What Was Your Work Out Today?

BeckyBeebs

I follow a 12 week guide that has daily cardio (HIIT/LISS alternating) and then strength circuits. Today was lower and upper body; should also have been 11 minutes of HIIT, but I was too time crunched because I merged two days together since I missed yesterday's gym time to vote. There are 2 circuits each day with 3 moves per circuit. For each circuit, you do 10 reps of each move and then repeat as many times as possible for 5 minutes, rest 1 minute, repeat circuit. Reps escalate to 15 at week 5 and 20 at week 9. Here were my totals for the day:

60 fire hydrant kicks each side
2 minutes of flutter kicks
60 star jumps (killer)
60 alternating jump lunges each side (also killer)
60 basic weighted squats
60 basic weighted squats with leg lift each side
60 90 degree arm raises
60 plank shoulder taps
60 pushups (10 from my knees - still building up strength!)
60 reverse curls to side press
60 standing shoulder flies
60 one-legged push-ups (30 each side) (30 from knees)

Tomorrow is 32 minutes of 5 min run/3 min walk cycles (following a C25K program), then core circuits. Core moves will be: criss cross legs, knee tuck crunches, weighted straight arm climbs, reverse crunches, genie sits and six inch holds.

Today I played 90 minutes of tennis.
Tomorrow, I do my track workout. It's for developing speed. It is supposed to be timed. But I don't bother with that, except for the time for the rests.
It is:
1600 meters (4 times around the track)
2 minute rest
1200 meters (3 times)
2 minute rest
800 meters (2 times)
1 minute rest
Then 200 meter sprints X six. You are supposed to rest only 1 minute between the sprints. I probably take a bit longer. But I also try to run the sprints absolutely as fast as I can.

Is the stair master a workout? It sure felt like it, all fifteen heart-pounding, brow-sweating minutes of it. I’ve increased my time by 5 minutes each of the last three visits to the gym, but on a slow setting for now.

The elliptical kept my arms and legs pumping for 20 minutes after the stairs, then i finished up 15 minutes on the treadmill @3mph.

Rowing machine today:
The 45 min workout on Concept 2's workout of the day page. This time it was even 45 min for me!
6 x 1000m/3 min easy

And because I'm a good PT patient (or try to be more often than not):
Leg press
Leg extension - and before anyone does the "but not safe!" thing, my physical therapist has watched me use leg extension machines for what probably amounts to at least 12 hours at this point (I've been seeing her for both knees for nearly two years). I'm also very good at not pushing myself too hard. If she was worried about me getting hurt she wouldn't have me do it (we joke that if I get hurt because of her she'll get yelled at by my orthopedic surgeon which is a scary prospect ).

Just getting back to "regular" workouts now that race season is over - so this week, to get things going and give my body a chance to adjust, I'm doing week 1 of the Venus program (which is basically a 3-day a week full body ST routine).

Today is actually rest day.

Next week it's back to my 5-day lifting program, picked one that sounded good and will give it a shot for 6 weeks or so. Planning to add some hiking and/or bicycling at least once on the weekend.

I've added a lot of steps to my daily routine, so I'm not too focused on cardio right now, will have more cardio and muscle endurance added back in closer to next year's race season getting going (so end of January/early February timeframe).

Focus T25 Dynamic Core. Absolutely the most burning feel good pain routine ever. 25 min of beautiful torture.
