Happy Valentine's Day♥♥♥

The topic of husbands working out with us came up a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to have a Valentine’s Day version of Suffer today.  Husbands were invited to join our weekly workout, and two showed up!  We had 8 people . . . 2 couples and 4 ladies, and it worked out very well.  This was our workout . . .

Heavy Rope :30 + Sledge Hammer :30, Rest :30

Sled :30 + Jumps :30, Rest :30

Med Ball Throws 1:00, Rest :30

Jump Rope or Bike 1:00, Rest :30

We did 5 rounds for 30 minutes and the husbands got a good taste of how hard the ladies have been working, which is a good thing.  After we finished the circuit, some got on the bikes for a quick finisher, while the rest of us did a shuttle run drill. 

I think next weekend, we might have a couple more spouses join us, who were unable to come this week.  It is actually a great thing because my clients often mention that their spouses wonder what we do during our training sessions.  Joining our Suffer on Sunday, they get to experience part of what we do first-hand!


Suffer on Sunday – Bonus Workout

I will be offering Sunday morning bonus workouts to my clients.  It will be free, anyone can join the “fun”, and I will be working out with them.  Most likely, these Suffer on Sunday workouts will be intense and quick.  Including foam roll, warm-ups and stretching, we’ll be finished in less than an hour.  I figured that since I’ll be doing the workout anyway, I might as well have some workout buddies.  Here was our workout today. . .

Rope (variations) x 30 seconds

KB Swings x 30 seconds

Sledgehammer x 30 seconds

Sled Push x 30 seconds

Rest x 30 seconds – 1 minute

We started off resting 30 seconds, but after 4 rounds, we all agreed we needed a 1 minute rest for the second half of the workout.  It was 20 grueling minutes of work, but we were all glad we finished and worked hard. 

Thanks to JS, KG, and SS for making it this morning!  It was nice to have company for my workout!  Great effort!
