Cycle Thursday

As I go to boot camp more and more I can detect a slight pattern in how the instructor (John) likes to schedule our class routines.  Thursday has been set aside for spinning on bikes with little mini stations that have 5-7 minute break out sessions.  The sessions are random and generally are cardio burners such as running around the spin room like chickens with our heads cut off until we return back to the bike for another 20 min stint.

The room where we spin has glass all around it and I often wonder what people in the gym are thinking as they look in on us running around, jumping like we have eaten a thousand sugar gum drops, throwing balls around like we are playing dodge ball and whaling our arms around while we run faster and faster.  It is truly fun but often when you are going through it at 5am you usually are thinking... Have I gone mad?

This session in between our bike stint we did the following exercises:

• Step ups with 4 steps going from side to side with a 10lbs cardio ball
• 50 push ups (I only do 30) I am not crazy
• Jumping jacks with 5lbs weights in each hand for one minute straight
• Suicides
• Ball with crunches

The session was intense!
