Tabatas w/Balls

Good news for David on the health front:  in 5 years he has maintained weight  and impressed his doctor with his overall fitness.

We have definitely managed to step up our workouts over the summer despite the heat.  I really think we've just acclimated to it and, over the previous 4-5 days, I was moving furniture 109 degree heat like a champ.  Still room for further improvement, of course, but I am feeling at an all-time high as far as fitness goes.

After perusing YouTube for medicine ball exercises we decided to to a whole tabata set with medicine balls:

:23/:12 x 8

1. pushups w/medine balls
2. situps w/medicine balls
3. Squat throw
4. "sling throw" (standing with shoulders facing and throwing it ACROSS body)
5. overhead/under leg pass (didn't work so well)
6. v-ups

Warmed up with jump rope, warmed down with rowing and ball toss

tai chi class for David afterward and 1.5 hour kung fu class for Lucas at 7:30.  I have jelly-legs even now at lunch time the next day...
