Burpee Wipeout.

This evening I ran to the football pitch and using my gymboss timer did a tabata burpee workout and it wiped me out, I felt like I was going to die, I don’t know wether it was the heat or because I hadn’t eaten much but the workout totaled me, this workout is hardcore! 8 x 20 seconds of burpees with 10 seconds rest in between. I did this 4 times in total with short rests for a drink.

Lack of Posts Recently.

in Wasteland

I haven’t updated for a variety of reasons just recently but mostly because I’ve been busy with work, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working out though. I’ve still found time to workout and took my 3 workout staples with me, my mp3 player with the pit workouts converted to mp3, deck of cards and my gymboss timer. I’ve mostly been in hotels for the last couple of months and mostly Hilton Hotels (ouch!) They’re not cheap but they have been convenient for work and they do have great gyms that as a guest are free to use. While I didn’t use any of the machines or free weights there was an aerobics room that had a reebok free standing bag in it that no-one but myself seemed to use. I’d get in there every evening after work and either do one of the 3 pit workouts, work through a couple of decks of cards or use the gymboss timer for tabata burpees. I’d never pay to use a gym and when I’m staying in a hotel that has no gym I’ll either find a nearby park, field or my favourite place to workout a beach and if the weather is too inclement I’ll work out in my room.
