OMG I'm too old WoD

Well it was time for the continue B-day Tabita tradition.  Whoever birthday it is gets a WoD with the time equal to their age.  I need to find a way to get younger so this tradition will get easier. I dub this WoD 4 and 40.

Warm up: 5 mins of Jump-rope.

Tabitas (4 rounds with 40 secs and 20 Secs rest)

• Sit-up
• Push-ups
• 12/10 Lbs Medball Twits
• 12/10 lbs Med ball Toss
• 12/10 Wood Choppas
• Planks

 As a cool down was Tai 64 and 5 sections of Pau Qua.

 

Bring on 40's

In honor of David finally reaching the decade of great wisdom, and fitness, I created a combination of exercises incorporating 40 in as many ways as I could think of:

1. 4:00 of stationery cycling
2. 40 double unders
3. 40 burpees (ouch)
4. 40 situps
5. 40 lunges
6. 40# arm one (with gym equip.; basically a push-press)
7. 40 bicycles
8. 40 squats
9. 40 pushups
10. 40 crunches
11. 40 pull-down thingies in the gym with, naturally, 40 lbs
12. 40 sec plank
13. 40 sec left plank
14. 40 sec right plank

Happy Birthday!

Unmotivated

Well, when I found out David wasn't going in yesterday AND Wyeth didn't want to go in, I decided to take the evening off (I'm a slacker).  I tried to make up for it today but I was feeling less than peppy after getting up at four, driving to Houston and doing a day's worth of programs. 

:20/:10X 8

1. flutters
2. jumping lunges
3. pushups
4. bicycles
5. burpees
6. situps
7. arm 1 with gym equipment

warmed up with 10 minutes of stationery cycling.  Warmed down with a free Budweiser on "guest appreciation night" (hey, they offered free crappy pizza and I restrained myself from that so I can grab a crappy beer without feeling too guilty)

Belated WoD

Well I zoned out posting this since Lucas is the official WoD Sage and the slacker did not show up at last Thursday's WoD so I have to post this myself.  Anyway here after 5mins of Jump Rope this is what we did:

Tabitas 9 rounds 22secs 11 secs rest

• 10/12 lbs twists
• 10/12 lb wood choppers
• Arm 1 
• Mountain Climbers
• Push-up/Dips
• 10/12 Median Ball throw

overdue benchmark

Hadn't done this in awhile and had a short time to workout so:

50-40-30-20-10 of
pushups
dbl unders
situps
squats

5:08, 5:04, 3:53, 2:41 & 1.17 for a total time of 18:02. Not a great time but not bad either.

Did some spear work to warm up

Record turnout WOD

We welcomed Friday-class veteran John to tabata Tuesday.  He promptly overexerted himself and tweaked his lower abs doing the med-ball situps.  Hope he's feeling better by next time.  Hope there is a next time ;-)

Warm-up:

5 min. of jump rope and somewhere around 5-6, 1-min. rounds of bag work apiece.  

:25/:10 x8 Tabatas:

med-ball situps

arm 1

rubberbands

med. ball throws

wood choppers

twisting med ball handoffs

warm down with tai chi 64

tai chi class for david and phil.  Kung fu class for Lucas.  

we're not worthy WOD

Okay, I guess I was overambitious

We started with 5 min. of jumprope, 50 30# push-press, 50 situps and 50 12# wood-choppers
then 40 push-press, 40 situps, 40 woodchoppers, etc.
The plan was to go down to 20 but, mid-workout, we had to modify to stop after 30.

The plan was to do 5 more min of jumprope but we ran outta steam. 

Have to start at the 40/4 min. round next time, methinks.

Still, I got a great workout and then went down to see The Strokes.  Very fun. 

Tabitha the Tabita WOD

Warm up:  Lucas 5 min of jump rope.  David 30 seconds of untangling/tripping over jumprope, 4:30 minutes of jumprope followed by alternating 1 minute rounds of bag work/"mitts" (whatever those things are called).

1. Twists (12/10# medicine ball)
2. Side lunges
3. Elevated push-ups (three rounds) & regular pushups
4. Rubberbands (3 rounds) + situps
5. Mountain climbers
6. ball toss

Pa qua 1 -5.5 to warm down.  I did NOT go to Tuesday class as I had said.  I drank wine and ate a delicious salad.
