She Got Legs, She Knows How to Use Them

Sunday, January 13

Workout 8:30 am on the Exorcist stairs.. why did I decide to get up so early? Because I like pain and torture.

Keturah was my lucky guest for this morning's workout.

Warmup:
stretch

one slow lap up steps
one slow run around block

Workout:
10 laps
Up stairs (75 very trecherous steps)
Run around block
25 KB swings w/ 35lb KB

Total time: 36:49

Finish up with:
3 L-sit pullups on steady bar
3 kipping pullups

This workout was so long that it was nearly impossible to maintain the intensity. The regular old Exorcist workout is very intense and very quick. There's no time to stop or slow down. This workout was intentionally focusing on the legs, so the legs fatigue and never truly get a rest. It's funny when you begin considering running the "rest" in your workout. I was able to keep up a fairly fast pace when I went up the steps.

A key I remembered after last week's calve killer.. REMEMBER to use your entire foot to push you up the step. A common pain inducer is to stay on your toes, which uses a huge amount of calve power. If you think of pushing off your entire foot, you end up using push more leg muscle.. thus avoiding days and days of leg pain.

Thanks for joining me Keturah! I'm waiting for more crazies to join me for future workouts!!!
