My workout today

Today I started my morning running 4.5 miles working with my boot camp group and doing a PT session all outdoors with my back drop, the Potomac River and the Monuments in DC.

Later in the morning my husband and I headed to the gym for a high octane strength workout. While there was no traditional cardio work done, believe me our heart rates were pounding and we were exhausted when it was finally done. It was one of my favorite styles of workouts ... supersetting.

Supersetting is basically pairing two exercises together and doing one set of the first exercise followed immediately by the second exercise with no rest in between. Then repeat several times. In general I like to combine two non-competing exercises so that I get get the most out of both. We did 4 supersets of each combination below:

1A Bench press
1B Knee-ups on bench

2A Incline DB press
2B Incline DB curl

3A BB curl
3B Push ups with feet on stability ball

4A Lunges w/ medicine ball held overhead
4B Rear delt extensions on stability ball

Now off to walk the terrier ...
