Interval Training: (on elliptical)
3 min #1
2 min #2
1 min #4
1 min #1 - stopped to not have dry heaves
Done.
Notes: Used 6# med ball for the 1st set of BSS.
Tried Rev Crunch holding 6# medicine ball between knees - dropped it onto my chest on the first rep (missed my face nutbar ) - went with body weight after that.
Felt sick after the prone cobras so waited almost 5 mins to start the intervals. Started them, OK through the warm up, did one easy-ish interval, felt really sick again - stopped during the active recovery. Didn't really want to have a vomitastic workout (no offense RW) so I stopped. Probably didn't have enough to eat today or something.

*taking a note to remind me to wrap my extra-long boobs up around my head to provide impact cushioning for when I attempt this*
Planks*...........: 60s, 60s
DB horiz wood chop**: bar/10, bar/10
Notes:
*Used an easier variation of the plank to get a 60s continuous hold.
**Sub'd Corner Twist using just the bar. Did 10 reps per side. I didn't like the floor version and don't like the ball version. This isn't strictly horizontal but it allows me to twist and move the hip properly I think. (Open to other opinions).
In other news:
I got a wicked nocturnal calf cramp on Sat AM - about 5AM - it has been so long since I got one of those I had forgotten just how painful they can be. As an after effect, my calf locked up on me the entire day after that if it got just a little stress. That's why I moved the workout with the FS/PP from Sat to Sun.

When I started doing these it wasn't unusual for me to have my hands up so as to prevent the ball from smacking me in the face.

hehe. I think I was concentrating on a little adduction to "hold" the ball - and inadvertantly did a squeeze that just launched it. Who knew there was a skill to "hold the ball between your knees"?
Hey Lisa, I went hiking in the hills above Summerland. I went with my boss after work. We just meandered the trails, they were easy but it was uphill all the way so I was a sweaty gasping mess at the end! Anyhoo, I added some weight to my pockets w/ pilfered avocados and lemons from the orchards :-0
How are you? Did you start another journal or just lagging here? Come on down (said in my best Bob Barker voice)!!
[gasp - you found me] - just lagging here.
A family member had major surgery in March and while I've been working out sporadically I haven't been logging - but I've been commencing to get ready to start logging again - maybe a new log is in order as well.
Hey, Lisa, just came by to say hello. I love your title as I have 3 kids and have referred to myself as a cat herder in the past. Ineffective cat herder. Anyway. Any challenges starting up around here? : )
Plan for this week:
change work hrs by 30 mins (earlier start, earlier end)
increase NEAT (double time of dog walks, etc)
get breakfast & office (lunch, etc) eats in order
finalize workout plan for next week
Lactate circuits: B. 3 rounds, 12 reps ea;C. 3 rounds, 12 reps ea
no rest within circuit, 1-2 mins between circuits.
B. Mil press, squats, pulldowns, RDL, rev crunches
C. Screw Curls, 1-leg calf, Tri Pushdown, YTWL, Windmills
You were thinking circuits that make you lactate weren't you -
I should write 'lactate inducing circuits' - basically circuits of higher reps (to last 50-70s), low (or no) rest that get your heart pumping and muscles burning - lactate aka lactic acid
As a professional dairy queen, my thoughts immediately went to boob juice. I'm familiar with lactic acid but had never heard "lactate" applied to that specifically.
