Hostyle Conditioning - One on One, More torture and a stroll

Well I dropped another 1lb this week, I was a little ill earlier in the week, so I recovered, but workouts were a little slower than normal. After losing almost 8lb last week, the 1 this week validated last weeks big loss, so I'm good :)

Today was another adventure, getting more challenging as we go it seems!

First section:

20 Kettle Bell swings
15 Blue band rows (max extension on the band)
10 1 arm presses - 5 a side (16kg bell)
10 Squats holding the 12kg bell
2 lengths with prowler (mix of high and low horns)

4 rounds no breaks!

Second section - Core

10 pushup planks rows
10 extension crunches pushing to ceiling on ball
10 crunch calf touches on ball

1 minute rest

15 pushup planks rows
15 extension crunches pushing to ceiling on ball
15 crunch calf touches on ball

We then headed out for a 1km stroll

Great way to start the day!

Little sick. lost some weight, back at 'er!

This week I was down 7.8lb. Not bad :)

I walked Thursday night 1.34km, no shin splints! Glad about that!

I didn't make it to my one on one class on Wednesday, I felt a little sick. Throat was scratchy, and my energy was low.

I did finally get back to it this morning with a class run by the evil Brian!

Here is what he had for us!

40 seconds on, 20 off for each move

Complex 1

Squat thrusters (16kg bell)
Bent over rows (right)
Mountain Climbers
Bent over row (left)
Scissor kicks

1 minute rest

Complex 2

Lunge twists
Floor presses (right)
Bench warmers (awful)
Floor presses (left)
Plank

We did all of these for 2 rounds!

Once complete we broke into 2 groups of 7 and did prowler races
Push the prowler one length of gym, then 3 sprawls, then back asap!
2 rounds!
We won! LOL

Needless to say, this was a great morning! haha

Hostyle and a Stroll

Today I did my one on one with Curd. It was a nice crisp morning.

I lost 4.8 lbs in the last week, yay me!

Today's workout went really well actually, the old bones and body is starting to remember how to do these crazy workouts!

Today I did :

Squats
Inchworms
TRX Rows
Sprawls

Reps were 10,7,5,3 of each, no rests, get them done!

Once that was completed, we did a 1km walk.

I found the walk to be challenging, especially the uphill portion at the end.

I got it all done, thats the main thing! :)
