New workout!

Jake and I stepped it up a notch on Saturday and added some poundage to the workout. We normally take it pretty easy on the overall weight when we are doing the "10 trips" exercise (note: the 10 trips equals 10 - 100 yard walks with various weights) since it's more of a cardio/toning/sculpting/weight loss/"get out and move" activity and not a real muscle builder. However, on Saturday, we added some weight to the picture:

10 Trips:
1. Tire Drag - 80 pounds (walking forward)
2. Slosh Pipe - carry at chest level (not overhead)
3. Farmers Walk - 115 pounds/each arm (230 pounds total)
4. Tire Drag - 80 pounds (walking backwards)
5. Slosh Pipe - overhead carry
6. Tire Drag - 80 pounds (walking forward)
7. Sang bag carry - 100 pounds
8. Tire Drag - 80 pounds (walking backwards)
9. Sandbag Carry - 100 pounds
10. Farmer Wlk - 115 pounds/each arm (230 pounds total)

Total weight pulled/carried 1000 yards - ~1056 pound

My traps are SORE and my legs are feelin it too. Nice workout. We will keep it at this level for a while and build from there.
