I am not sure whether or not Lisa has done the prescribed workout for today or not. I know that with the Thanksgiving and other things there were some misses.
So the workout for the day is:
30 Turkish Get ups for time (15 per arm)
If that has already been done or if you are in the mood for a tougher workout or a double day the next one coming is a bit tougher.
Run 1 mile
25 burpees
50 CF Pushups
75 Situps
100 Air Squats
Run 1 mile
With my new injury I should be able to do the TGU workout. I am not sure how burpees and pushups will go. I may sub in box jumps and maybe shoulder press for those two if I feel any throbbing during the warmup.
I painted the girls toe nails today. My Chemistry professor told me to wait on my quiz as she is going to answer my questions in the morning. I think I have figured most of it out with my intensity and focus. That and a thumb that kept me "out of the gym" today. I made Gwen wash the dishes because I am supposed to keep my wound dry. I might have to milk it on that front.
I got the skinny on canning from my father and as soon as I buy some jars will send you (Lisa) some cranberry. If that goes well then perhaps I will can up some more stuff.
Go nimrods! That's what we gotta do. I loved that commercial, but have no idea why it just came to mind.
Well, this post will be just about perfect and then some!
ReplyDeleteOn Friday, 25 Nov 11, the day after Thanksgiving, I did the chipper workout.
On Saturday, 26 Nov 11, the day after Friday, I did both the Turkish Getups and the max load push press.
I'll blog about both days here!
Chipper:
-Run: On the treadmill, of course. Stayed between 5.0 and 6.6 mph. Left knee started to hurt. Ugh.
-Burpees: My favorite!
-CF pushups: I did them all full, although I wanted to go girl.
-CF situps: No GHD here, so I did 25 mat, 25 high incline and 25 medium incline.
-Air squats: This took some time. That's a lot of squatting. And since I'm displaced at the moment, I've been relegated to using western toilets.
-Run: This time, I slowed it down a little. Stayed between 4.5-6.0 mph. Knee a little better.
On to Saturday!
Turkish getups: Wow, they were ugly. No kettlebells here, so I used a Pennell-style twist-on-the-safety-collar dumbbell as the lowest weight they have here is 20 lbs. I'm guessing this makeshift dumbbell was 12-15 lbs. Good weight. I found that the TGUs were easier on the right, but more technically correct on the left. I need to watch the demo again.
-Max push press: I went for 80 lbs. I didn't feel comfortable going any heavier without a spot. I probably could have gone higher (85-90 lbs) with help.
That's it. I make it a point to start out with a Greg Amundson Warmup, which I will heretofore abbreviate as GAWU. I also have been working on my yoga, incorporating several sun salutations in the AM!
I may workout again tonight, but don't count on it. I think tomorrow is overhead squats and double unders. Whew. I need to prep.
7:54 with 18# KB for the TGU. Haven't done the chipper yet. I want to do it Rx'd so I am waiting for the thumb to allow burpees. I did some pushups today and I am compensating with core strength and fatiguing quickly.
