Wednesday: Interval Training

At upstairs track at Y (I think prob about a 50m track). Stretched and warmed up with some jump squats and a few sprint laps.

Ben's "B.S.S. Circuit" (Burpee, Swing, Sprint)
  • 10 Burpees
  • 10 Med Ball Slams
  • SPRINT
  • 15 DB Swings
  • SPRINT
  • 10 Knee Jumps
  • 10 Grasshoppers
  • SPRINT
REPEAT 5x. FAIL: Only got 4 rounds of this done b/c was DYING. And it took me like 25 gd minutes. This shit was REAL... it was the DB swings that made it killer -- right in the middle of the circuit like that. If it was only 10 swings and maybe even another exercise in there on top like jumping jacks or something that would have made whole thing easier -- it was reps 11-15 that were real hard. Heart was pounding and workout was strong so that was good, but definitely try this again and aim for the full 5 circuits.

NOTE RE: TRACK: Make sure you have an empty track. It's a PAIN trying to sprint it with other people on it -- need to time where they are when you start. I just went for a lap on one of sprints and just jogged it out b/c of that and realized my folly so gave it a good extra sprint to make up for it BUT most sprints would have been better with more space to myself.

Finished with some wall ball and wall medicine ball throws (one-arm punch/press "passes," two-handed twist throws...)...

Weigh in: 178
