My first official workout for the blog!
I went to the YMCA this morning and did an Intense Intervals class. The typical format of the class is to alternate 2 drills two times through for 1 minute each. So, you work hard for 4 minutes, and then you get 1 minute recovery before the next set of drills.
The workout today was instructed by Brad, he shares this class and time slot with another instructor.
We started with a dynamic warm up and then got started!!
1. Bench toe taps
2. Bench step back lunge with a knee or kick.
1. Bench squat over the tops
2. Wall sit
1. Wide squat with a diagonal lateral raise (12 lbs. dumbbells)
2. Tuck jumps
1. Squat thrusts with a jump at the top
2. Triceps pushups (I had to do these from my knees)
1. Wide squat with upright row (12 lbs. dumbbells)
2. Shoulder Press
1. Ball Pushup
2. Ball prone hip extensions
1. Ball supine hamstring curls
2. Ball passes (feet to hands, and back)
Stretch!
Brad does a great job with giving adaptations to participants, he is very encouraging and makes you want to push yourself hard!
I wouldn't recommend this workout to newbies to fitness, but if you have been going to the gym for awhile and want to challenge yourself, check it out!
