Gym Jones Day 1

Today I was introduced to something that can best be described as a medieval torture device- the airdyne. If you have never seen an airdyne, go scour your grandparents' basements- it's entirely possible that that there is one down there being used as a laundry rack!

The airdyne is a "bike" with arms and it has been around forever- it sucks! Sam and I learned to respect it immensely today. 

Day 1 -

flew into SLC this am 

4pm start at Gym Jones

warm-up on airdyne

"Louder than 10" (watch the movie "This Is Spinal Tap" if you don't get the reference)

11 rounds for time:

5 med ball slams (mine was 15#)

10 push-ups

15 Kettlebell swings (35#)

11 rounds is a LONG time! I was ready to wrap it up by about round 4. Total time- 13:30 (30 seconds behind Sam, I'll need to get him next time!)

then 10 minutes active recovery on airdyne

followed by airdyne Tabata intervals (20 seconds of all-out work, 10 seconds of rest) 8 rounds

I was truly questioning my fitness by the end of the Tabata intervals- 100% spent. We capped off the day with a trip to Acme burgers..100% local/ organic/ grass fed etc. Awesome. I'll post a picture of Sam's "grande special" later on but I had an incredible salmon burger - just what the doctor ordered!

We're ready to get back at it tomorrow.....
