120722 TM Training

Training took place at a gymnastics gym @ 6:30 this morning. Karen the kids and I had free reign for 3 hours with a couple of dudes from Mudder Fudders. Did a few different circuits getting a great total body workout but there was definitely more emphasis on the upper body. The shoulders are completely smoked today.

Finally got to climb a proper climbing rope and made the most of the opportunity by going up multiple times. Was even able to go halfway up holding a rope in each hand. Never thought I would have ever been able to do this.

Oddly enough the hardest part of the day was trying to get out of the foam block landing pits. That in and of itself was a workout.

And seeing the uneven parallel bars for the first time in person gives me a new respect for what proper gymnasts are able to accomplish on those things. I had no idea how far apart they were. The thought never even crossed my mind to give it a shot.

The kids had a blast and seeing their faces when we launched them as they were strapped into the training harness was priceless.

So looking forward to doing this again.
