First, I did vinyasa yoga at work. I was so proud of myself because I was able to do some things I've never been able to do. After class my fav yoga teacher Heather told me I rocked it and was praising some of my pose progress! Woo!
So then, hell began. I went to The 12 studio. This place does targeted circuit training. Everyday they focus on different parts of the body. Sounds great right!? Well. Today was fucking arm day. Have you done vinyasa yoga?!? ITS A LOT OF ARM WORK WITH YOUR OWN BODY WEIGHT AS RESISTANCE. Get where I am going?!
Well I get there. First time. Already loved the blaring music choices. Yes! House music and then Notorious BIG!! Fuck yes!!!
Warm up: 3 minutes of burpees with alternating push ups. 1 burpee with a push-up, 1 burpee with no push-up, 2 burpees with push ups and 2 burpees with no push-ups, etc. For 3 fucking minutes. I died. I did it with a few breaks but I died.
Circuits.
4 stations with 3 exercises. You'll do each exercise for 40 seconds and move into the next. You repeat the station 3 times all the way through, once you're done you get a 90 second break and on to the next station.
Breakdown:
Station 1-
Chest flys (I did 15lb weights)
Dumbbell squats (I did 20lb weights)
Push-ups while on a medicine ball
(40 seconds each and repeat 3x)
Station 2-
Resistance band pulls
TRX skull crushers
Butterfly press (with 15lb dumbbells)
(40 seconds each and repeat 3x)
Station 3-
Chest press (15lb & 20lb dumbells)
Standing bike with resistance (this was a huge deal for me as I didnt think i could do this and I did!!!! All 3 times!)

Station 4-
Incline treadmill on 7.0 while running at 5.5 speed
