Hey friends! Hope your Tuesday is off to a great start!
Monday morning, me and several million of my friends woke up to a good shake here in Southern California. It was definitely the biggest earthquake I’ve ever felt, but by no means was it bad compared to the devastations that have happened around the world. I woke up from the jolt and in trying to wake up my boyfriend, accidentally punched him in the face. Luckily that was the only injury that took place. (Sorry babe! ;-))
The best part of the earthquake was definitely this…..
Makes me laugh every time! Thank you Captain Obvious! We all felt it!
Anyways, moving on!
Yesterday, I did a doozy of a workout. It was a mixture of legs and back with a hint of some kettle bell action. I LOVE kettle bells. They are so versatile. They take some time to get used to, and it is helpful to have someone who knows what they’re doing show you the ropes (errr…bells). Once you DO learn how to use them, they can be used for just about anything.
Here’s what I did Monday:
The Workout
For the squats, I did sets of 15, 12, 10, 8, and 6, increasing the weight each set. I worked my way up to 115 pounds.
For the pull ups, I did sets of 5, 5, 3, and then switched to chin ups and did 3 and 3.
For the rest of the exercises, I did sets of 10-12 reps of each.
I used 12kg for the one arm KB Snatches and 16kg for the KB Swings
This workout definitely kicked my butt! Loved that I went from a slower paced heavy lift, to a faster pace burnout. Had a good sweat going by the end!
Here’s my plan for the rest of the week:
Tuesday: Boxing and Bouldering
Wednesday: HIIT and Bouldering
Thursday: CrossFit and a Functional Workout
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Hike
Sunday: Rest
I’m traveling to Phoenix once again this weekend, so my workouts Friday – Sunday will be whatever I can get in. I will, of course, have to make a visit to my old stomping grounds (aka the Mecca of Scottsdale). I’m planning on resting on Friday and Sunday, but if I decide to drive back Monday, I’ll probably move my rest day to Monday.
