6/11
I was still a teensy bit sore from the 9th so I opted to stay in my comfort zone.
Elliptical, random program, level 4
Stats: 283 cal, 2.28 mi, 30:00 min

Then I moved onto the ab machine and cranked out 100 crunches, varying the angle I crunched at into 4 groups. That was followed by stretching for about 10 minutes.

6/12
Out of my comfort zone!
My first ever yoga class. One hour.
My hammies are KILLING me and I picked the wrong mat to put under my mat so I was slipping and sliding all over the place to the point when she uttered downward dog, I wanted to shoot her.

Because there was a lot of that. DD was our main transition pose. Ugh. Next time will be better. I might even get a pair of yoga socks with the nubbies on the bottom because my feet sweated so bad in that class. Actually, I sweated so bad in that class. The air wasn't working right and the moves were killer because I didn't tell the teach that it was my first time. I watched those around me and winged it and apparently didn't do too bad because when I talked to her afterwards, she didn't know.

6/13
Escape again! New trainer. First half, hated him. He was NOT the right personality for me and the other woman who came thought so too. She'd already taken one of his classes and said she didn't like him then either. Second half, still didn't like him but he let up with the parts that aggravated me so badly in the beginning of the class and so all I really had to complain about for the second half was his nasty coffee breath. For those of you who drink coffee, please do not get in the face of someone who doesn't and breathe on them. No bueno.

More stations this time:
step up 1 1/4 pumps on the box

The Sled again....I don't mind this one

Versaclimber

squat jumps and backward jogging

giant tire hops/steps

weighted ball chest presses

Bosu ball planks (two of the effin fuckers!!!)

stability ball hip thrust/bridges

Bosu step Rebounder

hanging bicep

squatting hip flexor

standing chest press

We got through 2 sets. I like the woman but she's a bit bonkers. She's 55 and came from a Ninja Warrior wanna be class in another city so she kept complaining about the breaks. I need the breaks, woman! Can't you hear me wheezing over here? lol I do like her energy and spunk, though. We're taking the 6am class on Thursday too. I think the instructor likes me as he was trying to finagle his way into teaching it when I was leaving (they didn't have a teacher named yet). I honestly hope not. I can deal with him once a week but I may only get two times a week there so I NEED another instructor for the second class.

After I finished that this morning, I packed and moved furniture for close to two hours. I figured....I'm already hot and sweaty....why not? Right???

Tomorrow is my 'day off' so to speak. I have an eye exam and the optometrist is in the same plaza as this gym so I'm getting an orientation on their new machinery today so I'll be working the machines but not like a regular workout.

Thursday, if I feel up to it, will be Escape followed by yoga. Not sure if I can pull that off, or if I'd even want to, but it's feasible and it's my last weekday off this week (no early weekend classes for either) so it's my last chance to get them in.

How's your week shaping up?
