Wipeout 2.15 Re-Cap

Last night's workout was interesting and different, but fun. I liked it very much. The "Adam" workout pretty much trashed my legs in just over 4 minutes. On paper, that workout doesn't sound so difficult, but in practice, it's HARD! I guess if I were to have a workout named after me, I'd want it to be an ass-kicker like that. Congratulations Adam.
The "Adam" workout consists of:
** For Time **
24 Air Squats
24 Lunges (each leg)
24 Jumping Lunges (each leg)
24 Jumping Squats

I can only speak to my own experience, but the "Adam" workout creeps up on you. The Air Squats and Lunges aren't that difficult, so you get lulled into a sense that this will be a breeze. Then the Jumping Lunges start, and Holy Crap! Those are hard. And they fry your legs, fast. But hold on, you still have to do the Jumping Squats. Ugh!

Well, we did it, and we recorded our times. Here they are:
Kirk - 3:45
Adam - 3:46
Dan S - 3:57
Tyler - 4:00
Laura - 4:06
Mark - 4:12
Teri - 4:19
David - 4:36
Jennifer - 4:53
Dan T - 5:52
Alex - 4:00*
*(Due to ACL injury, Alex did 9 Jumping Lunges and 12 Jumping Squats)
Nice job Alex, for knowing your limits. These workouts are to build strength, not cause injuries. Do what you can do, and we'll measure based on that.

After the "Adam", we finished up with our usual Circuit type workout, but with a twist. Kirk had mentioned trying a Tabata workout, so we did a Modified Tabata Circuit. There were 11 stations, and we were at each station for a total of 2 minutes: (20 sec On, 10 sec Rest) X 4. The 4th Rep in each Set got difficult! WOW!
I really like this structure. Much like the Lightning Round, you seem to push harder with a shorter interval. The Circuit Stations were as follows:
Arm Rotations (side)
Mountain Climbers
Water Jug Carry
Pull-ups
Jumping Jacks
Arm Rotations (overhead)
Mason Twist
Ring Pushups
Plank
Dips
Knee-Ups (pegboard)


Nice work everyone. Thanks for helping pick everything up so fast.
Remember, next week is the Fitness Test. I'm excited to see the results. I'm hoping for some gains from everyone. This is working, and the Fitness Test will show it. Have a great weekend. Try to get in your own workout.
