gym arrival: 8:07 pm
warm up: 5 minutes moderate pace on the bike, total distance about 1.5 miles
going the distance:
today's work out....CARDS OF DEATH! (que dramatic music) Actually, it was a great endurance workout that left me feeling like a champ at the end. Using a deck of cards, assign a core exercise to each suit, then do the move the number of times on the card drawn.
example: 4 of clubs=4 crunches.
In between each exercise I jogged a lap around the track, which upon further inspection I found out is actually 17 laps to the mile, not 14. This actually worked out for me because 17X3=51. So by the time I went through the whole deck and did a slow cool down lap I had jogged 3 miles.
I assigned my core exercises as such:
hearts- leg lifts
spades- mason twists
diamonds- knees to chest
clubs- crunchs
The whole deck equals a total of 95 of each exercise, that 380 core movements total. Not too shabby. While it was taxing, I still had plenty of energy by the end of it. If I had more time I might have gone through the deck again but without the laps in between. I think I need different running shoes...
cool down: one reaaaallly slow lap around the track in the opposite direction and some stretching
Lots good sounds on the ones and twos: Dracula's wedding- outkast, sir duke- stevie wonder, apeman- the kinks, optimistic- radiohead, money honey & boys boys boys- gaga, intro & it'll be ok- limp bizkit, tomorrow never knows- the beatles
gym departure: 9:20pm
