Week 6.

Jenna misses her first workout. She is human after all. Still incredible.

Week 4

Great job Jenna!! 18 for 18 on the total workouts so far.

After 2 Weeks

Well after 2 weeks the participation has been awesome. Miguel Lasaga and Jenna Horn kicking some but and not missing a workout in the first 2 weeks to go 9 for 9.

Max Cardio is a mother!

"Sensei" decided we hadn't worked hard enough and said lets change the routine before the long weekend. So we did. Thanks. It was a great workout but wow. Here are a couple new videos in much better quality.




Determination!!

Go Team Go!!!

Here are some pictures from the workout today.

Cardio Abs

Tough......I am tired. I have 1.5 abs.

Day 4 - August 28 - Pure Cardio Circuit

The group today was fired up since it was our last workout of the week.  That enthusiasm quickly turned into dejection 30 seconds after Sensei pressed play.  Pure Cardio is an extremely intense workout but very similar to the others we have done so far.  Shaun T doesn't let up at all in this disc.  Warm-ups as usual are very intense, followed by a sweat soaked stretch, then into Pure Cardio with a Cool Down at the end.  Suicides, Level 2 Drills, Jump Knee Tucks, a little Kenpo, and Push-Ups are basically what this disc entails.  Shaun T even forgets the name of one of his exercises, that's how intense this is.  Even if you're struggling and need to take multiple breaks during the exercises, you feel like you accomplished something big when you finish.  I am sore but starting to feel really good (Ice bags on my knees every night sure is helping).  "I am on top of the world Ma!"  Only 56 days to go!  We must move on!

August 26 - Day 2 - Cardio Power & Resistance (Ariel, Miguel, Steve, Ish, Tim C, Jennifer H, Carlos H.)

Well, the group just finished Cardio Power & Resistance.  I would prefer to call it by its initials, CPR.  That is what you feel like receiving after you're done with this class.  Intense from the beginning and not really letting up for the entire class.  Warm-ups are definitely rougher than any normal warm-ups.  Once your done warming up, it's on to stretching.  Here is where you can take a breather, but as you sit there and stretch, beads of sweat are just pouring down your face and onto the floor.  It's intense.  Time for the class (as if you're not tired already).  We do all kinds of power jumps, squats, push-ups, hops, and core work.  You can tell by the moaning of the class that this is taking a toll on everyone.  Best thing is you really are doing about 5 sets of exercises but 3 times each, with each round going more intense.  Lots of small breaks which allow you to catch your breath, only to lose it again 45 seconds later.  Great workout.  I can only imagine what the others are like.  God speed.  We must move on!
