Terriffic TRX!

I'm fighting off a cold or something so I was thinking my noon hour workout would be less than motivated. Not so, even with the killer TRX training we did today.

For those who aren't familiar with the TRX, its a suspension training system that uses your own body weight and gravity to give an amazing workout. The really great thing about this system is that its inexpensive ($135 Can), light weight and easily store (can be taken anywhere). Here is a video - the third exercise shown here is what Laurissa calls the 'piston' (we did these today!). What's better than how small and easy to use is that with the TRX you can literally work every muscle group with this one piece of equipment - OMG, I sound like an info-mercial!!



We skipped for about 5 minutes to warm up, and then right into our routine. We were running late today, so Laurissa had us moving though at a pertty good pace. Here's out routine today:

1. Shoulder work *can't remember name* (TRX) (15)
2. Push-ups (12)
3. Pistions (TRX) (15)
4. Plank with knee lift (into chest) (10 per leg)
5. Pistons (TRX (15)
6. Reverse plank with leg lift (sort of like a bridge with a leg lift) (15)
7. Pistons (TRX) (15)
8. Walk outs (standing, hands on ground, walk hands out into plank -hold - walk hands back to upright) (10)
9. Pistons (TRS) (15)

The good thing about being in meetings all day is that there is less chance to cheat and eat things I shouldn't. The bad thing is that its hard to step out and grab a quick snack to make sure you're keeping up with the eating ever 3 hours rule - however I did do just that! I have learned to make the time for me and not appologize for it!

When I actually got home early I took advantage - I grabbed the girls and we were off for a brisk 30 minute walk on this spring-like day! Once home I had 2 whole wheat pita sandwiches, yogurt (low fat), glass of milk and a handful of almonds. Mmmm, simple but good (I did mention that I HATE to cook? ;)

Now almost 8 o'clock and I have the munchies ... I'm going to have to get creative and find a reasonable treat - the cubbards are bare as its payday tomorrow! Oh well, I guess there is less for me to worry about tonight! LOL!

Nitey nite all
