Cyndi and I weren't too sure what we were getting into when we donned the weighted vests and Rita explained to "take everything with you" as we wouldn't be returning to the school site. We were headed to the hill.
After our normal work out (with the weighted vests), we started with walking lunges up a short hill then another short jog to the hill. I didn't have my garmin so I couldn't really figure the distance and grade but I would think it was about 1/8th of a mile and got as steep as a 14% grade. I'll have to check it next time.
We walked it up and down hard and then did a jog at 70% effort. That's when I learned I may have been running wrong all this time as Rita suggested that I don't cross my arms in front of my body but pump them from forward to back on the sides. In between up and down trips alternating backward walking and quicker running we did push ups on the wall.
It was about our third trip up that I decided I was definitely going to take Tuesday off from working out. This morning was my 4th day in a row. Friday was normal boot camp, Saturday was a 3 mile jog with Jessy for her birthday on the Bolsa's trail and Sunday was a 4.4 mile hike up vista trail in O'Neil park.
We ended with over 100 crunches and our normal cool down stretch. Boy it felt light to peel off the weighted vest. I realized that with the weight I had lost over the last year, it really wasn't good to be putting that kind of stressed on the body all the time.
As the day wore on while sitting at my desk, my muscles began to tighten and I would get sorer and sorer. Just glad my girls aren't around to laugh at me as I groan.
Tomorrow, I think I'll sleep in a little so I can rest up for Wild Wednesday.
