comments on first round of stage 2:
These are certainly a step up from stage 1. I love the planks and found the cobra more challenging than it looked.
For the cuban snatch I did the second set facing a mirror to check my form and I had to lower my weights to maintain good form.
I really feel the reverse lung form the box.
It was nice to get back to more core. I liked doing 3 exercises of core for 2 sets.
PS- I love/hated the interval work which I did on the TM. If I kept my rest to 90 seconds in stead of 2 minutes, does it mean I should have gone faster in the sprints? I did go faster after the first one. Here is what I did
#1) 7.5 x 60 sec,rest 4.0 x 90 sec,
#2) 8.0 x 60 sec,same rest ,
#3) 8.0 x 60 sec , 3.8 x 90 sec,
#4 )8.5 x 60 sec,3.8 x 90 sec,
#5) 8.5 x 60 sec, same rest.
#6) 10% hill @ 4.5 for 2 ", short rest @ 0% hill,
#7) 10 % hill again x1", no rest 12% hill @4.5 x1",
rest 2" @ 4.0-4.5.
I am adding in an iTread 30 " sprint WO on 'A' workout days also.
And one other run of my choice on now NROL4W days.
