Over vacation, I wasn't super active, but also not sedentary. We went skiing twice in Austria... AWESOME! (Could have done with out the hour ride stuck in a gondola lift in high winds, though!) Hubby and I also had a wonderful brisk walk on New Year's Day around the local lake... 12 miles! I was pretty sore after that.
This past saturday, I did some kettlebell work: swings and snatches. I'm trying to get over my fear of KB snatches. Then, I went to an hour of hot yoga. Then we went skiing for a couple hours!
Sunday, I started the third phase of New Rules of Lifting for Abs. Again, it was too long, so I decided I'd split each day into two. I hate cutting out parts of a workout, so this way I'll do it all, just spread out :)
NRLA Phase 3 A1-1
Turkish get up - 5ea/10kg, 5ea/19# (I could tell I hadn't done these in a while!)
Suitcase deadlift + lateral step up - 5ea/16kg
Cable anti-rotation reverse lunge with chop - 8ea/20#, 8ea/25#
(added) Jump up chin ups - 5
Jump shrug - 3/45#, 3/65#, 5/65#
Then, this morning, I continued on and did the rest of the workout. I don't know if it is because I skimped on the warmup or because I haven't done much single leg work in a month, but the single leg work today was absolutely horrible. Frustrating.
NRLA Phase 3 A2-1
Split squat, rear foot elevated - 5x6ea/15# (horrible!)
Dumbbell plank row - 5x6ea/16kg
Dumbbell single-leg deadlift with foot on plate - 4x6ea/25# (started at 44kg! horrible!)
Dumbbell chest press on partial bench - 4x6/27.5#
Burpee+KB swing ladder: 10 -> 1, 24kg for swings
