As much as I enjoyed the workout last week, I disliked this one. This is one brutal set of exercises and as I didn't sleep well last night, I was extra tired today. I did think of not going, but then I would have had to explain that to Karissa, and I didn't want to do that. So, I went.
Today was the same workout as Chapter 24, so you would think that I could easily do it as I did it before. Yeah, not so much. This was one painful workout the first time and it was equally painful this time.
Same two supersets of which both had 3 exercises. And today was a a day where each exercise was repeated 4 times. The first superset was deep lunges, 5 different ladder runs, and one legged lunges with the back leg on the bench. Those final lunges are the worst. The legs are just screaming by the end of it. It was all I could do to complete these. So, in case you are wondering how many I did - 24 deep lunges, 5 ladder runs, and 24 bench lunges.
The second superset was also tough. Again it was 3 exercises to comprises the superset. This time it was 1-legged shoulder presses, followed by 1-armed power rows, and finally tricep extensions while standing on the bosu ball. The reps were 24 for the shoulder press, 24 for the rows, and 15 for the triceps. And again, this superset was repeated 4 times.
So, I was able to get through it - somehow. I now have Thursday to look forward to. I know Thursday is going to be painful as it had some very tough exercises as well and this time Karissa's notes tell me to up the weight and reps.
On a better note, this is a good week for getting some exercise. Monday was golf, today was the gym, Thursday is the gym, Friday is golf, and Saturday is golf. To complete my week, Wednesday is laundry and Sunday is poker. I think I need to find some time in there to go throw some rocks too as curling starts next Wednesday. Yes, you read that correctly. I should have some good posts from the curling season too.
See you Thursday.
