Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 237
Day 237 I decided to join my conditioning group for tonight's workout. It had been awhile since I had joined in for a good lung burning circuit, so I was both eager and a little nervous to jump in.
With a good chunk of my kids having gone back to University, my group has gotten a little smaller. It was fun to have a really big group but from a programming standpoint having fewers numbers made things a little easier. I put together a circuit against the clock that allowed for all of us to use the same type of equipment at once. Having the goal of finishing as quick as possible brought in an element of competition that our previous circuits haven't had.
Today's Workout:
Metabolic Circuit: Complete 3 Round of the following circuit as fast as possible while back tracking through the exercise order.
Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 TRX Inverted Row x 20 Burpees x 15 TRX Inverted Row x 10 Kettlebell Squat to Press x 20 Kettlebell Lunges x 8 per leg Kettlebell Squat to Press x 10 Kettlebell Lunges x 10 per leg Kettlebell Squat to Press x 15 Kettlebell Lunges x 5 per leg Burpees x 20 TRX Inverted Row x 15 Burpees x 10
The circuit was really fun and a lot of fun. I finished in about 7:35. I've never done it before, so I have no reference point as to whether or not that's good or not. I guess I'll have to try it again.

I had a lot of fun with this workout. We worked really hard in a pretty short period of time. I'm was so impressed with the level of fitness of my group. Everyone was performing at a really high level. It made me really proud and excited to see everyone improve so much.
