yup,it was one of *those* workouts!!!!!
so i finally made it to the gym today after 2 weeks away......
at first i wasn't motivated to go,was in a blah mood,feeling grumpy and frumpy and just plain ol grouchy....
and then i turned that blah feeling around.
my motivation?
i have *10* weeks to be in my best shape ever(ok,so 11 weeks for the pro show,the show in 10 wks in a warm up)
*8* weeks until my first ever tri!!!
there is no more room for taking 2 weeks off.
i just gotta work around life's schedule...
anyways,so when i did get in the gym,it didn't know what hit it!!
as soon as i walked through the doors,it was game on.
i was overcome with a euphoric feeling.
i felt unstoppable.....
the plan of attack?
legs with weighted plyos for active rest.
the workout that almost made me lose my lunch?
(*no rest in between sets,aside from getting set up for next group of exercises*)
giant set of:
4x26 single leg leg press jumps
4x30 second leg press squat hold
4x24 weighted ski lunge
4x15 lying leg curl w
4x24 weighted jump lunge as AR (active rest)
single leg curl with foot in external rotation w
weighted deep squat with explosive jump tuck as AR
(this totally kicked.my.bisquits.
totally felt sick at this point-but i pushed past the puke barrier and kept going!)
4x30 traveling walking DB lunges w
weighted lateral sprints as AR
3x18 good mornings w
3x45 sec mountain climbers as AR
3x18 hip abd
3x18 hip add
(and yes,i got so many weird and crazy looks from everybody during this workout!!!)
and then as i weeble wobbled down stairs to do cardio,i decided to run instead of elliptical.
got in 4.5 miles~39 minutes
mile 1: 10 minutes-JELLO legs!
mile 2: 8:58-feeling less shaky
miles 3 and 4.5: 8:34 pace... was feeling the groove and wanted to go faster,but know that i may be doing a BRICK session tomorrow.
i need all the extra umph for that.
i felt really good in the gym and in all honesty,this was one of the better workouts ive had in a while.
not sure if it was just me NEEDING my *fix*,or the valentine chocolates that gave me the motivation/drive....
but glad i got It in,and just hoping things will start falling into a routine again soon!!!!
TGIF yall!!!!
