Past few weeks

we've been working out, I've been slacking on posting.
Christine is still doing the Dan John 3x8/1min workout

I am doing 3 days a week KB workout
here's what I started with - I'll increase reps as I go
A: KB press 3x5@62
     Swing 3x20

B: TGU 3/side@62

C: Push press 3x3@97 (Working these up to strict presses - I do the first one currently)
    Goblet Squat 3x10@62

On off days I am doing some elliptical and dips/chins

Thursday, April 26, 2012

Melanie: Thursday

3 x 1 minute plank
4 x 5 knees to chest
4 x 5 hollow rock

3 x 8 with 1 min. rest of:
Overhead press @ 65 (8, 6, 3)
Power curls @ 70 - these were hard

This concludes this program for me. It was excellent. I am going to keep up with something similar - 3 x a week, different exercises on days A, B, C + Sunday, work in sprinting and maybe a little yoga and some slightly longer runs. But focus is on 3 days a week - others are extra.

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

Melanie: Tuesday

3 x 8 with 1 min. rest Whipsnatch @ 45# Clean grip snatch @ 45# 4 x 5 knees to chest

Thursday, April 19, 2012

Melanie: Sunday and Thursday

Sunday
Some agility drills, burpees and kettlebell swings

25# KB throws in sandpit - 3 from swing position, 3 overhead. These were fun.

5 x Overhead carry with the strap holding 10 pounds on each side through the open wide pipe about 30 yards total each round. I'm sure there's a better way to describe that. I could have used more weight.


Thursday

3 x 8 with 1 minute rest
Front squat @ 75
Overhead squat @ 45 - these are very challenging still. Tonight my wrist hurt. I tried gripping the bar really hard and that helped.
4 x 25 crunches.

I was exhausted this week, so did not work out on Tuesday. We are going to be out of town this weekend so I will probably miss Saturday too.

Saturday, April 14, 2012

6 farmers' walks 75# each side for about 40 yards roundtrip (men went further and used more weight). Set implements down at the end and picked them up for the way back rather than turning around.
