Powerfit class. Mix of strength and cardio exercises.

Was going to take a rest day today, but then Marco was a good influence and wanted to do a class this morning. Haven't done an endurance class in a long time and boy was it tough! Made it through though--phew!

StrengthFit class at Elite Performance. This day focuses on the military press before which I've never done. Need to work on keeping my elbows forward. The two rep max was hard (50lbs total for me) and my form broke down a little. Other exercises were weighted crunch, tank push, row, and push ups.

StrengthFit class. Thursdays focuses on deadlifts with the rep range 6,4,4,2. I was using the trap bar for a total of 110 lbs for the 2 rep range. I think I could go a little heavier, but since it was my first time doing heavy deadlifts wanted to start conservatively. Other exercises were neutral grip DB bench press, rows, dead bugs, and bicep curls. Super small class today because of the snow, which was nice for very personalized attention!

Oscar and I trudged through the snow to get to class. It started a little late as the instructor had to get over the bridge and the buses weren't running. Good class in the end with a variety of drills. Legs felt a little tired from class last night so started off with a low flat road gear.

Strenghtfit class. Still working on pull-ups and other upper body exercises. I tweaked something in my shoulder (only felt it after class), so hopefully it goes away soon.

My new volunteer shift is on Tuesdays, and fortunately the person I work with seemed fine if I take a class during the shift. It helps pass the time, especially as this is a much longer shift than what I initially was doing on Monday nights. Not quite sure the best schedule as I kind of wanted to do classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings, so that'd be 3 days in a row. I'll figure something out.
