Cold Spin

Went to spinning in the cold before all of the crazy snow started. Definitely got our sweat on! Instructor also brought sweet treats (counterproductive, right?!) but of course we took them.

I finally wore my Garmin and HRM and these were my results (I didn't stop it until I was done with the cool down and stretches): http://connect.garmin.com/activity/444173932

Cheers.

YogaTuesday

We were going to try and make it to Power Yoga this AM, but couldn't get going quickly enough to make it by 5:45. So, we took to the streets of YouTube via the Wii and did our own Yoga. Of course, Piggy tried to join us and laid right in the middle of our space. She's a goofball. Downward Dog!!

 Chad even suggested finding another yoga workout and doing that this evening. Really good for us as we do not stretch enough and it's evident. It's such a crucial thing that we let fall by the wayside, especially with all of the working out and lifting we do. Leonard actually did some partner resistance stretching on me yesterday and it was so apparent how tight I really am. Here's to more yoga, pilates, and stretching in our future!!

Namaste.

Monday Lift

Went through my program with Leonard. Will stick with this full body program twice a week at these particular weights for 2 weeks and then start upping the weights through about 6 weeks of time.

Will be supplementing this program with cardio, running, classes, and WODs.

Chad lifted a lot of chest and maybe some other stuff.

Mkay bye.

FRI & SAT & SUN

Friday, February 7th
So we ended up doing 16oz curls at Parkway on Friday instead of the planned visit to the gym. Good times, good times.

Saturday, February 8th
Spin with Joe. Joe's 1st Spin Class ever, Chad's 2nd Spin Class ever, and my 3rd Spin class this year (used to frequent the Spinning thing back in the early 2000s).

Sunday, February 9th
Park 2 Park
We ran from Rotary to Moyer, stood around and BSd for a bit, then headed back. We were going to do some exercises each mile and/or at the halfway point, but that didn't happen. We did, however, do some lunges or skipped across the bridges we encountered on the way back as well as Indian Runs that started with 7 and ended with 4.

We polished the day off with some El Toreo. BOOM.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Tuesday, February 4th
Well we didn't get to the gym Monday, so we had to sweat it out this AM. We got a bit of a late start, so we both went the cardio route, I with more purpose due to my first PT session with Leonard tomorrow.

Kate
15 minutes orbital occipital
15 minutes running on the treadmill
10 minutes recumbent bike
5 minutes rowing

Chad
26 minutes elliptical
8 minutes running on the treadmill
7 minutes rowing (1500m)

Wednesday, February 5th
I got to work with the great trainer, Leonard Jones III, utilizing one of my earned training sessions from Battle of the Bulge. He put me to work to try and analyze where I was and how he could push me even more. We did a full body workout, so it was good! Follow-up workout on Monday at 6am.

Chad worked on upper body - chest and tris I believe - but he can add to this if he wants to elaborate.

Thursday, February 6th
Didn't wake up in time and had every intention to go to Spinning at 6pm, but my tummy was giving me problems so we missed it. Boo. hiss.

Friday, February 7th
We were going to wake up and get going, but I had a horrible night of sleep. We did wake up early enough, but by the time we would have gotten going, it was already after 6. Must. do. something. tonight. (Most likely at home as I'm already exhausted). Will. go. to. the. RAC. tomorrow. AM.

Stay tuned for an update - and I'm really hoping I can hold to that this evening.

Saturday Dog Walk

Amber, Chad, Kingston, Piggy, and me took a nice walk together on the River Walk in Fort Mill/Rock Hill, SC.

Nothing fancy or fast (minus the quick run down and back up a hill I did at Piggy) but it was good to get out and get some fresh air.
