Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 211
Day 211 My plan today was once again to join my conditioning group for another circuit training workout. However, like last week we had an uneven number so I had to sit out to make space. One of my stations required a partner, so an even number was necessary. It was looking like I would have to come up with something else to do after work, but just as we were about to start our 3rd and final round of the circuit, I had another participant show up. Her and I were able to partner up, so I added another 2 person station.
Today's Workout:
Conditioning Circuit: 60 seconds per exercise
- Spin Bike (Standing / Gear 24)
- Kettlebell Front Squat to Overhead Press (12 kg Kettlebell x 2)
- Med Ball Jumping Jack (4kg)
- Band Resisted Sprinting
- Fit Ball Alphabet Plank
- Battle Ropes
- Skater Bounds
- Push-ups
- Chin-ups
- Fit Ball Crunch
- Split Jumps
- Squat Jumps
- Bench Step-up / Knee Drives 30 second per side
I only managed one round of the circuit, but it was still quite difficult. I think I maybe should have re-thought the split jump, squat jump, step-up sequence. That much jumping and quad heavy work could maybe have been spread out a little better. However, I was really happy that I was able to get a workout in with the group. I won't see them for a couple weeks, so it was nice to join in and have fun with them. We also did the following yoga inspired core workout after the circuit. I don't really know any yoga names, just a few exercises that I find really challenging.
Narrow Squat Arms Overhead - 20 sec Single Leg Balance / Straight Leg in Front - 20 sec Single Leg Squat - 10 reps Stationary Lunge / Chest on Thigh / Arms Extended - 20 sec Push-up Lower - 20 sec
Repeat the same sequence on the other side
Only one more day until I'm on vacation. Tomorrow's workout will be last day of heavy stuff before I go away. I don't want to be too sore for my flight, but I do want to get in some good strength work before I go away and spend a couple weeks of what will likely be mostly cardio and body weight based exercise.
