Ladder Fallout and New Toys

I could tell my emphasis has been on lower body training, because my lats and triceps are STILL sore today, 3 days after the ladder workout! So of course I have to do the ladder again in another day or so, cuz I feel like IT owns ME, and that, my friends, is just not acceptable!

Well, I got some presents in the mail yesterday and today. Yesterday's present was a Gymboss interval timer. And today's presents were an 8 kg kettlebell and a 12 kg kettlebell!!! Using the new stuff, this was tonight's workout (1 minute work, 1 minute rest for each exercise):

8 kg swings
8 kg swings
12 kg swings
12 kg front squats
12 kg swings
12.5 pound dumbbell overhead press
8 kg roly poly squats
12 kg swings
8 kg one-arm swings
12 kg roly poly squats
12 kg swings
4 kg double swing/clean
12 kg suitcase squats
8 kg swings high/low
12 kg swings
total workout time: 30 minutes

The Gymboss made intervals really fun. And having a heavier kettlebell was great.

Kids are out of school tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to the ease and fun of summer. Those who have known me for a while will know that this is a new attitude towards summer on my part. How did I get new attitude? Wish I knew, but I sure hope it stays!!!

Excellent!!! Love the summer attitude!!! And that workout sounds killer. YAY on the presents too. I love presents in the mail .... I had one waiting for me on Tuesday night; it was Myoplex and I was so happy -- hubby thought I was a weirdo.
