I think my new favorite exercise (at least for this week) are TRX tabatas. They are no joke. I formatted yesterday’s class to incorporate 2 moves on the band (to fatigue), then do two moves with dumbbells that use the same muscle groups. After those were complete, we would do a 90 seconds cardio burst. We did this for 5 rounds, but I snuck in two different tabatas to really get our blood pumping. The first was TRX squat jumps and the second was Swimmer Starts (shown at minute 1:20).
I originally planned to get in a quick run after class, but since my muscles were pretty much dead after class, I just walked back to my car and headed home. I got a pretty sweet sunset shot on the walk to my car
Today’s funny story is brought to you by….ME!
I am still pretty much a child in that when I see something, like a duck, I’ll either shout “duck!” or “quack!” Or I read signs aloud as we drive by. Stuff like that. On an unrelated note, we are getting our roof done (they came and delivered the materials 2 weeks ago, we are just waiting for them to come back and actually do it.) Anyways, because we were in the process of picking out what color roof, we would point out ones we liked when we were out walking Layla. So, the other day when we were in the car, I noticed a lot of houses in a row were getting their roofs re-done. So I yelled “roof!” and Tyler goes……”you saw a dog? What kind?”
Hhahahaha, does anyone see the humor in this? My idiot self shouting ROOF sounded like WOOF. I really need to grow up and not proclaim things as I see them.
Read this post about plateauing. You will laugh.
I found some REALLY BAD pictures from college. So I thought I’d share some of them with you. This is prior to he existence of facebook, so these are what I like to call ‘rare finds.’ Enjoy. Or barf.
I am a LOSER.
So I’ll leave you with something a little bit cuter to look at. Layla.
Do you like TRX? Tabatas? Have a terrible college picture you’d like to share?
You class sounds awesome!! I want to come!! 🙂 I love oldie photos tooooo fun! And of course your pup is adorable!!
TRX is so great because you don’t have to kill yourself to get a great workout in!
Those old photos were ones I took with a disposable camera, then scanned into my computer circa 2004. hahah!
haha dying with that picture of us! really digging that orange hair and saint a’s tummy thanks to the caf!
We definitely thought we were the sh*t. Yeah, the caf killed me (hence my love for stretchy pants)
Never done tabatas on the TRX. I have always done my tabatas on the bike or treadmill.
Oooh, you should try them! Round 1 and 2 is like “ahh no biggie, then by 6, 7, and 8……ouch!
I have never tried TRX but it is on my list as I have heard so many great things about it!
It’s so good because your body is the ‘dumb bell’. Makes you SUPER sore though!
TRX is an awesome and challenging workout in itself THEN add tabatas makes it that much more intense!! Love the challenge though-I feel it for days!
I took a TRX class once that was strictly tabatas. Needless to say, the next day was a designated ‘rest’ day!!
