Day 36/63 - May 29th, 2008 Workout - Konditioning

I was all ready to run outside at Konditioning class today, but for some reason we ended up skipping it. Darn… and I just love running ;) We did end up doing the normal indoor run for a warm up though.

After the warm up, we went into the hardest konditioning class I’ve ever gone to. We started off with some ab work: crunches, flutters, leg raises, etc. We then partnered up and did some really tough wheelbarrow drills. Each drill started at one side of the mats with one partner holding up the other partners legs, then we’d go from one side to the other and back, doing the following:
- walking on hands
- 5 push ups, walk on hands half-way, 5 push ups, walk on hands and then 5 more push ups, walk back
- clapping push ups to the end and walking on hands back
- 1 push up, pull along ground, 2 push ups, pull along ground up to 10

I only made it through the first 2 sets and not even halfway through the last 2. My chest and triceps were just killing me, which made the next set of drills even worse. They were sort of like a wheelbarrow, but in reverse, so we were walking on our hands backwards in a dip position. The first drill was to walk backwards on our hands, then the second drill threw in sets of 5 dips. I barely made it halfway through the first drill. My arms were just too sore to even keep myself balanced.

After that we did ab work with our partners. 1 partner would lay on the ground on their back and hold onto the other partners legs for leverage. We then did sets of leg raises, diagonal leg raises and leg raises with splits. I made it through these ones alright, but had to really push it at the end.

We finished off with some pull ups - hanging from our partners arms as they stood over us and chin ups on the bars.

Definitely the hardest class yet. I’ve never been happier that Friday is my rest day.

Here’s my total #’s for the day:
- 100 Push Ups
- 35 Pull Ups / Negatives
- 30 Chin Ups
- 40 Squats
- 20 Squat Jumps
- 60 Crunches
- 30 Oblique Crunches (each side)
- 80 Leg Raises
