catching up: TRX week 11 workout 2, rest day, travel day = rowing + aborted kettlebell snatches


So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program (FORCE). Today was Day 74.

I've been doing crazy travel for the last couple of days, but I did manage the following:

Two days ago, on Tuesday, I did TRX workout 2 of week 11: another humbling, crumbling, mass of exercises with multiple sets with some/no rest and minimal rest between exercises. But this day was mostly upper-body, so to me it wasn't as bad as the lower-body supersets-of-death on workout 1 of week 11.

Wednesday was a rest/travel day, and Thursday (today) was another crazy travel day. So I am postponing my regular TRX workout until tomorrow, but I did manage to get in some exercise today, however minimal.

First, as something different, I did 40 minutes on the rowing machine. I've never done this before, so I don't know what to expect. While it did not seem that strenuous, when I moved to kettlebell snatches, I could only manage eight minutes of 10 snatches with the 24KG kettlebell on the minute. Perhaps it was the 93F heat, perhaps it was the rowing workout prior, perhaps it was the travel, but when my form started to lapse, I stopped.

More travel tomorrow, but I hope to get in my TRX workout when I get to my destination.
