Mat Drill Monday

We joke that our workouts are a lot like the off-season football workouts we both did years ago. Today's was especially so.

Five Circuits
Bear Crawl x 20 yards
Plank x 40 secs
Step ups x 5/5 @ 18"
Feet-up Pushups x 10 (55 cm ball)

The Bear Crawl was exactly what we wanted in terms of functional, exhausting, and wearing us down.

I still hate planks.

We felt the bear crawls and the planks all the way through Thursday.

Full Body

The idea today was to work multiple body parts with each of 4 exercises.
It's one of those that doesn't look like much written down on a post-it note, but by the time we were done we knew it was a good one.

Thursday
Bicycle Crunches x 20
Renegade Row + Pushup x 5 @ 10#/10#
(pushup on dumbbells, then a row with each hand)
Dumbbell Clean and Press x 5 @ 30#/30#
Lunge Twists x 5/5 @ 25# (plate)

Huh. How about that?

Today I ran 1.2 miles in 15:15. The farthest I have run since leaving the Army 21 years ago. A mile without stopping is becoming a regular thing. Another line has been crossed.
