    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! K-box this morning and 2 clients. A relaxing weekend with my family. Later I'll wash both cars since they need them.

    Cardio: kickboxing- 60 min (500 calories)

    Strength: NONE

    Assessment: Calories were high yesterday.

    Short weekend. Had to work today, which screwed up my schedule.

    But Saturday I went to kickboxing class. It wasn't a great workout, as we spent a lot of time on technical stuff. Do you burn many calories doing choke holds? I don't think I do ... so I came home and did spinning intervals for 30 mins. :)

    Weight stable since the last weigh-in.

    Wednesday - woke up with energy for the first time in the last few days. The cold might finally be out of my system.

    Endurance! (Or is it cardio? or strength? or just a killer workout!?)

    5 rounds of bear complex (power clean, front squat, push press, rear squat, push press), 5 full sets per round, pyramid to 105 lbs

    2x3 power clean & press at 115

    5x5 flat bench, pyramid to 210 (failed at 4 reps on the last set), supersetted with 5x8 assisted pull-ups.

    3x8 superset bicep curls and tricep extensions.

    Finished with 10-rep 'countdown' (10,9,8 etc. to 1) of prisoner squats and ab crunches.

    Have fun, Niner (again)!

    Been off the exercise for a couple days.

    Painting a living room is work! Esp. if you were up and down a ladder.


    Sunday: cardio

    The SPARTACUS 400; this is based on the men's health Spartacus workout but using only bodyweight:

    20 prisoner squats
    20 pushups
    10 pull-ups
    12 squat jumps
    14 shoulder jackknifes
    11 inverted rows
    16 forward lunges
    10 diamond push-ups
    10 squat thrusts
    10 chin-ups

    15-20 secs rest between exercises, two minutes rest between circuits, 3 circuits total.

    What? That's only 399 reps? Well then 1 more chin-up for the win!
