AM Workout- This workout was very similiar to what we did... was it Tuesday morning this week? 3 stations, in three groups.

I did better on the flexed arm hang today. I think because I had my palm turned inwards instead of facing away, which I did last time. I was definitely able to hang for 10 seconds, not too much of a problem; it took effort, but not a problem.

We had Rudy in our group. I think this is the first time I ever got to be in Rudy's group when we break into groups. It made a difference to have him there to push me to do 20 pushups on the big tire and then dips. He is really good at being aware of what other people are doing in the other groups at the same time. Like, when we were doing the sprint/runs... He'd call out to someone that 'he sees everything' and call out to them to go deeper with their squats or something like that.

Oh, I was able to do a couple decent keg lifts today. I guess the key is to use the legs as you flick it over your head...it's tough to keep the form, so I only did about two.

At the cool down, Rudy told us that very soon the RR website will have Hero Living Logoes items. Everyone seemed really excited about it. We all got really fun and jovial about things. Laughing about an RR doll that yells at you... "You're not tired!" and hearing Sal in the background yelling "Peter your baby is so 'stinkin' beautiful!". Just funny stuff that we all can realate to, having been in this group.
Good group.


PM
Sal ran the group tonight and it was a somewhat 'small' class. Less than 20 tonight. I guess that is what happens on a Friday night.

Well, Sal worked us.

The warm-up was easy enough, but nothing is really totally easy, always get the sweat going on. 50 jumping jacks were in there and 100 steam engines.

We were to do 7 3 minute intervals. I think that is right. In the 3 minues, he would call out 'Go', or 'defense' (I think that was it), or steam engines, or pushups, or flutter kicks, or climb the rope, or toe touches. SO whenever he yelled one of those things, we had to do them. If someone got it wrong (like simon says) we'd have to drop and do 10 pushups.

When he yelled 'Go'!, it was time for us to do the combination he taught us. The first combo was right left, knee, knee. The next combo was similiar, but added the hook. The next comobo added the uppercut. The last combo, and he stuck with this for most of the class, was four rapid punches and then two knees. We ended the class with 'power' 2 punches and 2 knees. That was fun. I heard myself breathing hard on my punches and calling 'ha' on my knees, but I didn't care, it was giving me the energy to put some power into it :)

Tomorrow! Workout #7 for the week at Tamarack! I bet it will be tough, but I am ready! I think...

Why am I working out so much? Because we don't have much time left and I still have a layer of fat on my belly that needs to go. It jiggles when I run in place for speed, and that will just not do!
