April 17 - Day 11


2 1/2 minutes squatting like this? That proved to be a no-go.

I prepped with a Muscle Milk light protein drink and a banana about an hour before our workout. Kelly and I were warned. After warming up, we began with a 6-lb. ball toss back and forth to each other 25 times, then sit-ups where we passed the same ball back and forth. Then I did squats with 25-lb. overhead bar lifts while she did burpees then we switched. When I did assisted pull-ups, she did tricep "skiers." Oh, then there was the 2 1/2 minute wall sit except at first we were partner sitting — leaning on each other (see above). Despite being exceptionally difficult, it proved to be far more comical than anything, and when one of our legs (usually mine) would give out we'd both topple to the floor like dominos. Since we failed our first attempt, not making it the entire time, Byoung separated us and we both squatted for an additional 2 1/2 minutes. Then one of did figure-8 crunches with a ball and the other did seated rows with 50 lbs. Next up was the chest press (w/ 15-lb. dumbells) with leg raise while the other did squats, while touching a 35-lb. dumbell to the floor. Then for the first time I pushed the weighted plastic bin down the hall and back and then back again. That was tough. At the same time she was doing lying down hamstring curls (30 lbs) which weren't much fun either. We did everything twice, and then ended with 5 minutes on the elliptical. Done.

Us, in action, and super sweaty.
