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!

Thursday April 26 - Day 282

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

2 stair runs

100 butterfly sit ups

2 stair runs

100 push ups

2 stair runs

100 squats

2 stair runs

It took me 30:52 but I finished it all.  It kicked my ass!

Tuesday April 24 - Day 281

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.

Monday April 23 - Day 280

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.

Wednesday April 19 - Day 279

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

Tuesday April 18 - Day 278

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

Monday April 16 Day 277

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.

Friday April 13 - Day 276

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.

Thursday April 12 - Day 275

I got distracted and forgot to post...

2 stair runs
25 calories on bike
30 Russian twists
5 rounds

Ouch.

Wednesday April 11 - Day 274

I almost forgot to post.

50 squats
50 lunges
50 push ups
50 sit ups
2 rounds

He went easy on me today.  Which I am not complaining about, trust me on that!  After the first two workouts of the week, today was awesome.

Tuesday April 10 - Day 273

The workout today made me want to cry.  And I almost threw up.  However, at the end of it?  I felt much more relaxed than when I started.  Mission accomplished.

2 stair runs
25 cal on bike
10 burpees
10 deadlifts
4 rounds

I used the kettlebell (70 pounds) for the deadlifts because I didn't know if the guys would be use the other bars for their workout or not and didn't know if I would get in their way.  The kb dead lifts seem to be harder, even though it's a lighter load.

Monday April 9 - Day 272

I was hoping he'd give me something to help alleviate the stress I've been experiencing since Thursday of last week.  You'll notice I missed Thursday and I was off Friday so I didn't workout.

20 wall balls (small one)
15 push ups
15 knee ups
20 ring rows
5 rounds FAST
time: 29:03

Yeah, that whole fast thing can bite me.  lol  I would have gone faster, but I noticed my hands kept going numb while I was hanging from the pull up bar doing the knee ups.  I asked him if this was normal and he said yes.

I was quite pleased he actually told me which wall ball to use today.  I told him that my face and I thank him for that.

This workout kicked my butt and it is just what I needed.  I went into the basement gym feeling tense and on edge.  I walked out exhausted and relaxed.  Exactly what I needed.  Looking forward to tomorrow's workout.  If I can lift my arms that is.

Wednesday April 4 - Day 271

I didn't hear from him on Wednesday, so I made something up:

10 jumping pull ups
10 ring rows
10 push ups
10 jump squats
7 rounds

I kicked my own butt!  I ended up skipping yesterday and today I was off work so I didn't work out.

Tuesday April 3 - Day 270

The Trainer got an earful.  He also teased me horribly for not being able to catch the 20# ball yesterday without using my face.  Nice.  Jerk-o!  Anyway, he had me laughing and then he gave me my torture:

30 walking OH lunges (10#)
20 burpees
10 cal on bike
5 rounds

Holy noodles, Batman!  Noodles.  That's exactly what I feel like, a big clump of wet noodles.  It kicked my ass!

Monday April 2 - Day 269

Oh Monday.  How I detest thee.

20 wall balls
30 v ups
50 jump ropes
5 rounds
time: 26:44

The first 6 minutes of this workout was spent trying to figure out how to throw a 20 pound ball that I couldn't catch with my right hand up onto the mark on the wall for wall ball shots.  *sigh*  I finally switched to the smaller 12 pound medicine ball.
