back at strength training - TRX style

Today begins build phase for off season. Sounds crazy right. Actually its just something new to add into the mix since no big race on the horizon.

Today we went to the gym and started out with a warm up....

ROW for 10 min and try to keep solid cadence. I did 1850 meters with a pace of about 29.

Set the TRX straps for this workout:

• TRX lunge with chest fly for 30 seconds (rotating leg each time)

• TRX tricep press for 30 seconds   

• TRX swimmers pull for 30 seconds
  
  
  
  
  
  

• TRX low T and Y deltoid raise combo for 30 seconds

REPEAT all of the above for second round. Only take about 15 seconds in between to go into next exercise.


Partner wall toss for 10 on each side. We used a 10 lb ball. Nice torso rotation! For a total of 20.

• TRX plank with Abduction for 30 seconds. slow movement in legs 
• TRX mountain climber for 30 seconds

• TRX side plank with hip dip (right side) for 30 seconds

• TRX mountain climber for 30 seconds

• TRX side plank with hip dip (left side) for 30 seconds

Partner wall toss for 10 on each side. Again used a 10 lb ball.

Cool down.....
10 minutes on spin bike - high cadence

Tuesday time to get back in routine

Jet lag from return trip is still hanging around. It is really making me tired and not interested in working out. Thankfully I have great training partners that help keep me accountable. I did not want to get up at the 4am wake up. But I am glad I did. While it was not a quality swim it was a swim! It was exactly what I needed to force my body back into my normal routine. It is soooooo true what they say about the only workout you regret is the one you don't do. With that said I have no regrets this morning. A nice 2k swim under the stars was good to get going.

Honey Stinger Ambassador

One of the many things I love about being an ambassador for great companies is that you are able to try different products and truly explore all the different choices. Most companies give you a discount to share your training products via social media. I know it is the time of year to join teams and decide who you want to support. I absolutely love that Honey Stinger is so healthy and easy to use during my training rides and runs! I am extremely grateful and honored to be a member of the #hshive.

#HoneyStinger has literally saved me because the chews do not melt, they are easy to chew and digest, and they taste delicious!!

If you have any questions at all about this product feel free to leave me a comment and I will happily try and help you in any way I can!!

Happy training!!

Back in the saddle

Today I was able to go out and ride with my friend that is 2 weeks out from Ironman Chattanooga. It was a gorgeous day to get back on my Shiv. 

I can't wait to get back into a regular training program again. 

It is so hard without a definite race on the schedule. I am really undecided as to what I would like to focus on. I have enjoyed the past year of winging things.

For the past two years I have been on Team Betty Designs. With the end of season coming also comes the decision of new teams. I would be honored to be chosen for the team again but know there is always a possibility of that not happening. 

Being on a team has been wonderful. It's like instant family at any race you want to go to. 

If you are interested in being involved with teams you will need to start looking into companies you would like to join because now is the time.

As I see things I will be happy to do a post and share ideas. Make sure and follow my blog to stay up to date. 

Going to bed joyful because tomorrow starts a new rebuild phase. On the way to be the best me I can! #gofarfeelgood
