More Met-Con Workouts

Tonight was a good night at Unity Martial Arts. We have a "Focus Class" on Tuesday evenings, where we work on material outside of 'normal' belt progression material. Tonight we worked on sparring. Sparring in itself can be a tough workout. Sensei Tanner made it a little harder by having us concentrate on kicks. This meant we wore out our legs during the sparring exercises.

For our workout, I concentrated on metabolic conditioning again. Our WOD was:

As Many Rounds As Possible In 7 Minutes of:
Shuttle Runs
10 Burpees

I only managed to finish 5 Rounds and a shuttle run before the 7 minutes was up. My legs were burning, especially during the burpees. I almost used the shuttle runs as recovery efforts for the burpees.

Class Report and Morning Exercise Routine

Led a CX Fitness class through Tabata intervals with push ups and sit ups last night. Hilarity ensued when they tried to finish the last couple of sets of push ups. Lots of grunting with little movement. =D

This morning was a "Thirsty Thirty" workout. Kind of a scaled down version of the Crossfit Filthy Fifty. I included fewer exercises and fewer reps to keep the intensity higher and to allow the class to finish quickly.

Push Ups
Tuck Jumps
Jumping Jacks
Squats
Sit Ups
Burpees

By the time I got to the burpees, I was breathing REALLY hard. I broke the burpees up into sets of 5, just to get through. Finished in 7:47. My companion finished in 9:34.
