Welcome back Alcina!!!

I ran yesterday, not far, a little over a mile. Today I went almost 2 miles. Tomorrow is bike ride.
 
I've lost 1.6 pounds since Saturday, and drank 128 oz. of water today.

stairs 15 minutes
Bench Press
seated Military Press
Push Ups
situps
 
OK the long weekend might have been too long a break. :)

5 minute warm-up rowing
2 sets of pull-ups
2 sets of dips
2 sets of low rows
2 sets of lat pulldowns
2 mile run
 
Penny finished up her 3rd (of three) Foundation classes tonight. Her workout was Grace.

Grace:
Clean and Jerk 30 reps, scaled 45# (Rx 95#)
Time: 7:50 (Her time was 1 minute faster than mine was the other day... grrrrrr)

Tonight was my first session with the main group, so I learned several names (unfortunately I've forgotten most of them
lol.gif
)

Warmup:
500m Row
2 rounds of:
Back Extensions on the GHD* (10 reps)
Hip Flexions on the GHD* (10 reps) (used to be known as a Roman chair situp)
Push-ups (10 reps)
Overhead Squats (10 reps)

Workout of the Day (WOD):
Death by Pull-ups (1 PU first minute, 2 PU's second minute, 3 PU's third minute, etc until you can do the required number in that minute)

6 rounds complete + 2 PU's in 7th round. (Assisted by Green stretch band). (Total 23 Pull-ups)

I'm surprised at what started out so incredibly easy quickly became very difficult.

My hands and forearms are yelling at me right now!
