Day 2 feels

This one is quick for now. I may or may not add on to it later.

I didn't stick with my food plans completely. Removed the salad and dinner plan for a smoothie and chicken/broccoli.

We learned/did:

  • wall balls
  • ball slams
  • situps
  • burpees
  • assault bike
  • basics of kettlebell swings (russian! Ha, remembered!)
  • basics of deadlifts
  • basics of some kind of lift... I'll find the name later.
The wall balls worked on my squats, and while they hurt, and I was slow, I think I managed to score many more in form and on target than not. The ball slams were fun, and worked the shit out of my abs. I don't recall if that's what they should do? But, that's what happened. The deadlift kicked my back's ass. He said that's good, and I'm all, OK. Kettlebell was fun. The lift thingy was the hardest from a technical standpoint. When I'd keep my head forward, I'd forget to keep my elbows up and forearms out. I kept lifting in a rainbow arc instead of straight line.

I need to get that shit in line. The burpee was embarrassing because I have no balance and no flexibility. We do a very basic modified version with no hopping, everything is a step (except for the reach back). But, we step back to our hands and step up. Every single time I step up, I'd have to take a step out because I don't bend that far (belly...) and have zero balance. 

...... the assault bike. So, He told me to grab my inhaler, and I'm all "I'm not gonna need it!" Lies. Of course I needed it, have you been on an air resistance bike before?!?! It kicked my butt. I don't know if I did a good time or not, but he had us burn a certain amount of calories and record that time. I burned 10 cals in 29 seconds. The goal now is to double the calories in the same amount of time, so 20 calories in 29 seconds. 

Goal: complete 2x of 15 ball slams and 25 situps in 4 minutes.

Actual: Completed 1 full set, completed 15 ball slams and 1 situp in other set.
