Get Some in 15 seconds...

I was prepared for something brutal tonight for boot camp Friday. I thought since Curtis is going out of town for a week he wanted to leave us with a tasty treat. I was right. We did all sorts of stuff, I'm going to be sooo sore tomorrow.

First of all- I did 2 rounds of mountain climbers on ALL fours, no knees, no buckling!! It's a big deal. By round 3 (out of 4) I started trembling a little, probably midway through and of course Curtis happened to look over at the exact moment that I had dropped down for a second and yelled at me to get off my knees. I try I try. Anyway, just had to announce that.

We did some mad minute shizzle... everything was in 60 second intervals broken into 3 sets of 20 seconds with no rest in between. 5 different exercises, and 4 rounds... I'm exhausted just thinking about it again. We got a generous 15 second rest in between each minute round, hence the title. I know..he's so giving huh?

Get Ready to Crank it!

Move one was inclined band press with isometric holds. First few rounds of those were tough, but... manageable. 3rd and 4th rounds, unbearable. Next was band squats with isometric holds. Again, not SO bad at first but it got harder and harder. THEN we did some bent over rows with dumb-bells, going from single handed rows to those freakin' see-saws again.. Except this time the see-saws were inverted, so rowing, instead of pressing. Either way, I hate 'em. My back, shoulders, and arms love them though. Fourth were some lateral lunges. I find that I can squat lower, stick my butt out/down further and my balance is getting a lot better. WINNING!  Last but definitely not least were single leg mountain climbers. Remember these minutes were broken up into 3 brackets, so for the mountain climbers we started one leg, switched to the opposite, then switched to both... FUN. *sarcasm font*

I pushed harder tonight because it was the end of the week and I needed something to REALLY have to recover from this weekend, since there is no TRX Saturday and I have 3 days off. I'll need to go hiking or something.

A successful night for me, no emotional breakdowns, my knees feels a LOT better and no joke on my drive home "Eye of the Tiger" came on the radio, it was a sign... a salute to my progress. It was the perfect song to end my week of awesome-ness.
