Sunday Circuit

I didn't get out into the gym until late. Busy doing work at my desk but knew I would make it out before sundown.

It was bright. And hot. Two fans, a few wasps, and a bunch of lizards lounging and watching.

First up, biceps. Supersets. Three exercises: curls, db side raises, and hammer curls. Fifteen, 12, and 12 pounds, respectively. Three sets. Jumped rope to the count of 60 between each set. A good way to spike the heartbeat.

Next, triceps. Same routine with supersets and jump rope. Dips, cable pulldown, and overhead db. Body weight, four plates, and 15 pounds, respectively. Made it through two sets.

On to legs. Db squats with 15 pounds. Lunges the length of the garage and back, 12 up, 12 back. Then hit the floor to do work hams on the disk. Followed it up with 50 bicycles to zing the abs hard, about 30 crunches, and then slipped the disk under my back and burned about 20 more crunches out of my midsection.

303 calories. Felt like it should have been twice that. A great, great sweat. About 40 minutes total, including set up and tear down.

Favorites on the playlist All India Radio, Brandi Carlile, Alana Davis, Madonna (of course), Berlin, and The Cranberries.
