I am sure that everyone has heard that expression, no pain, no gain. This is true! I am not describing injury pain, but when I workout it hurts. My muscles burn and I sweat! My face, neck and extremities all turn a blotchy red. Usually, the pain is worst the first 10 or 15 min of my workout. Blessedly, my body loosens up and it feels...good. I though I would post more detailed descriptions of my workouts today. I just started doing Crossfit (which is HARD!!) but also do circuits in rotations.
Crossfit:
60 kipping pull ups (or jump pull ups)
60 ball-toss squats
60 full sit ups
100 lunges (broken into 25's with different arm/ball movements)
50-60 dead lift+over head
100 Mt climbers
30 min Cardio interval
Circuit 1: (as many as possible in an hour)* Right now I can do a circuit in 3:20-3:40.
10 burpies
20 lunges (two types of arms)
10 ball toss squats
20 sit ups
30 seconds jump rope
25 punches
rest 30 seconds, do it again
Circuit 2: variation
10 burpies
10 mt climbers
20 lunges (two types of arms)
20 long jumps
20 sit ups
30 seconds jump rope
25 punches
rest 30 seconds, do it again as fast as possible
For interval cardio days I try for 5 min on medium and 5 min at an all out run. I also alternate cardio with the elliptical and P90X cardio videos at home for at least an hour. I have a "consultation" with the nutritionist tomorrow for a recheck. I may also purchase an exerspy which should help me keep track of intake/outtake more accurately. I am debating taking before/after pics...Yuck.
