Gym Session :: 5/25/12 & 5/26/12

For 5/25/2012 - Usually on my off days, I like to do some intense cardio, so of course I did a Cardio complex.. soo much better than running on a treadmill for 30 mins..  


Karen was supposed to join me but she changed her plans last minute... 


Anyway - this is what I did for my at home workout - let me tell you ... it was INTENSE! Made me sweat way more than I did just jogging on the treadmill!


I did 3 rounds of this all one right after the other and waiting 90 seconds rest before the next round..


So it looked like this:


Bodyweight Squats - 12 reps
Spiderman Pushups - 12 reps
Jumping Lunges - 12 reps
Plank to Pushups - 12 reps
Mountain Climbers - 12 reps
--- rest 90 seconds

For 5/26/12 - I wasn't going to go to the gym, but decided to re-evaluate my thinking of how bad I want to win this 10k challenge and decided to bust my butt in the gym.  It was a Chest/Back Day so this is what I did.. I made it my goal for this gym session to up the weight on each of my exercises that I usually do.. :)
