What an interesting week at the gym. We are trying out different workouts - We did the P90x Core Synetizer workout- works total body - I like it. Then for the next two training nights- I thought we were going to become gladiators - Trainer Kamilah has us doing doing deadlifts with heavyweights, jumping on tires. She called it the Spartan 300 which amounts to exercise - totally 300 reps - we seem to be concentrating on pull ups these days. Then on Fri we did another Spartan workout - this time 600. Needless to say I was dead tired and sore and then next morning, had to get up and do the weekly long run.
It was tough getting up this morning and my body was sore as heck. But I could not go back to bed because the others were waiting. We met at the McD greenway - we went further this time - little by little we are increasing our run/walk distance - now up to 7.5 miles, next week we are going to try to do 8M.
Met up with Iris, an 80+ year old woman who has series of surgeries and now back trying to get back in shape. She inspires me to take care of myself. If she can do it, then I should have no excuse.
Also this past Thurs went back to swim class- I sure miss it- I think things are starting to make sense - Finally! Maybe I can learn how to swim.
Well, that's it for this week. Next week - Mon we are going to do our track 2m run as fast as we can - that is going to be a challenge for me since I never train that way but I will try my best. Wed we are suppose to do bag and mitt work. I forget what we will do Fri -but Trainer K is trying to keep it interesting.
I am hoping in August I can train to do muscle building. Since I've lost weight - i want to build muscle and get stronger. So we shall see
Until next time
Enjoy the summer heat and humidity
