Montenengro Method Endurance Workout 2

[Guest guest]

I did this one yesterday but didn't have get around to posting it so here it is. As Donna mentioned, overall, it was easier than workout 1 but that doesn't mean it was easy! In these workouts there are 3 circuits with 5 exercises each. The circuits use the same basic exercises but with increasing intensity and difficulty so there were the dreaded mountain climbers in all 3 and by the time I got to them in the 3rd circuit I was dying. I think I hate mountain climbers more than I hate burpees. I'm not sure why, but I do. I think Marta has a thing for squats too. This workout was just one great big squat fest but since it was endurance it was fast and with challenging variations. It was similar to the lower body strength workout because of all the squats but because of the pace (and mountain climbers and some interesting plank variations) it was more endurance. I did my own warm up for the first time. I put on the TV and just did a bunch of -type moves for 5 or 6 minutes and that seemed fine. I also did my own stretch but I'm not sure it was all that good. I hadn't thought it through at all, I just did some stretches I knew and throught of at that moment. Today, I think, will be MM upper body strength workout but I want to do a good stretch too I think so I might add on Tony Horton's Power Half Hour Stretch. This was supposed to be my first true day off, no kids, nowhere to go, in at least 4 months but, of course, now has a very swollen and sore ingrown toenail so I'm picking him up after school and taking him to the doctor. It still gives me a lot of time, so I can do a longer workout, but it someday, I want a whole day to myself! ;-)
