Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 321

Day 321 For some reason after the weekend, I woke up more tired than I had expected. I guess I didn't sleep very well last night. Oh well, no one likes Mondays right. Despite being tired my body felt good. My typical aches and pains weren't talking to me today which was nice.

For my workout tonight I joined my conditioning group for a Martin Rooney style Hurricane workout. I like Hurricanes because they get a lot of work done in a short period. They're a nice mix of high intensity cardio and strength.

Today's Workout:

Equipment:

Spin Bike 20 lb Dumbbells

Round 1:

Standing Spin Gear 22 (Until Partner Finished Dumbbell Exercises) Dumbbell Thrusters - 20 reps Alternating Dumbbell Lunges - 10 reps per side

3 sets

Round 2:

Standing Spin Gear 22 (Until Partner Finished Dumbbell Exercises) Dumbbell Deadlift Upright Row - 15 reps Dumbbell Renegade Row - 5 reps per side

3 sets

Round 3:

Standing Spin Gear 22 (Until Partner Finished Floor Exercises) Push-ups - 20 reps V-sits - 20 reps

3 sets

My group and I were thoroughly cooked by the end of the workout. Hurricanes typically use a treadmill for the cardio component. We didn't have access to treadmills, so we used the spin bikes instead. The worked quite well. The intensity maybe wasn't quite the same as doing an inclined sprint on a treadmill but the combination of tired legs from cycling then doing squats and lunging really challenged our muscular endurance.
