Week eleven, Workout #32

Strength day! Wednesday brought less cardio intensity but it was made up for with weight.

We warmed up as normal with a run and active stretching, etc. Thereafter we got right to the dumb bells. 2x25 we're the order of the day. Starting with them held straight down we did reps of deep squats. After those we did more :) but added curls; so squat, curl, 1...squat curl, 2...etc. After that set we added a military press; squat, curl, press...1, etc. A short rest was followed by lunges with the dumb bells. Half way across the field we added curls; lung then up to a curl to a lung, etc. We worked across the field and before coming back we did push ups which were a modified one hand push ups. Mainly a normal two hand push up but with a single hand lift once up.

We then moved back into a straight squat with the weights at shoulder height and completed a military press on the way up. We burned those out with more of those modified one hand push ups.

To wrap the workout we did the turkish get-up. For those that don't know this move,

This workout is tough. We did it with one 25# and for those who don't watch the video - which is not me - you lay flat on your back with the dumb bell held in one hand and in the up (picture bench press) position. Then you basically stand up...from laying on your back while holding the weight overhead. Once up, you lay down...rinse, dry, repeat. This is hard ;)

We did some good stretching as I was still a bit tight from Monday. Another great workout...

Until Friday.
