Sunday and Monday off. Today I am doing swings and TGU's again

I have been short of breath and these workouts have been hard. I haven't been pushing myself b/c I don't know what is wrong. I went to doc today and got a chest x-ray to make sure I don't have pneumonia. Doc said I most likely don't and it is my lungs taking a hit from the H1N1 and it will take time to recover. If that is in fact the case, I am going to step up workouts a bit and push myself more (not excessively but in a healthy way)and get my lungs back. I will find out tomorrow on the lung situation.

Couldn't Take it Anymore

I worked out yesterday. Nothing too brutal. But I figured that I needed to do something, if for nothing else to try and strengthen my lungs.

I did the filthy 50 minus the burpees so without setting down the 20KG bell
5 rounds of
5 swings L/R
5 snatches L/R
15 seconds rest
45 seconds plank (per round F, L, R, then 30 v ups)

This was only about 45% as bad as I thought it would be. I was fine until I started round 4, then my lungs started to hurt. After round 5, my lungs were really tight. I walked 1/3 of a mile to cool down.

I am going to keep doing workouts like this until I recover. Today will be heavier swings 10 sets of 10 (or 5 sets of 20, not sure) with the 24KG. I'm taking it back.

Tedious Tedium

so i'm still not 100%. don't have a lot of energy. the H1N1 flu kicked my ass hard. all i did last week was rest and eat- A LOT and i still lost two pounds! wtf!?

i did a little workout sunday, 50 push ups, 30 pull ups and 3 rounds of 10-2 twists. haven't done anything else yet b/c i don't really feel up to it yet. i am not happy about this.

This week...

I am about 90% better as of today. I finish my anti-biotics tomorrow afternoon. I have, however, decided to take this week off to fully recuperate. I still feel a little short of breath and think that my body went through a hell of a time fighting off the H1N1 virus.

SOOOOOOOO..... rest this week. Not even 1 pull up. Just resting and eating. Does anyone know how hard this is going to be for me? UGH!!!

The clock starts now...

I'm back... sort of...

Last Friday I did 5 rounds of 10 32KG swings and then 20 seconds on the 50' fire hose. I wanted to do 10 rounds but I was DYING after 5... was pretty bummed about it.

Chalked it up to not a great day and went and walked the dogs. Saturday felt a little snotty but no big deal. Wake up Sunday DESTROYED. I can tell something is wrong. Go to doc first thing Monday morning and I have the H1N1 Flu. YAY!

Today is the first time I have been off my couch for longer than 3 min at a time in 5 days. I have literally been laying down and/or sleeping since Sunday. The Tamilfu that I'm taking dopes me out like a zombie. Even know I feel pretty light headed and ehhhh but that's probably the medicine and being vertical for this long.

No workouts for a while. Probably wont try anything until Monday and even then it might not happen. This swine flu SUCKS.

conditioning day

VWC using 20KG 15/15 for 22 rounds then some jogging to cool down

got a new toy today froma friend- 100' fire hose! YES! expect to see more of that in the future.

Monday

5 rounds of

5 double 24KG swings HARDstyle. really focusing on hip snap and keeping everything tight at the top
5 double 20KG C&P
5 perfect pull ups

1 min rest. Repeat.

I wanted to get 6 or 7 rounds but I stepped up the weight on the swings in this workout and it knocked me down a notch or two. Using hte 32KG with reps of 20 I can get 7 rounds no problem, same goes with double 20KG swings with reps of 10. but the double 24's put some hitch in my giddy-up.
