AM workout- (Was late again, but only by 5 minutes) Warm-up run followed by 100 steam engines and some squats.

The cool thing about today is we kind of did something very similiar to the very firsat day. We broke up into 3 groups of about 7 or so.

My group was with Melanie, Luis, Tessa, Allen, Brenda and Craig. We circled up and did 20 leg kicks to the front, 45 degrees outwards and 20 more stright out to the sides. Then we did overhead side punches while in a squat (those are soooooo great for the sides. I gotta remember to do them on my off days), and then we did 'Christmas trees': Throwing our hands overhead, center, spread center, then downward, repeated 20 times. We continued on like this until it was our time to rotate. We all switched off on which one we led. Margaret made me lead the kicks at first cause she still calls me the 'Vegas showgirl'. I think we got to each lead one thing at least once.

The second station was tough! We had to lay down and reach up to a bar and do pullups; keeping my body straight was so hard that I couldn't get the full motion in. So, I started to keep my knees bent and I could really pull myself up. Then we did a flexed arm hang. I couldn't keep the whole fles, but could hold for 10 seconds, then we ran a sprint back and forth down the length of the parking lot. I did 10 pushups on the low bar, ten on the medium bar and then back to the rotation. One thing that was really nice was that comaraderie can really be built during these times. Like Allen helped me with my pullups by spotting me. I also 'raced' Margaret across the parking lot. I got a lot of great encouragement from Melanie and vice versa.

The third station was a variety of things...1) Kettle bell presses and swings 2) Overhead keg lifting (that was tough for me; kept thinking I might throw something off in my body) 3)tire step ups 4) tire pushups 5)Tire dips and 6)1 run up the trail of tears.

I did all of the stations twice except for the third one.

After we were done, I helped bring one of the kettle bells back and then returned to the group for finalstretching and breathing exercises with Angela.

GREAT workout! Looking forward to the PM Workout
