Monday's Workout 8/6/12

I've been quiet for awhile, so I thought I should let you know that I'm not dead; long way from my goal, but not dead.  I started cross training and I feel like I've been hit by a truck and left on the tracks for the train to finish off.  Here is what did me in....

1.  Stretch-focusing on hips and shoulders

2.  Deadlift
  • Warm up (135 lbs for 15 reps)
  • 5 x 10 @ 205lbs
3.  Circuit for Time (Two exercises in superset attempting to finish in the shortest amount of time)
  • Thurster 30 reps, 20 reps, 10 reps
  • Medicine Ball Pushups (alternate hands) - 20 reps, 10 reps, 6 reps
4.  Cool Down

It took me 15 minutes to complete.  I'll look at the bright side and smile that I completed it.  I'll try and forget that the really fit girls who were demonstrating the exercise were able to do the same workout in 5-6 minutes.
