As expected the week started with a sad mood. Can't believe the time has al most come to say bye to Miami... I'm gonna miss the crossfit box and Jose's sessions :(
Anyhow... Today's workout was tough... Probably because I was still tired from the team games :)

20 Medicine Ball Cleans
15 Dips
10 Toe to Bar of Full Abs
If it's too hard you can do the full abs
5 Burpees
Run 150m
I was feeling very tired probably because of the weekend games... I did 7 rounds in the 25 mins period... try to push your self and see howmch you can do :) Good luck guys!
FRIDAY- I always look forward to this day, not because it the start of a weekend but it's the day for the insane lunch workout by Jose Seminario...So Last Friday was My Final Friday Lunch Workout in CCL Gym. Felt really bad... This workout has improved my strength, endurance a lot. Also has helped me a lot to lose fat.... I am gonna miss this workout so much... Hopefully I will be able to find a place that has a group session as good as this one :-)
So this was the workout on Friday... It was so insane, and intensed I could not go for my crossfit session after work... I was that tired :D
Warm up for 20 mins with full body movements, skips, jumping jacks, toe touches, butt kicks, high knee etc.
40/20's The Following 4 Exercises are done for 40 seconds and take 20 seconds break... After each round take 45 seconds break and restart. Continue for 3 rounds
Squat jacks
Side Shuffles with Knee Raise (20 seconds for each leg)
Push up jacks
IF you want to challange your self more you can try the following
Suicide Drills (side to side jumping lunges)
Every time you move side to side, you are touching the ground with your opposite hand of the side you are drilling on (so for left side). You would touch the ground with your right hand, then side step to your opposite side and repeat with your other hand. Make sure you keep your core tight.
More 40/20's The next4 Exercises are also done for 40 seconds and take 20 seconds break... After each round take 45 seconds break and restart. Continue for 3 rounds
Side lunges with jumping jacks Do a side lunge and then a jumping jack and then continue to other leg followed by another jumping jack

Dip position kickes Not sure of the exact name. But you stay in the tricep dip position, lift your hip and do kicks
After the workout... Stretch well and warm down... Gonna miss this workout! Hopefully I will be able to find a fun session like this...

Had a horrible day at work... After work went for Jose's Core cardio workout... It was very different and more challanging than the usual... We did most of the side planks, planks with one leg laised and other core workouts using steps... The session was different than the usual routine and had cardio as well... We also did a lot of abs exersices as well... The Core+Cardio session was 30 mins and intense...
As usual after that I did the crossfit workout... but did it inside the gym itself... So kind of slacked I guess... The WOD was:
21/15/9

Pull ups
Box Jumps
Butterfly Abs
It was one of those off days that I had a terrible day and kind of didnt do my best... But I made it up the next day... Await the WOD for Thursday... I simply nailed it.... Will post it soon....
Tuesday. As usual I went for a lunch hour spinning workout. This class is conducted by Jose @ Carnival Cruiselines Gym..As usual it was very intense session and loved every bit of it... Had many sprints with HEAVY resistance, jumps, hills etc. It was a very challenging session and made me sweat like crazy...
Then went to the crossfit box to do the WOD.... The WOD was the following:
