I swear I've been working out. I just didn't get on a computer.
Saturday morning, my cousin Andrew was visiting, so I asked him to join us for our morning workout. He accepted. After about a half mile warm up, I started the cycle, then Liam followed, then Andrew, then Mark.
1- 75 jump ropes or double jumping jacks.
2-wall sits until the jumper is done
3-35 push ups
4- 40 abs
5- 10 alternating lunge step ups, each leg
6- 30 kettle bell swings
7-25 dips
8-myotatic crunch
9-15 pull ups with knee raise
10-20 35lbs DB squat press
11-25 push ups with twist (at raised height, twist your hips and bring your knee to the opposite elbow)
12- 20 inverted push ups. These were hard to do in the barn, but we tried a variation I found where you put your feet on a chair, and make your body into a scissor while doing them. I did not like it. I'm going straight and using a wall next time.
Sunday and Monday just had tinkering type workouts as I had no time to fit in any other actual workouts.
Tuesday night, we did sprints at Vollrath again. We were joined by some youth from the church, and Jason again. There were 7 of us.
1-Alternating sprint jogs 160-175 yards (5 sprints per lap) while you were waiting your turn, you did push ups, squats, burpees, abs, whatever you wanted, and switched any time the next person started their sprints. 4 laps each.
2- High knees sprint drill. There were 8 cones set up around the person, each about 5 yards away. At command, you sprinted to a cone, then sprinted back, then did high knees. 6 reps. The 'rest' period was running up and down the hills.
3-Line drills. Cones were placed 10,15, and 20 yards. We split into two groups, and the first person sprint to the first cone, stop, back pedal through the beginning. Person two is doing goblet squats (with either 40lbs KB or 35 lbs DB) drops the weight and sprints. Person three was doing push up[s, switches to squats. Person one is now doing push ups. Second run was to the second cone, and third to the third.
4-Shuttle. Same thing essentially, but we side shuffled to the cone, then turned and sprint through. The second rep was shuttle the other way, still to the first cone. Then the second, then third.
5-Sprint relay. Adults vs teens. Mark, Jason and I were one team, and Liam led the other team. I set up two cones per team 30 yards apart, and Mark ran to Jason (at cone 2) and handed off a football to him. He sprinted through to me, then I to Mark, etc. First team to get 12 reps wins.
After I got home, I decided I wanted a run was in order, so I ran a 5k.
That is basically what I have done this weekend... oh, and ate like crap. I haven't mentioned my diet recently. When I do it, it works. If I don't it really doesn't work out well for me. I can drop to 175 pretty easily, but graduation parties really kicked my plan in the teeth, and we ran out of eggs. I will attest to the importance of a high protein breakfast immediately upon waking up. Two days of absolute crap did less to lose my ab definition than 2 days of normal eating but without a good breakfast. Use cheat day effectively, avoid most carbs (keep it under 75grams daily), and DO NOT DRINK CALORIES!!!
