Powerwalk - Shin about 90% better!

I went a little further than normal today and my shin felt great!

I am happy it is recovering.

I went 2.51km in 28:45, not my fastest time, but the extra distance was great.

Hostyle Conditioning Class - a little of everything

Today was yet another installment of the Hostyle way of life. It was curd, Shane and I.

We did some old moves as well as a new one. Tabata was once again utilized.

Here is what we did..

30 seconds on and 30 seconds off of squats. All types. Berzerker, prisoner, weighted with sandbags, weighted with bar and free for all.

5 rounds in total

We then did partner wheelbarrows. As well as rolls on the exercise ball. This was all new to me, and very challenging.

We did these for a few rounds.

We then did a couple of tabata kettle bell complexes.

First was half tabata's of kettle bell one arm swings

Then we did shoulder presses

Last segment was full tabata of alternating and double handed bent over rows. 8 full rounds of these.

That was it 30 minutes to complete.

Was a great workout.

Powerwalk - Normal again!

Well my shin has finally recovered. I kept my walk to 2.14km to be safe, no need to push things now. I walked at a good pace. I felt like I was walking about my max at this time.

I finished 2.14km in 22:42, pace of 10:37 per km... getting there...

I am glad things are back to normal!

Powerwalk - Almost back to normal

My leg is almost back to normal. Around the 1km mark again, I felt something and figured it would be another second half of pain, but I was pleased to notice the pain passed and I was able to continue.

2.11 Km in 23:02, almost where I want to be!

Hostyle Conditioning - one on one, some oldies and more cowbell, I mean Kettle Bell!

I was anxious to do my one on one today, as I was feeling a little blah and needed a kickstart to my week. With the sore leg, I really didn't attack the power walks like I wanted too.

Today we did some old moves and some new ones! It was good to get back into some challenging moves!

Here is what I did:

First section was challenging

2 handed and 1 handed kettle bell swings
40lb sandbag clean and press
2 handed bent over rows with 2 kettle bells
Forward lunges

30 seconds of each followed by 1 minute rest
5 rounds

Next section was all kettle bell work, including a new move.

Beginner windmills, 12 reps, 6 a side
figure 8's and wrap arounds, 20 reps, 10 of each

3 rounds

That was it, 28 minutes to complete.

Felt really good!
