Lucas' hotel workouts

NE Texas:  I did a timed workout on Tuesday; hadn't done that in a while.  50-40-30-20-10 of pushups, situps, squats & bicycles in 14:16.  I followed that with 30 minutes of stationary bike which was harder than I thought it would be. 

Tonight I warmed up with 5 minutes of jumprope.  Then I did :24/:12 tabatas
  • sit ups
  • 40# push-press & curls (20#/arm)
  • side lunges
  • burpees
  • captain's chair thingies (supposed to be the best ab exercise of all)
  • 10# swimmers and 50# press thing on the hotel gym equipment
  • jumping lunges
5 min. of bike to warm down

heavy beachball AMSAP

Got a nice new 15# medicine ball thanks to groupon and we welcomed her into our little family of sweaty dudes and random workout equipment.

warmed up with rowing and jumproping then a 15 minute AMSAP:


10 Dips
10 Vups w/medicine ball
10 Burpies
2-3 Pullups
8 Leap frogs

We all got around five rounds in give or take a set or two of exercises.

Followed by 8 minutes of medicine ball stuff (squat throws, wood choppers, horse throws, etc).

G'night...

Lifehacker Speaks our Language...

There was a really god post on LifeHacker about working out with a gym.  We do a bunch of these but they have a few that I have not seen before.  Such as the 100:


Any way the full write up is over here.

Hot as Hades today again.  We are acclimated to the heat in a most amazing way, though.

Warm up with jump rope then a 20 min. AMSAP:

8 renegade rows (20#/hand)
2-3 pullups
5 burpees
10 squats w/40#
10 med. ball v-ups

Roughly 40 minutes of non-stop movement fun.
