I needed to do something different tonight. Mentally just was not in the frame of mind to do any type of running. I decided that I needed to somehow incorporate weights into one of my days. I’m not very good at doing them and as I get older I know that it’s something that would help me. With that said this was my circuit/Yasso workout.

Two mile warm up – kept it at a 9:30 pace

First Yasso – 3:58

Then off the treadmill and did bench and triceps dips

Second Yasso – 3:57

Biceps and overhead press

Third Yasso – 3:57

Squats

Forth – 3:58

Back and assisted pull-ups

Fifth – 3:55

Abs/planks and then cool down two miles 9:30

 

Felt good after I was done… I think I’m going to try and do this workout once a week or until I get bored of it LOL Don’t know if this is doing me any good… I tried to keep the circuit rather fast, probably only about 3-6 minutes when I’m doing the weights. Kept them pretty light so I could keep the reps faster, I completed three sets of 10-15 reps.

It looks like a good workout to me! So is a Yasso 800 meters?

It's two times around a track... half a mile. Is that 800 meters?
