The Christmas workout!
Posted on December 27, 2009
Today was a great day in the gym. I joined a Pilates class and it was a great experience. My transversus really got challenged, but I was in good shape because of the many ball exercises I've been doing.
After the class I did bi's and tri's with my training partner Anders. Finished off on the stairmaster 30min. I wonder if you can trust those calorie counters.. It said that I had burned off 485 calories in 30min!!! I want to believe! LOL
Yesterday was off-day from training. Yesterday I also promised to share some pics of my crazy Christmas workout with you today. I haven't forgotten!
Alright, on the 24th Anders and I got into a crazy Christmas Day groove.It all started very serious with some stability exercises. You saw those pics yesterday. Then we moved on to chest. There was a great atmosphere in the gym. All the instructors were wearing Christmas hats. They were joking around and taking photos of everybody. I thought: "Hey, let's take a few pics for the blog." Anders was on. The instructors came with Christmas hats because it was Christmas Day and the pics had to be Christmassy!
The workout started out hardcore with dumbell presses, incline smith machine presses, a tri-set of cable crossovers and finished off in the pec deck.
A few smiles at the beginning of the workout...
...And then to the hardcore stuff...
...this is where things started to get... a little weird...
...and even weirder...
LOL... we are goofballs I know... we had this competition: "Who could look the ugliest on camera." And as I love a good competition I'm in of course. I'll let you be the judge! I think I'm a pretty good candidate for 1st prize though! LOL
After our pretty goofy workout I attacked the rowing ergometer - Rowed 2.5 km / 1.6 miles. Averaged 2min per 500 m / 547 yards. Then 2 sprint sessions of 2min each. Then 20min on the stairmaster and finished off with 20min on the cross trainer. That was it - ready to go home. I was pretty quiet the rest of the evening lol.
Hitting the ergometer...
Christmas dinner was great. Had some duck and turkey without skin, potatoes and red cabbage. After, a small rice pudding w cherry sauce and some chocolates. Was all I wanted. Could have gone for more but I was good.
The next day, 25th I had great energy. Went to a pump class(weight training with music - lots of reps) it was pretty cool. My friend Ricky, who owns the gym, did the class and he did a great job! 1.5 hours of crazy high rep full body workout! Afterwards I did my back workout. Had a real good feel and contact to the muscles I wanted to hit.
That was my Christmas training guys:) Very happy with it... got to do some more cardio and shedded off some more pounds. Weight is down to 81,5kg / 179.3 lbs!
Take care till next update!
