What could be more abbreviated than a pair of HIIT cardio sessions bookending RG BB Rows and Lower Back Extensions. Oh, and add 50 crunches. Done. Got all my photos matted and framed although I've got to replace hardware on six photos with proper wire and hanger bolts. But I can do that tomorrow... Yay!
Tuesday Super Abbreviated Workout
10 min cardio = 5 min steady state + 5 min HIIT (15 sec On / 45 sec Off) = 0.75 miles
RG BB Rows
(really glad I don't seem to have lost any strength although I was too lazy to wrestle with the 45 lb plates so just used 25s and added 10s after each set... next time I'll use 45s because the bar will sit higher off the floor and it'll be easier to pull)
Set 1 : 45x15
Set 2 : 95x15
Set 3 : 115x15
Set 4 : 135x15
Set 5 : 135x15
Set 6 : 155x15
Lower Back Extension
Set 1 : 195x15
Set 2 : 195x15
Set 3 : 195x15
Crunches: 50
10 min HIIT cardio (15 sec On / 45 sec Off) = 0.76 miles

Truly Abbreviated Tuesday Workout
Because I wanted to catch the flick Jersey Boys, my gym time got cut even shorter. This is probably the last week for it at my local cinema and it's $5 Tuesday. First show time is 11:15 am which means that I'll actually be done with my workout before Child Care time has expired. That's a first for me.
I do only 10 minutes for cardio warm up but include 4 minutes of Tabata. Then a quick Cage Stretch and 15 rounds kickboxing the Nexersys. I have to adjust my gloves between rounds 3 and 4 because the velcro on my left wrap is chafing against my palm. My right hand pointer stings a bit and I realize that the glove is splitting at the seam for that finger. Bummer. I may have to tape that finger under the cotton wrap next time.
Oddly, my upper back's a bit stiff from yesterday's workout but it's not painful. I only notice it when I'm sitting at my computer. I'd rather box the machine than pedal on the elliptical, hence doing 15 rounds and skipping the 2nd round of cardio. I just have enough time to shower and change. My hair is plastered to my head, sweat dripping like rain off my clothes, and I smell like cat pee. It's a good workout.
My son and I have the theater all to ourselves for Jersey Boys. I know all the songs but only some of the story. I have to explain to my son why they speak funny and act dum-ass macho. He's a suburban boy through and through. Halfway through the movie my son pulls out his DS and plays a game because he can't follow the story. He doesn't understand the music either. But I've always loved movies like this, like La Bamba and The Buddy Holly Story. Movies that make you want to sing along. And in an empty theater, there's nothing that says you can't.
