Adrenaline Hit

I chose an advanced workout today. I really wanted to sleep, but somehow got my buns up and to the gym. I guess since I was feeling sluggish, I decided to throw myself into a super hard workout. Not sure that makes sense.

This workout was hard.  There were a few times during it when I was telling my phone to “shut up.” Mostly when the woman on the other end said, “you can do it!” I wasn’t so sure I could or that I wanted to.

But I did..I made it through. It always comes back to “no one ever regrets going to the gym.” That’s so true. I never do these grueling workouts and regret it afterwards. I’m always proud of myself and happy that I took on the challenge. During my exercises is a different story. That’s usually the time when I regret walking through the door (mountain climbers for a minute? I hate you Nike Trainer).

Anyway, here was the workout. It definitely was advanced, I was huffing and puffing the entire time.

Adrenaline Hit- Get Lean–Advanced

• Back Pedal– 1 minute. This becomes challenging for me since the track at our gym curves several times. One of these days I’ll hit the wall, hopefully I don’t fall over the railing.
• High Knee Runs– 1 minute
• Walking Lunge– 1 minute
• Light Jog– 2 minutes
• Recover– 2 minutes
• Squat Hold– 1 minute. Just chillin’ in a squat.
