Ironman Post #10 – January 6, 2010

Ouch! No regular update today, I did no running, riding or swimming. But I did do a new workout that simply kicked this Ironman wannabe’s butt.

45 minutes long, four stations, each station was a minute long and when that time was up you sprinted to the next station.

Station #1. Cardio stop

Station #2. Machine weight stop (the machine weight means those simple machines that you place a pin into to change the weight)

Station #3. Free weight stop (any thing barbell or dumbbells)

Station #4. Body weight stop (Push up, Planks are examples) This means using nothing but your own bodyweight.

After the first round it was the persons job to find four new exercises for each station.

I actually had the pleasure of doing this with a bunch of Personal Trainers and they all knew I was the Ironman wannabe and they really gave it to me.

So ouch!

Sometime it is a good thing to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. Well, I will be trying this one again and intergrating this into my training. I think it will be good on those days when I am feeling a little flat.
