Catching Up

Still working out, just not posting. Have continued the parallette work. Has been fun and challenging. I am getting stronger. Tuck hold is much easier. Have been struggling with how to continue the parallette program but still get in some cardio work without stretching my workout too long. Tonight the answer came to me. Instead of sitting around between sets of parallette work, I decided to do some cardio work. For the first 15 sets of parallette stuff I did 20 32kg 2 handed swings for a total of 300 swings in between the bodyweight sets. For the next 5 sets of parallette work I did RBT split squats 10R/10L. This worked great. Had my heart rate up, but spared my shoulders from getting too tired to complete the bodyweight work. There are many possible exercises that can be introduced in between the bodyweight sets. I will be experimenting over the next few weeks.
