Workout Wednesdays: Oct 10 – Oct 16

Most of my workouts revolved around the Halloween Challenge, even though early in the challenge the workouts were super easy.  I was still dealing with some gluten-exposure issue through the week and didn’t do Thursday yoga because we went to see “How to Train Your Dragon” Live, which was a great show.  I did make it to Friday’s yoga and was happy to see that Mary was teaching this class.  She had us holding warriors for a long time and my quads were burning!  I still can’t wear my vibrams because my stupid broken pinkie toe is still too swollen and sore if I try to jam it in there.  I hate working out in tennis shoes.  I’m giving it one more week and then I’m wearing them whether it hurts or not.

As a reminder, here’s the challenge that started on Sunday, October 7 and goes until Halloween.  Lo started doing it 4 days late so he just caught up on the first 4 days in one workout.  I think my other friends are still doing it too.  I found the easiest way to figure out how many to do is to multiply the started number (5,4,3,2,1) by the day of the challenge – 5 squats x day 5 = 25 squats, etc.

Wednesday, October 10

• Noon – Elliptical:  I don’t remember why I didn’t do anything harder, I just didn’t.  I think I was still iffy from the gluten-exposures.  
• Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 4: 20 squats, 16 lunges, 12 situps, 8 pushups, and 4 burpees.

Thursday, October 11

• Noon – Spinning: I hadn’t been to class in a long time and it was nice to be back in the saddle, though I was a little saddle sore the next day!
  
• Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 5: 25 squats, 20 lunges, 15 situps, 10 pushups, and 5 burpees

Friday, October 12

• Noon – Capital Club Yoga: This was harder than Mary’s lunchtime classes usually are, but it was good.  I was feeling better with my vinyasas. 
  
• Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 6: 30 squats, 24 lunges, 18 situps, 12 pushups, and 6 burpees.

Saturday, October 13

• Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 7: 35 squats, 28 lunges, 21 situps, 14 pushups, and 7 burpees.  I could feel this in my legs today from yoga the day before.

Sunday, October 14

• Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 8: 40 squats, 32 lunges, 24 situps, 16 pushups, and 8 burpees.  I was having a terrible day, so I just wanted to be done with this.

Monday, October 15

• Noon – 30 minute Elliptical and Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 9:  45 squats, 36 lunges, 27 situps, 18 pushups, and 9 burpees.  It’s started to get a little harder – mostly just the pushups and full situps burn by the end.

Tuesday, October 16

• Noon – Capital Club Yoga
• Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 10:  50 squats, 40 lunges, 30 situps, 20 pushups, and 10 burpees.  I did this right before my volleyball game and it definitely warmed me up.
• 8:15 p.m. – Dublin Reverse Co-ed Volleyball:  I always get a workout from this league since it’s women-hit.  I was started to feel a little worn out by the end of the game for some reason.
