Tuesday: Cardio plus

Kickboxing class at the Y:
  • Kind of weak as overall workout...
  • Good "sweat index" though -- it was mostly ladies and most people didn't get the sweat I did, but you were able to personalize your pace and from the jump rope warm-up through the punching sets, push-up exercises and leg lift ab exercises I was probably doing more and faster than the rest of the class so I had the sweat pouring out deliciously...
  • Was fun - I would do it again, but not a full workout -- be prepared to add something else on top of that 45 min... and I did...
Extras (weight room & cardio room monkeyin' around - sloppy, just burnin' energy):
  • Some close-grip "circular" pull ups
  • Some incline DB curls and flyes (light -- 20lb DBs) -- 2 sets of each
  • Some slow/held resistance curls on cable, 50lb, 2 x 5 ea...
  • 2 sets of 5-8 each alternating tricep bench presses (low, by waist, with arms coming down to 90 degrees shoulders>elbows parallel with body) and french presses -- straight bar, 65lb
  • 15 min on the elliptical on "random"-- decent resistance (level 13)
  • some more core stretches and crunches and a final leg stretch
