My trainer, Rob, is gone for the week so we have a "substitute" trainer. She's this brick-house of a woman. Only about 5'2 maybe but pure muscle and LOTS of energy. She was really nice, but really intense.
We did a mix of cardio, strength training and plyometrics (i.e. explosive jumping exercises). We started in the park, then ran down to Michigan Ave along the river and then ended up back at the park again for core. I'll try to make a list, but I'm sure I'll miss some stuff!
- Squat walks across the parking lot
- lunges
- hold lunges
- penquin walk across the parking lot
- wall sits (lowering a little more each time and holding)
- 1 leg wall sits (I don't think I've ever done this before and I could barely hold it)
- jump rope (frontward and backward)
- rows
- pushes
- stair steps
- tricep dips
- overhead extensions for triceps
- wall push ups
- Power-Jacks
- power- jumps
- sissy squats (definitely NOT for sissys)
- a form of skipping for a long distance
- grapevine for a long distance
- gallops for a long distance
- tai bo (about 5 different exercises). For those of you who have heard me say I want to find a boxing class.....this made me rethink it......I was so tired....especially my shoulders! I was glad it was a good core workou though.
- planks- front, side, side, one leg, then the other.......and then side plank dips- 10 on each side
