Workouts

Many people think I workout 24/7.  And that is far from the truth. 2-4 days a week, when I go train with my coach in the dry gym, I spend 2 hours in the gym but part of that time we spend stretching and talking. We are not sweating the whole two hours. Our gym routine usually consists of 30-45 mins of warming up which sometimes consists of very light weights, like 2.5 lbs, or stretching. About 45 min- 1 hour is weight lifting, and we are not doing lights weight. We usually have a good amount and lift till we can't lift any more, or as we call it, till death. Then the last 10-20 mins we do a X Challenge. This is the part I dread. We do a list of exercises for time, and it mostly involves just body weight. This is the part we leave wanting to puke, but its good because we got our cardio in, which I consider Hell. I HATE cardio with a passion.

Other then the days I go to my trainer, I am lucky if I spend an hour working out, whether lifting weights or running. I am going to post my workouts, because so many people have the wrong impression of what I do, or ask what I do. I do not overtrain. I workout smart. So here it is.

- Dry gym with coach
Rotator cuff warm up with 2.5 lb weights
Dirty 30 (30 sec wall sit, 30 jump lunges, 30 sec wall sit, 30 pyramid pike jumps, 30 sec wall sits)
20 pike jumps followed by a sprint uphill x 3 for time
Clean gym
* pyramid pike jumps are quad killers. Feet and hands on ground and you jump your booty to the air

- Run and Dry Gym
I went on a morning run with my dad in the mountains
Dry Gym
3 x 16 crunches (on back, feet and hands in air, a crunch is when you pull your feet and hands straight up to the sky at the same time, extra killer)

16 crunches, 16 hollow rockers
32 crunches, 32 flutter kicks
32 crunches, 32 hollow rockers
16 crunches, 32 scissor kicks

10 sit ups with 25lb weight behind head (I got 2 in without cheating)
50 sit ups with 25lb weight, when we were at the top, we swung the weight around our head then laid back down
5 MINUTE PRONE HOLD (plank)- first time in a long time I was almost in tears. If any of us came down, we had to start over
50 toes to bar with straight legs (you hang from a bar and bring your toes to the bar with straight legs, bending at hips)
50 pike ups from bar (hang from bar and bring your feet at a 45 degree angle with straight legs
50 base position (knees slightly bent) w/ 35lbs weight moving around your head

Rest day. When my legs hurt, it hurts to laugh because of my abs and I can feel my shoulders, I know it is a rest day

Dec 13, 2012
Dry Gym
Way too much for me to remember.  Lots of squats and arms with weights. Probably 10 sets of 50 reps with arms. We did a dirty 30. Then a heavy set of 60 involving arms and legs. Trying to decide if I will need another rest day tomorrow. We will see. Good workout though.

Light jog
This was technically a rest day, but I was sore from the day before and knew I was snowboarding the next day, so I stretched out with a run and did some stairs

Snowboarding
5 hours of snowboarding :)

Dec 16, 2012
much needed rest day from the day before

Treadmill
Ran/ walked uphill for 20 mins
Dry Gym
Rough day at dry gym. I don't know if it was extra hard or if I was still hurting from the snowboarding trip, but I was struggling. Lots of legs with weights. Cardio involved 60 somersaults on a mat for time :/
