I decided for Valentines Day this year hubby and I are going to take a RealRyder class together early in the am (10am) and then out for brunch - just the two of us! Rather than spend money on cards and chocolates we should do something fun together, and given our recent drive to be healthier I thought this was a perfect option! We are both now firmly on the 'health and exercise wagon' so it's great that this appeals to both of us! Have I mentioned that hubby has lost 15 lbs in two weeks! He's a machine - and I'm very proud of him. He claims he never would have gotten back into it if it wasn't for me sticking with my own regime so well : )
Hey, back to the TRX check out this article on the TRX:

I have a love - hate relationship with my TRX...I LOVE the way it immediately isolates each muscle group during an exercise, but I also HATE the way it immediately isolates each muscle : } It means I can't do nearly as many reps as I normally would but I feel like I'm getting the same workout. Generally, after using the TRX doing a hwhole body workout I become jello!
Today's workout at noon was
holy-friggin hard awesome! We did interval training, which really is alot like a tabata. Its 30 seconds of exercise and 10 second rest for a total of 4 minutes (6 reps and 6 rests = 4 minutes). We warmed up with a few minutes of skipping and then did three interval's - pull ups, squat/jumps, and 'cobra' pushups. There was some cardio, but a larger part of the workout was the strength training - I'll feel this one in the morning!
Must off and get some rest - hubby and I have our RealRyder class tomorrow morning! Can't wait...I hope my bottom doesn't get as sore this week - last week I tried a padded seat cover, but it actually made it more sore! I'll keep you posted!
Nite
