50 or 35
So this week has been interesting. Poor kiddo had to go to the doctor on Monday for an abscess and get it popped and on Tuesday he got his adenoids removed. Monday I did my cardio: 20min hard intervals, 2min hard, 1min recovery
Tuesday: no workout
Wednesday: decided to do something different this week to shake things up, I worked legs, but only bodyweight, but 50 reps for 3 sets of 4 different exercises, can you say: burn? With some ss cardio in between:
10min on treadmill, 10min on ellpictical, 10min on rbike, finished with 15min on treadmill
squats feet together:bwx50×3
lunges: bwx50×3
sumo squats: bwx50×3
calf raises: bwx50×3
Later I did 20min hard intervals on treadmill, hard run for 2min, 1min recovery
Today I did back, but only 35 reps per set, my shoulder would give out and be useless for chest day tommorow if I did 50 with all this darn rain.
Cardio in between, broken into 10min segments, all on treadmill for 40minutes
supine pullups: bwx35×3
T’s on floor: bwx35×3
supine chinups: bwx35×3
back ext off of ab bench: bwx35×3
Later I did 20min hard intervals on rbike, 2min hard, 1min recovery
Rainy here, I miss the nice weather. My kiddo seems to be doing ok, his throat hurts when he swallows. He was too cute after taking some meds to relax him prior to surgery, it was like he was stoned, I couldn’t help but laugh at him, which he found funny.

Very glad to hear your son’s doing OK. That’ll get your focus redirected, won’t it? I’m thinking you may need to be renamed The Volume Queen. Nice going on the sets & reps!

Thanks Al. Yep the kiddo had me worried having surgery but it went smoothly.
Steve my legs hurt! Oh well its a good kind of hurt.

Kermane, have you tried 30 second sprint, 30 second "jog" pace HIIT yet? Or what do you mean by "hard" on your intervals? (Hit X heart rate?) Just wondering…
Sounds like some intense workouts! Nicely done! Has your son asked what the adenoids do yet? If not, you can tell him they contained his naughty side, he can’t be as naughty now. ;P

No I haven’t tried the 30 second/30 second ones yet, I plan on it.
Intervals I did today:4min wu
2min hard at 8.5
1min recovery at 5mph
repeat until 16th minute, then 4min cooldown.
Good idea on the adenoids, but he hasn’t even asked what they did, lol.
