I realize I've not been very good about posting about the fitness classes this week. Monday's class was a torturous pyramid workout. We had four stations that we had to do for 15 seconds, then switch. The next circuit was 30 seconds, then 45, then 60. After that, we had circuits of 60, 45, 30, and 15.
Uphill Circuit
Flat on our backs with legs raised and then curling then further back and up in a reverse crunch.
Squats.
Forward lunges where you turn your body to the side of the forward lef while you're doing the lunge.
Planks.
Dowhill Circuit
Same on the back thing with legs bent at the knee.
Dips from the chair. I did presses against the wall, since that fucked up my back a little the last time.
Jogging in place.
Side lunge with side kick to the opposite side. I did squats with alternating kicks to either side.
I might have the exercises a bit out of order. That's the problem when I don't write them down right away.
Wednesday's class was one where another guy nearly passed out. It was tough. Really tough. However, I think I'm getting some better. Gaining more staying power. The circuits were all 30 seconds each in Wednesday's class.
Three-Time Circuit
Resistance band where we stood on it and pulled to our chest. Up and down.
Planks.
Resistance band where we held it doubled, shoulder width apart in front of our chest and stretched it.
A thing where we bent over to touch the floor in front of us and sort of marched with the legs. I did this in a sort of plank position against the wall.
Push ups.
Resistance band overhead presses.
Partnering With Bands and Bonus Cardio
After that, we paired up with the bands and had to stand side to side, grip the band and pull apart and then press it out in front of our chests and hold it. Then we would jog. Sometimes we would pulls toward us, then the partner would pull toward herself while we fought against it. Still with jogging in between.
I was hurty in the back and upper body after Wednesday's class. My knees and back are generally a bit more achy than normal lately, though I suppose a bit of that is to be expected. Along with random floating soreness. Not pain. More gentle.
