Thursday, Jan 28, 2010 Workout

Not that I'm particularly thrilled to wake up at 4:45am any morning, but this morning was even harder than usual! I could hear the wind blowing outside my window and when I looked out the snow gusts were huge! Dark & Cold....not a good motivator to wake up, get dressed and head outside. BUT, I did it. and, AS ALWAYS, I'm glad I did.

Our workout was heavy on cardio today, which is my least favorite thing....I'd rather do strength training any day. Someone pointed out that I may have exercise induced asthma because whenever we run I cough a lot and then I have a rattling cough until about lunch time. I never thought it would be asthma because it's not like I'm gasping for breath but, I do still feel like I should be much better at cardio than I am.
Rob has use check our "recovery time" every so often and mine is really great...which means that, cardiovascularly, I'm in good shape.....and it's not like my legs get tired.....but I'm slowed up from this stupic coughing thing soooooooooo, long story short, I suppose I should probably call my doctor because if it is some form of exercise induced asthma and there's something I can take to make it go away, I bet my fitness training would improve greatly--- which would make me very happy!

Anyhow, yes, it was at least 1/2 cardio today but it was still Thursday which means it was still a TRX day (http://www.fitnessanywhere.com/).
We would work one part of the body (list of all the parts we worked below), and, in between each body part, we would do laps around the gym. Mostly running and then adding in skipping, shuffling and galloping (all of which spike your heart rate).
  • legs
  • chest
  • arms
  • shoulders
  • back
  • core
I really love boot camp and I feel like I've learend a lot from it!

I'll post food later.

PS. this thing doesn't have a spell check and I'm usually typing my blog super quickly since it's not so much about "writing" as it is about "logging"........anyway, if anyone's reading this and you see spelling mistakes, it's just cause I don't proof it at all and I'm not too concerned to start :).
