A bit challenging--my HR was in the 80's for about 2/3 of the time. I did have to modify at Round 1. We were supposed to hold a tire over our heads while doing lunges--then run to the mailbox and back and do five pushups. I skipped the tire and did walking lunges, then the rest of it. Tires are too heavy to lift and focus on form at the same time.

Today rated a five, since my HR stayed around 85% during the entire 30 minutes, and this is after adjusting my HR percents to a younger person. The 30-seconds between rounds today were all Burpees, and, to top it all off, the last round was doing plank walks for three minutes. I was really glad when the bell rang.

Not too bad today except at the last round where I spent three minutes doing leg lifts with a medicine ball between my feet. And I had a few problems getting my HR monitor working.

After ElRay watched the car for me at 9Round, I took her to Jesse James Park. She wanted to sniff every tree and post today, so it was good I've been working on upper body strength to pull her along.

Workout with Jared. Several new dexterity drills.

I'm not sure if it was because I was tired from my workout this morning with Jared, or just because it was tough, but I got pretty wiped. Several had the Ali shuffle included, and the killer was the Ali shuffle while pushing a medicine ball out and then up. It really got my heart rate up.

Much easier today. I did get my HR over 80% for a short time.

After not attending 9Round for 10 days, I figured it would be intense. Then I forgot to use my inhaler and wear my HR monitor, so I can only guess that my HR was way up there because I was literally dripping sweat all over everything--yewww.

Took ElRay to Watkins Mill and walked the bike path. Actually, I did a little running at the beginning, but it was really humid, so we mostly power-walked. Then we had two stops--once at the creek and once at the lake--so ElRay could wade around and cool off.
