I was feeling the effects of yesterday's workout, plus a night with little sleep. (Due to a family crisis, not a fun New Year's unfortunately.) I ran an easy six miles on the wonderful treadmill, and then took Boot Camp. I'm glad that I only ran 6 because the class was really tough. My favorite instructor, Andrea, was teaching. She's the only instructor that can kick my butt.
Some of the ways I was tortured: 2 sets of step ups with weights, followed by a round of intervals in the spinning room, push-ups from a down dog position, followed by stairs (straight up, jumps, sideways, switch sides), down to the gym for 5 sets of suicides, and three minutes worth of lunges, up to the treadmills for an increasing pace run (I did enjoy the shocked looks I got when I ran ato 11.3 mph as opposed to their 7mph. Here's where the extra .75 miles came in) Back up to the group exercise room for triceps, biceps, shoulders, burpees, and side to side runs. Of course, we finished with some wonderful core work.
I'm already sore, and I don't think I needed the extra miles. But, I'm looking forward to jumping the mileage up next week. Hopefully, I can keep the supplemental cross training in without getting too overworked. |
