TGIF

I managed to get into the gym after work today. I stayed up late watching cheesy TV shows online, so I really wasn't up for the morning run that I had planned and I didn't think it wise to go for a jog tonight either. Not that the alternative was necessarily helpful either.

I missed pilates class with Marie, but I think it was for the best. I did a quick 10 minute warm-up on the upright bike with 30sec/90 sec power bursts. I managed to keep my rest pace above 90rpm most of the time, which was great.

I then managed to get the studio to myself. I did the following with no rest in between exercises, which left me seriously dripping all over the floor with sweat.

1-10 rep pyramid set (push-ups, crunches, squats)
Repeat twice:

• 1 set walking lunges with 8lb handweights
• 1 set oblique twist walking lunges
• 1 set of traveling plie squats
• 1 set of traveling squats
• 1 set of backwards lunges

1 set of jump squats
3 sets of 30 sec each (plank, push-up plank, mountain climbers)
1 set of burpees with push-ups
2 - 30 sec full side plank with balance ball btw ankles, each side

After that I did a 45 minutes pilates routine, focusing on more reps than usual and slow, deliberate movements. I ended with one last set of push-ups.
