10.3 – Bootcamp Final Day (Cardio)

Weight – 234.4
% Fat – 21.1%
Lean Mass – 185
Fat Mass – 50

I find my fat % varied wildly from 16-26 on this scae, I am hoping a monthly average may take care of the difference and give me a better idea. Either that or get a hydration scale which is reputedly better.

For the last Bootcamp for this session we did Cardio, regardless of the degree of hatred everyone has for it…

R9D75 – Bootcamp 3.7.1 Cardio Abs

I have been thinking that the cardio workout could be shorter and harder. That would leave extra time for abs every 3rd class which I think is a great idea. So that in mind, last night we did the revamped cardio class and added some abs stuff throughout and an extra section at the end. I think it went well, I know my abs are feeling it today! It’s not a rip off of Shaun T’s cardio abs, but now I realize the name is the same maybe I should go back and do that workout again and see if I can pick up some tips 😉

R9D72 – Bootcamp Weights And Flying Scissors

Class was almost back to normal last night, even though my girls are not participating in preparation for competition on the weekend in Orangeville. I had hope there would be only 3 so I could throw in some Olympic lifting training but I had a total of 5 participants so it was back to the schedule. This is what we did:

Huggers
Twists
World’s Slowest Burpees
Inch Worm
Groiners

10 Strict Press
10 Overhead tricep extension
10 Curls
20 Crunch
20 Hanging Leg Raise

10 High Pull
10 1 arm shrugs each side
10 1 arm side bends each side
10 side crunch each side
10 hanging crunches (tuck)

20 in and out
10 roll to boat hold
20 ARX bicycle
10 full sit up
10 hanging leg raise sides

10 Strict Press
10 Overhead tricep extension
10 Curls
20 Crunch
20 Hanging Leg Raise

10 High Pull
10 1 arm shrugs each side
10 1 arm side bends each side
10 side crunch each side
10 hanging crunches (tuck)

20 in and out
10 roll to boat hold
20 ARX bicycle
10 full sit up
10 hanging leg raise sides

X2
10 Front raise
10 Halo
10 Curls
20 weighted In and Out
20 Russian Twists
10 Pullups

X2
10 Laying Press
10 Laying Pullover
10 Laying Fly
10 Weighted Rainbows
10 Flying scissors each side
10 Pullups

Let me just explain the flying scissors since it was a made up thing! Laying on your side with head on the ground so you are flat, not up on your elbow. Raise your top leg as far as you can (above 45 degrees) then hold. With your bottom leg, lift it to meet your top leg and repeat 10 times.

It hurt.

A lot.

BUT… It is a fancy new move!! Actually it’s based on the old aerobics thigh lifts we used to do raising your lower leg to trim your inner thigh, it’s just this is an updated 21st Century version.

R9D71 Bootcamp Bodyweight Personal Training Styleee!

I have been neglectful of this page this week with everything I have going in to being a single parent for the week. In order to catch up, I am posting twice with the bootcamps that I have done. Day 71 was Bodyweight but I only had one participant so basically it was an hour of brutality for her and a walk in the park for me. This is what we did:

10 Regular Pushup
10 Air Squats
10 Military Pushup
10 Pistol knee raise

10 Ultra wide pushup
10 Back lunge front kick
10 Plange Pushup
10 Super skaters

With Partner
10 Squat ball pass
10 Back to back lean twist pass
10 Wall sit side to side pass
10 Full situp ball pass (Throw not pass)
10 Pullups

10 One hand on ball pushup
10 Side to side one hand on ball pushup
20 Single hand ball touch
10 Double hand ball touch
10 Pullups

With Partner
10 Squat ball pass
10 Back to back lean twist pass
10 Horse stance ball throw
10 Full situp ball pass (Throw not pass)
10 Pullups

10 Overhead squat
10 Wall ball
10 Overhead tricep wall throw
10 Between Knees hold, double elbow sit up
10 Leg Lifts

Apparently this was a tough one for her, and I think it’s partly because one on one is always more demanding because you have nowhere to hide your skipped reps and partly because it was mostly new stuff for both of us. It was so tough in fact that come Wednesday she was too sore to do the next class. Now that is a workout!!

 

R9D69-70 – Disappointed (Bootcamp Off)

So nobody turned up for bootcamp last week. My kids weren’t participating because they have competition this week and among the litany of excuses there was zero participation. That said, I have a new, and I think  fun, workout to do so bring on Monday so I can try this puppy out!

So on Friday I was forced to do an RKC workout at work during which a Yoga class broke out. It was a fairly standard workout but the numbers were a little different:

5 C&P Left
5C&P Right
5 C&P Left
5C&P Right
5 C&P Left
5C&P Right
20 Swings

Repeat 4 more times for a total of 5 rounds.

Add 5 Snatch per side 3 times and there you have it.

Saturday I made an attempt at PAP Upper again and I have to say I enjoyed it a little more this time but it’s still just not a tough enough workout for me. I am trying to make it as hard as I can but it doesn’t quite manage to hit the spot for either heavy weight work or good cardio work. I am sure I will get used to it but I can’t see it becoming a favourite. Then again, I have had an on and off love affair with Kenpo so you just never know!

This week with my wife out of town I am hoping to get some extra physical work done. If I can make this a solid 5 or 6 days of working out then I figure I can get rid of this ever so slight feeling of laziness and get my sleeping schedule back on track.

R9D61 – Bootcamp 3.2.2 Bodyweight Abs

They asked for an abs workout so this is what I did to them today. It was not as hard as I had imagined it would be, but then again I sneezed this morning and thought my body had exploded à la Mr Creosote.

Still it could be worse, I could be at Planet Fitness having Krispy Kremes after my elliptical “workout”

R9D59 and 60 – RKC at Work and Bootcamp 3.2.1 Cardio

Week 2 of bootcamp starts with cardio. For some reason, maybe because I am slightly under the weather, my heartrate was the highest I have ever seen it during this workout. At one point I think I saw 172 on my HR monitor which for me is insane!

Beats the elliptical that’s for sure!

In order to bridge the gap from last week I snuck in an RKC workout at work again on Friday. It’s becoming my escape route from skipping workouts on the weekend – a bad habit I need to break! It was the same basic workout, Clean and Press with swings plus 5×5 snatch at the end.
