....

Cardio killed me.

Nice was to start the day!
