Day 24: Short But Not Sweet

Another home workout today!  The sun was shining; it was warm out; I loved it.  

Here was the workout:

***TRX Row: 4 sets of 15

Circuit (30 seconds each exercise with 15 seconds transition) x3:

1-Leg Deadlift @ 30 pounds

Wide Pushup

***Split Jump

***Unicycle

Circuit (30 seconds per exercise; 1 min rest after each circuit) x3

***Car Lift

Jump Squat

Walking Pushup

High Pull (alternating arms)

Thoughts:

TRX Row: I was going for fluidity and form for this set.  I felt a lot of struggle towards the end, but I kept up my form, and kept going as hard as I could.  If my form was starting to suffer, I adjusted my angle (that's the beauty of the TRX; you can control how much of your body weight you're using).

Grrr!

Circuit 1:

1-Leg Deadlift: Speed was the key here.  And when you're trying for speed on one leg, even with a lighter weight, proves to be a huge challenge.  

Wide Pushup: This is a variation of pushup intended to hit the chest more.  Simply place your hands wider than shoulder width apart, and go down.  Just be sure to not go down as far, as this pushup places more stress on your shoulders.  For me, I was limiting range of motion because of my past history with them (for more information on my shoulders and what they taught me, click here).  Listening was the real key here, and it seemed to work pretty well.  

Split Jump: Speed was the key, and boy did I feel it.  Really went for killing myself on this one.  My legs felt like rubber.

Unicycle: Ow...I hate this exercise.  It's soooo painful.  But the things that we hate the most are usually the things we need to work on the most.  

Dumbbell Floor Press: Speed was again the key, and developing the lactic acid build was also significant.  Both were successful.  

Circuit 2:

Car lift: Ow...simply put.

Jump Squat: Doing these for speed was a definite challenge.  Feel the burn!

Walking Pushup: Remember this bad boy?  And yes I did it with the kettlebell!

Start here...

Do a pushup...

Start the walking process...

Go to the other side...

...and another pushup!

High Pull: Just alternate your arms.

Alternate those arms!

For tomorrow, more workout time!
