Gym Jones Week

It's all Gym Jones style workouts this week. Monday was the plyos class which was good. Those classes are much harder when we only have 4 or so people, which has been the last few times. So it's actually pretty good there's a poor turnout cause I'm all about the go, go, go.

Tuesday was the first Gym Jones workout this week. I started with the row machine. 2K in about 7.5 minutes. Then I did some dead lifts and pull ups. I was doing sets of 10x at 135# for the dead lifts and did 5 pull ups in between. 4 sets and then I did some floor wipers, also with 135#. After that I did some box jumps using the step things (14 boxes). Finally, some medicine ball work with their heaviest ball, 10#. A bunch of different throw downs, ups and catches. I also added some ab work with the med ball just to finish it all off. Oh wait, forgot about 10 minutes of interval running at the very end.

Wednesday was a rest day. The wife said I needed rest, which was true but annoying. I'm not a big fan of resting. And generally my days are not quite as good when I don't workout. But Giannina was right, I was a little sick and needed some rest.

This morning was another 4:30a start. Pretty much the same workout as Tuesday. Some small differences. I upped the weight on the dead lifts and was doing 12 reps. I also didn't have time to do the interval run at the end. I modified some of the box jumps. I did some plyo style jumps with one big box followed by a slightly smaller one. Jump to the big one, then quickly down and up to the smaller one, followed by a final jump. That was pretty much it for today.

Tomorrow will probably be more of the same. And hopefully this weekend I'll get the garage all cleaned so I can resume P90X Plus. I'm actually really liking the current workouts, but the time investment is a bit of an issue. Plus waking up between 4a and 5a can get a little rough day in and day out. I also want to see my results from doing the Plus. So far, it's been pretty good I think. Maybe next time I'll post some pics with my Plus day 1 pics and my day 30s.
