Holy crap! I spent the day thinking he forgot to send me something or he just got busy. And then? Near the end of the day, after I had already thought of a workout to do, he texted me this:
30 calories on the bike (more explanation later)
20 burpees
10 squats w/weight
5 rounds
HOLY CRAP! So the 30 calories turned into about 1.1 miles on the stationary bike each round - for a grand total of 5.5 miles and 150 calories burned. My thighs were BURNING each time I got off the bike to go do the burpees. My entire body HATES the burpees so I don't need to go into detail there. The squats with weight? Holy losing my form, Batman! I put the barbell behind my neck, slightly lowered onto my shoulder blades and could not keep my form for more than 2 or 3 squats at a time.
However, I did it and I survived. I whimpered as I went upstairs to get my stuff and again when I was coming down the stairs. He's on vacation, so he also sent the guys a workout. I have no idea what they had to do but I told them what I did and they were shocked and thought it sounded hard.
It was especially hard to do without my partner with me. Some of these workouts are made to be done while someone else is there with you - so you can commiserate on how miserable you are and how much you hate The Trainer in that moment.
Time to find some dinner and relax.
