Back to the Basics

It was another gymnastics day for our daughter which means another parking lot workout for us. It was also a tacfit recovery day. It was supposed to be a "no intensity" day...but that wouldn't go along with the madness that we bring, would it??? We loaded the kettlebells in the car and tackled Maxwell's Double routine during the last hour of gym. It has been a few months since we hit this one and we could tell! It was a tail kicker today.

We learned a lesson today that you may all want to keep in mind as the summer is upon us. Working out in the parkinglot meant working out on asphalt. We didn't work out until 7:00 pm which mean that it had all day to absorb the wonderful Florida sunshine. The heat that it sent back up to us made us feel like we were working out in a sauna. We both went through TWO 24 ounce bottles of water during the workout because of the heat...and that barely kept us hydrated! I think we may have to move our workouts to the park for the summer so we can work out in the grass under a tree. LOL!

For those of you who don't remember the Maxwell Double Routine it is 5 rounds of the following:
30 Seconds of Double Squats
30 Seconds of rest
30 Seconds of Clean and Push Press
30 seconds of rest
30 seconds of Thrusters
30 seconds of rest
30 seconds of Front Squats
30 seconds of rest
30 seconds of Renegade Rows
1 minute rest

Be careful working out in this heat...it will catch up with you before you know it!
