Tuesday's Circuit Workout

Dropped my bags at the desk this morning and jump right into my workout. I'm not nearly as sore or stiff as I was after last weeks work out and yesterday's early morning Cycle Class was a doozie!

After a 2 minute warm up on the AirDyne bike it was right into 15 second sprints (you know, riding like a mad person as fast as you can until you can't ride any harder or longer) at the top of every minute for the next 20 minutes with a 2 minute cool down. Needless to say, it didn't take long before the sweatshirt came off. I should think about getting a new sports tank to show off....

...Anyway, after the grueling bike ride it was out onto the floor for some circuit training...and of course the bike came along too for those 15 second sprints in between each exercise. No rest...all work, Summer is around the corner!

So, here is the lineup for today's workout. Choose the weights that will allow you to fail at the end of your set depending on your goals.

Follow up with some light stretching and a 100% Egg White Protein Smoothie. Today I added Activia Vanilla Yogurt to my Northwest Berry Crushed Fruit and 1/2 a banana...it was absolutely delicious!
