I *Heart* Jogo! Not really sure what it is about this week, but, despite work being UGH all week long, I have had a great week. 4 visits to Jogo had a lot to do with it! Here's how I started off my Friday:
CF Football-style Nicole:
Max-rep Pull-ups
100m run
As many rounds as possible in 15 mins
Of course, I can't do pull-ups (yet!), so I did 10 jumping pull-ups each round, then went for my run. Actually, I did 15 the first round, and knocked out an extra three while time was running out. So, I did a total of 118 jumping pull-ups and run (or jogged, or kinda hustled...) a total of 1000 meters.
Then, we had the "Optional" squat workout, which was simply 3 rounds of 5 back squats. Now, I haven't done much back squat since I first hurt my leg, so my first round, I started out with an empty bar (45#). That felt OK, so I moved up to 65#. Getting heavier, but still OK, so on to 95# I went for my last round. That was definitely about all I had in me. I was focused really hard on form to avoid aggravating my leg, and I think I managed pretty well.
Then, because I'm focused on my kipping goal, I practiced some more kipping form. This was somewhat difficult considering I had just done 118 jumping pull-ups. So, I only spent a couple of minutes, but the trainer is pretty sure I'm "just around the corner" to getting it. We'll see what that ends up meaning!!
I hope you ladies have a great weekend! I'm off to pack for a weekend in Sunnyside! *Wut Wut* :)
Fitness for Bears, Orcas, and Roadrunners
Three girls' adventures in exercise...a place for motivation, praise and bragging...and maybe a little whining.
