Default Thursday: 01/24/2008: Total Body Conditioning (cardio)

1-hour class.

I'd never been to this class but wanted to move today. This class has an upper body/core strength component that I performed with 5-lbs weights. Each exercise was done 1 set of 4 with a 10-cnt eccentric, 2-sec hold, 10-cnt concentric style.

Strength:
  • bicep curl
  • preacher curls on ball
  • triceps extensions on ball
  • tricep kickbacks
  • standing reverse flys
  • lateral raise
  • hammer curl
  • crunches on ball
  • reverse crunch
  • bicycles (really liked this one with the slow count)
Cardio: 30-minute kickboxing. Liked the 30-second front/back kick series followed by 8-count recovery. Hated the 1-minute jacks (boring)

Cooldown: about 7-8 minutes of yoga.

Really like this format because get stretch-cardio-flexibility in one hour. I would go again if it weren't held at stay-at-home time. Ended the class sneezing. Came home, still sneezing and blowing nose. Implementing ward off sick pampering.
