Just Another Orange Theory Workout

Today we had orange theory. Since there has been an increase in memberships, the class we wanted to go was wait listed so we went to the 7:30 class. I tried really hard to remember our workout today so I could talk about it in my post.

So my workout started on the treadmill (ha - it always does). We had 2 minutes at base pace (comfortable pace on the treadmill - they have a card to help you determine your base pace); 2 minutes at push pace and then 1 minute all out. After that circuit, we rested for less than a minute and returned back to base pace. This time we had to hold 2 minutes at base pace, followed by 1 minute of push pace, and 1 minute all out. After the all out, we waked it off for about twenty seconds, and then we moved on to the rower.

We had 200 meters on the rower. After that exercise, we had to grab free weights and completed 14 double squat presses. We continued repeating those two exercises for about 6 minutes. Once those 6 minutes were over, our group moved to the weight room. In the weight room it got crazy.

Our first weight room circuit consisted of 20 chest presses on the sbt straps, followed by  14 push ups, 14 arm dips, and lastly 4 burpees. Our next circuit consisted of 20 low rows on the sbt straps, followed by 20 high rows on the sbt strap, 14 wide bicep curls, followed by four burpees. Our third circuit consisted of 20 tricep curls (I think that is what it's called) and 14 v up presses, 14 lunges with curls followed by four burpees. Our fourth set had 40 bicycle crunches followed by 20 double crunches and lastly four burpees. That's all I could honestly remember and the exercise made up our weir room workout. Our last rotation was back on the rowers.

At the rowers we only had two exercises to complete: 200 meters rowing and 14 snatches on each arm. You kept repeating those two exercises until time was complete which was probably about 6 minutes. Even though I burned over 400 calories during class, I felt like I wasn't pushed very hard during this workout. To be honest, this isn't one of my favorite trainers. She always seems confused and doesn't really capitalize on the treadmill workouts. I can't wait until Mondays class. I know I'll get my butt kicked then. Tomorrow.. I've got my 10k..

Update on the tires: they were ridiculously impossible to figure out. I couldn't get the bike liners to stay straight or the tubes on the wheel. So, my friend G has the tires and I'm hoping he can fix it...
