Humidity

I have to say that I'm officially done with stretch of 100% humidity that we've been having lately - it makes me hot, sticky and irritable....gggrrrrhhhhhh! As a friend put it, we don't have a humadex we have a hair-a-dex! If my hair gets any larger it will require its own postal code!

As for working out, this weather doesn't inspire me - however the Studio IS air conditioned with helps for the first 5 mins of workout, then I'm just hot and sticky. AND, they do have lovely showers - I blast that sucker on full cold and just stand there....mmmmmmmm.

So, we are in the Tues, Thursday workout schedule now, which means that I'll likely not post on those 'rest' days unless something exciting happens. Today was a TRX/Kettlebell mix that was excellent! It incorporated my new favorite (not sure why I like it when I find it hard to do) bulldogs with feet in the TRX (and a 20 lb bell)! Here's what I can remember (there was more, but my brain has turned to sponge):
  • one leg lunges with a bell pressed overhead (20 per leg)
  • 2 minutes of swinging double handed,
  • turkish get-ups (10 per side)
  • bulldogs (20 per side)
  • a reverse squat move (20 total) - dropping you bum to the ground and back upright (squeezing bum to get up) arms overhead
  • on the ground - one foot in strap, raising and lowering butt from the ground into a plank (other foot straight up in the air) (20 per leg)
  • 2 minutes of swinging to finish
Once I got home I opted for another hour of cardio sweating and mowed the lawn....phew! It was more cardio cause its so damn hard to breath in this weather!

I'm good and tired, and so sticky that I believe I'm gonna have a quick shower to cool off!

Later!

PS Eating was good today, I packed a great lunch - but after workout I went into a full afternoon of meetings and actually didn't get to eat my main course until 4pm. Being busy certainly helps with reducing the snacking!
