10.53 – Bootcamp Weights. Flirting With Exhaustion.

The last few days have been awful from a physical standpoint. I have spent all last week and so far this week standing in freezing network closets recabling hundreds of network drops and installing upgraded switches. It has caused me not to be able to eat at my normal times and in fact I have found myself not eating at all during the day. On Tuesday after bootcamp it caught up with me, I felt nauseated, weak and had a massive headache and I have a feeling today may not be any better. I guess we will see, but I need some serious rest I think.

10.43&4 – WOD Monday and Bootcamp Weights With Balance!

Tony H bringing stability balls into the male gym rat psyche.

Monday was kind of a compromise, I asked the girls to come up with several moves and I put the numbers up. What we ended up with was a fast (sub-10 minute) workout that was appropriate given the length of training and the heat.

5-10-15-20-15-10-5
Push Ups
V Snaps
Air Squats
Double box dips

It’s 80 reps of each but for such light movements we really should have gone to 25 which would have put the total at 125 each. Even that would only have been 15 minutes. Without doing pullups, these WOD type workouts are very short, sometimes too short but like I said, given the situation, it was fine.

Tuesday bootcamp was weights and balance which meant stability ball use and dumbbells. I liked this workout, it is basic and at the same time challenging due to the balance component, especially when you alternate sides! It looked like this:

10.23 – 70% and Bootcamp Weights

I finally made it back to 70% participation, however it will dip as I take today off to rest but I assure you by next week I will be comfortably in the sweet spot! Last night was bootcamp weights and I threw in some stability ball sitting to get the core working and to prevent the small cheats I tend to see when standing using dumbbells. It was not a hard class, but it was a varied and challenging class…

Something I am eating is pushing my hydration out of whack. My hydration scale can’t arrive soon enough! I hate it when you can’t find the culprit however I think it is the assorted spice mix I am using since our pepper mill gave up the ghost.

10.10-11 – Rest Plus Bootcamp Weights

 

The rest day was a welcome break. I realize just how out of shape I am compared to when I was up at 70% participation, it’s amazing how a little bit of slacking off can make you feel like a lazy ass. Bootcamp day 2 was weights and heavy on the arms and shoulders since I was feeling a little lightweight in that area. The workout was good, but having a limited amount of dumbbells means that the participants aren’t quite getting the workout I want. I wish we had a bunch of 15lb dbs to use, it would really bridge the gap to the next level.

Anyway, here is what we did:

R9D89 – Bootcamp Weights

It was hot, but not as bad as it has been. Couple that with weights day and we are back in the enjoyment zone of bootcamp! Although some were a little sore after Monday I think it was a well received class. The atmosphere in the gym is lightening every day, the girls have their last competition on Saturday and that means the end of monotonous routines and time for new skills. Not only that, but the bootcamp is making a difference to people and I think it is being appreciated more as an activity and less as a torture device. Summer is going to be great!

R9D48 – Bootcamp 2.10.2 Weights Plus More Distractions

Yes I am as old as dirt. I’m happy that I don’t look it. Try to keep up!

Last night was weights Bootcamp, I had set up a couple of Olympic bars with 35’s in the hope that I could encourage some of the class to try some heavier lifting but I think it may have been over reaching a little. Next time we will try with some 10’s and not bite off more than they can chew! It was a bit of an odd class, we didn’t do pullups since we have done a lot of that lately and also no abs since we fried them on Monday so it was a little bit of legs and then some heavy arm and shoulder work.

Tonight I am off to Burlington Gymnastics to learn how to set up the ProScore system and that probably means no workout. For tomorrow we have a wedding during the day and then I am off to Burlington again to stay overnight to be ready for the Burlington Meet on Sunday where I will be learning how to work the ProScore system during the competition. It’s a busy weekend so workout time will be at a premium. However…. I am in a hotel Saturday evening which means a decent gym area hopefully, or I can do RKC in my room which I am a big fan of doing while on the road. I need to rack up a minimum of 3 workouts before Sunday night and so maybe taking P90X2 and my laptop to the hotel is a good idea. If I can work out at work today that would be a bonus, not sure how tight my time will be today but that would put me ahead of the curve a little. I am not sure if you can tell but I have some heavy guilt from the easy workout schedule I have been on the last 2 weeks. I am not where I want to be with the P90X2 workouts and even though the success of the bootcamp workouts is good, it’s not really enough to keep my Firstbeat Athlete Coach off my butt.

The whole bootcamp thing looked like this:
