Not allowing the night's fun to turn into the day's agony, I headed to the gym. I didn't think it'd be the best idea to go out for a run because if my stomach couldn't handle it, I'd be stuck away from home and away from bathrooms and water.
To the gym I went.. and I am SO glad I did. I am very comfortable working out in a gym - it's where I work, practically where I live, and I just love the atmosphere of being surrounded by people doing good for their bodies. It's this atmosphere that has greatly driven my career path.
When I set foot in the gym, I wasn't sure exactly what my workout would entail, but I knew I needed to work my whole body with some bouts of cardio in between. This is what my workout ended up to look like:
Cardio 1: 1 mile on treadmill, 6.0 - 6.5 mph pace
Circuit 1: 3 sets
- 10 squat + med ball thrust
- 10 push-ups, 1 hover push-up til fail
- 10 seated row
- 10 pendulums with med ball, 10 upper ab crunch with legs elevated
Circuit 2: 3 sets
- 10 overhead press
- 10 assisted pull-ups
- 10 tricep dips on bench
- 12 reverse crunch on bench
- 8 bball power squats, each side
Circuit 3: 2 sets
- 10 weighted leg lift, ea. side
- 10 plie squats
- 12 reverse crunch on floor
- 10 calf raises, ea. side
- V-sit twist with med ball ladder
- done with a partner, sit facing each other on floor, lift into v-sit, twist 2x, throw across to partner, holding v-sit entire time, partner does 2 twists, throws back, continue to "climb ladder" of reps and back down
- ladder = 2-4-6-8-10-12-10-8-6-4-2
- 1 mile on treadmill, 6.0 - 6.5 mph
- 10 min spin bike, moderate resistance, a few power intervals
- 1/2 mile on treadmill 4.0 - 6.5 mph
It was a lot.. to say the least. I was at the gym for two straight hours. But I worked through my (hangover) agony and felt absolutely amazing afterward.
Check my next post to see how I refueled after my cross training! You're not going to want to miss this.
Today will probably be a run, or possible cross train workout. Stay tuned!
