Week seven, Workout #21

The last workout of week and a good one to boot.

Today was about 5,10,15 for 20 minutes. Basically, it was all about muscle endurance. We start with a fairly standard warm up considering my sore achillies. A little jog up and back a few times on the turf and then the rest was normal.

Thereafter we got to the core, main workout of the day. The 5,10,15 for 20 minutes was the following; 5 push ups, 10 deep squats with 50lbs then into a overhead press, 15 yards of single leg lunges (up and back, so really 30 yards) for 20 minutes straight! No stopping, rest, nothing...dude, that is hard. Again all about endurance. Fortunately my brother from a different mother was in town and took the great pictures and video that I've been able to the blog; Thanks Sam!

Our second exercise was odd, odd looking. We went to the bleachers and did bench press work but only with one dumbbell. So not only did this look odd but it felt weird too. The intent and it was very real was the instability. I encourage anyone to try it with a light weight, feet up on a bench and you'll see what I mean. It is a core killer. The activation of the core is vital so you don't tip off the bench; good good workout.

We finished up with some good stretching and called it a day. Monday is weight-in day and I am hoping to be sub 240.

Until then.
