Sunday Bloody Sunday WoD

I got lots of stuff to do today so I did not have a ton of time to work out. What’s worse is that I know have all my Tai Chi material to test so that means I have to practice a lot of that… just in case. Today’s work out was not as intense as Thrusday’s but it still got the juices flowing:

Tabitas (30 Secs, 10 Se rest, 8 Rounds):
1. Flutter kicks (as a warm up)
2. Push-ups
3. Bicycles
4. Squats
5. Sit-ups

Tai Chi 64 x2 and Pau Qua x2 as a cool down.

100 WOD revisited

Back in action after a good kung fu Sat. a.m. class.  I do appreciate Master Joe's teaching style after many weeks with others.

100 dbl unders (2:38)
100 squats (2:38)
100 push-ups (4:27)
100 sit-ups (5:18)

total time 15:01  Felt like vomiting afterward and rather disappointed to see an INCREASE in time over last week's.  Situps are usually a relative breeze but, at the end, they were a bear and I had to take several breaks.

With my new eyesight, I can see the look of anguish on my face so much better in the mirror!

Solo Dungeon WoD

I feel pretty crappy and did no want to work out but I knew I had to do something. I got too busy on Tuesday to do anything before class so I could not wimp out today. So workout was:

Tabitas (30 sec, 10 rest 8 rounds):

1) flutter kicks (mainly as a warm up)
2) Medicine ball sit-ups with a 10lbs ball
3) Wood Choppers with a 10lbs medicine ball
4) Push-ups
5) Bicycles

Tai Chi 64 as a cool down before class and practice all the lower belt long forms after class. I'm starting to remember them again.

100 WOD for time

I'm not great at monring workouts but, considering I only got one other workout in this week I figured I better get on it.

A little walking & stretching +3 minutes easy jumprope to warm up
For time:
100 dbl unders* (estimated time 3:15)
100 sit ups 4:06
100 push ups 4:37
100 squats 2:31

Total time of 14:32

*pressed start on the iPhone stopwatch but must've missed the button--very disappointed when I went to hit lap time and the timer was still at zero.  I've done a conservative estimate of 3:15; it was probably less.

Sunday Brunch WoD

I’m running late today in order to hang out with some friends for brunch so I had to make it a bit short. I tried to focus on the core since I missed out on a lot of that during the week/ Here is today’s workout.

Tabitas (8 rounds 30 Secs WO, 10 secs rest):
1) Single unders jump rope
2) Crunches
3) Lunges
4) push-ups
5) Bicycles

Cool down: Tai Chi 64 x3

Office II WoD

Another Mini WOD in the office. At least I figured how to do more things without touching the floor.

Tabitas 8 rounds, 30 Secs, 10 secs rest:

1) Single under Jump rope
2) Lunges (I noticed that my knee stopped making that funny sound when I do theses)
3) Desk pushups (These are starting to hurt my hands due the sharp desk corners)
4) Bicycles ON my desk. It’s not TOO bad on the back… kinda
