At Small Group Training, Danny had us do a circuit. First up was the box step (for me, it was the step up thing used in aerobic classes). Then, we moved on to 25 pound disc swings, then rows with a 45 pound plate. After that, we had a cardio station for 3 minutes (I was on the elliptical, while the others alternated between the spin bike, stairmaster, and rowing machine). We went through the circuit about 3 or 4 times I think. Lucky for me, Danny trains someone in between SGT and my training session, so I got a mini breather. Back to the ellipticals. Then, I tried my hand at the treadmill. Nothing too fast...faster than a meandering walk but not quite a brisk pace. After that, it was time for training.
So for training, you guessed it...circuits. This time my cardio was the treadmill. I started out at a 2.0% incline and walking about 2.7 mph. I was amazed at how quickly I got winded. Then, once my 3 minutes was up, I did 20 dumbbell curls with 15 pound weights. Finally, I had to do 15 push-ups. I'm not going to lie. I can't do real push-ups yet. I can't even do "girl" push-ups. But, I can do push-ups using the Gravitron machine. We did 3 rounds of this and then Danny said he had a surprise.
Then he said to grab our keys...we were going outside. I thought we were going to walk/jog around the shopping center. Nope. Danny gets in his Jeep and the next thing I know is that Sara and I are pushing the Jeep while he is steering. Once we finished that, it was time for individual rounds. I was up first. Yep. I pushed that Jeep. Got it where it needed to go. Sara did it too. There is video evidence of this event but I do not know how to insert it on blog. Nonetheless, I must admit I am a little proud of myself. Three months ago I would've laughed in your face. Today I'm facing struggles head on. What's up next, Danny? Bring it on.
