Fitness - Golden 21 - 8/31

My plan worked. I'm finally free of that bug I caught Thursday night. The plan of sleeping as much as possible, drinking a ton of water and resting has me feeling great today. Although I feel much better I'm sure there's still a little something there so I decided to go light today and give myself an un-timed WOD with relatively light weight.

WOD: Golden 21 - box jumps (24")/hang power snatch(95#)
3/18
6/15
9/12
12/9
15/6
18/3

Finisher: Tabata Burpees & core work
Lowest reps in any one round - 5

Calories burned (WOD, finisher, core work): 732

I felt good during this WOD. Since I was going light and it was un-timed I took my time but it was still a hell of a workout. Even my shins and calves were sweating after this one. I was spent for sure, but it felt nice after 3 days of rest to do work.

I mostly tried to focus on my form during the hang power snatches and some reps even mixed in a few regular snatches (include a full over-head squat squat after catching the bar over-head) for good measure. As I said, this one was pretty rough even though I was taking my time and not really pushing it.

The tabata burpees sucked but I pushed through those and I was getting 6 each round except for my last round I only could muster 5, so that ended up being my score.

For the core work I did a series of side planks, regular planks and raised (feet on an exercise ball) planks. My abs are still twitching after this routine. One I'll remember for sure.

All in all, a good day at the gym and a productive first day back after being ill the past few days.
