Spin Class. Though this instructor mixes it up in terms of workouts, his goal is punishment. I enjoyed the pain and I have dead legs now. I need some more of these high-intensity workouts.

Working late tonight and hoping to get in a weights routine early tomorrow morning.  I may have to postpone if I'm still sore considering the goal is to swim on Thursday and Friday mornings.

Bike

Trainer Ride. Legs still a little sore from the last two days of running/weights.

Arms, shoulder and back sore.  It almost feels like the day after the first time you start a weights routine.  I'll be sore for days.  I didn't lift heavy but was doing sets of 15-20 with lighter weights.  Ouch....it hurts to type.

November 14

Strength
  • 1h 08m

Difficult, high intensity. Started with 5 minutes jump rope straight into 14 pull-ups, 40 push-ups and 50 lunges with no rest b/t sets, repeat. Then into supersets of multiple back/chest exercises, tricep/bicep exercises, shoulders/back exercises, with lunges/squats after each superset...and then 4 minutes of jump rope every 12-14 minutes to keep HR up. Finished up with some single-leg leg presses on the sled. I had planned to ride spin bike for an hour after this but I was toast. Not doing weights at that intensity for 3 weeks I feel the drop off in recovery b/t supersets.
