The Sound of Music.

Although my blog is filled with my exercising mishaps or woes, I want to clarify that I actually do have workouts that are normal and relatively uneventful. However, what is the fun in talking about that.  But, waiting on a crazy workout means lapse in between my posts, so sorry again for the delay.

My legs are hurting so bad today after my workout yesterday that I have to do the trust fall just to sit down. You all know it…you blindly fall backwards and hope for the best. At least my chair at work had wheels, so I could just pedal around the office. Why am I in such pain, you ask? Pintrest.  If you are familiar with Pintrest, you understand. If not, I will let you in on a little secret – Pintrest is the holy grail of information for foodies, crafters, procrastinators and workout enthusiasts. I happen to fall under all four categories, so I am always on the search for the latest and greatest “pin.” Well, I finally met my workout match and have posted it below. It is a four part workout, with each list being a complete circuit training guide that spans the length of the average song on your iPod.  All in all, it took me about 20 minutes to do, and probably 2 days to recuperate.

The first list, accompanied by one of my favorite bands, the Black Crowes, was a breeze. I felt confident that I could finish all four. Man was I naive. The second list busted out mountain climbers, which I haven’t done since middle school, and with good reason: THEY SUCK. There was too much jiggling, but the sounds of Stroke 9 actually made it tolerable. But by the start of list three, I was sweating like a man and it was embarrassing (granted, only Posha was in the room, but still). Wave on Wave by Pat Green could not get me past the waves of nausea that hit once I started on the 50 bicycle spins. I don’t remember the song to list four, as I was just struggling to just breathe. But, I do recall being ½ way through the Russian Twists and thinking about Piroshky, the Russian bakery in Seattle. Any of my Seattleite friends want to hook me up with some next day air potato, cheddar, and onion roll? I feel like I have earned it!

Anyway, this workout was actually challenging, awesome, and I will try to “best” my time in future sessions. Try it out and let me know what you think…
