LG Fitness tryout: Luck of the draw

I tried this place out with Nick's wife, Crystal.

It's a nice facility.  Very CrossFit like set-up.

And the workout would have been very at home at a CF gym, but it was a different type of deck of-cards-based workout.


For every value, there was a different excercise.  The number of reps you did depended on the suit.

But we didn't do everything together.  You draw a card, go and do that exercise, and then come back and draw another card.  

We only had three people in the class, so there was plenty of work to go around.

Oh, and every time someone drew an ace, you yell "Sociables" and everyone stops what they're doing to do burpees.

B Squad: Grindy Saturday

For time:

800m row
2.4km airbike
60 KB swings 55lb
60 wall ball (If you're wondering when this started to REALLY suck... it was here)
40 push-ups
40 pull-ups
20 burpees
20 overhead squats (95lb)

The workout called for a 155lb OHS but, like, seriously, fuck that in its ear.

Basement Yoga with a Complaining 6-year-old

I paid another visit to Yoga with Adriene, but I made the mistake of inviting my daughter.

SO much complaining.  "This isn't yoga!  She's building abs!   It hurts so much!"

Really kept me from finding my centre, or whatever the hell you're supposed to do with yoga.

It was one of the ones labelled Yoga for Weight Loss.  Not tracking it down.  You can find it if you want, imaginary reader.

B Squad: Thank God I don't need my arms for this

Still wearing the vest of pain. Luckily, I didn't need to reach above my head for any of this.

A. Three rounds of:

A1. 12 back squats.  I stayed at 135 for this.

A2. 20 farmer's carry walking lunges.  25lb.  I would have been a terrible farmer

A3. 24 x 24" box step up.



B. 4 rounds of
-1 minute moderate row
-30 sec plank hold

B Squad: A Vest of Pain

A. With a partner, 10-minute AMRAP

-10 pull-ups
-10 goblet squats
-Do the full 10 and10, then rest while partner works.  Alternate like that.

JasonDes and I did 12 rounds plus 1 pull-up

Rest 5 minutes

B. 10 minute partner AMRAP:
-250m row
-6 burpee over 24" box

Same as before.

JasonDes and I did 6 rounds.


Note: after attacking those pull-ups like a crazed dog, I hurt for days.
