Monday

Twenty Minutes of Hell

This weekend I decided we had strayed into longer workouts, 25+ sets & 30+ minutes, because what were doing was not intense enough. We were not sufficiently incoherent at the end. So Monday we turned it up a bit. Well, a lot.


This may be our hardest workout ever. Halfway through we considered resting, but decided against it. Instead we swapped the order, so we could make it to the end. (Well, I tried to swap them, but was so lost that I failed & Rich had to fix it. Then the buzzer went off.) This one got ugly.

Monday's Workout
We did 20 sets with a timer: One minute for each set.

Russian Twist x 26

We both collapsed on the floor. Eventually we were able to put the equipment up and limp out. Rich said, "That's exactly what we need," and later, "We'll be feeling this one for a couple of days." Which pretty much sums it up.
