Workout With My Brother

My family is in Ithaca for my graduation this weekend.  This means Josh and I will be doing a lot of working out.  It's great for getting those last couple pounds off.  Unfortunately, I ate a bunch of food after we got done working out.  Well not a lot really.  I had a salad with mixed greens and steamed broccoli and squash and a turkey and swiss wrap (with nothing else on it).  Also I don't put any kind of dressing on my salad.  A handful of peanuts, about 2 pieces of beef jerky, and protein shake.  Well it felt like a lot of food for the evening meal.

Josh and I ran about 2 miles to start.  Then we did a total of 4 sets of sprints.  We did 2 sets at 40 meters and then 2 sets at 70 meters.  Each set consisted of 1 sprint with resistance bands, where one of us held the other while they were sprinting and then we just did a regular sprint.  Those were really hard.  Josh is a lot bigger and stronger than me so it was really hard to sprint when he was holding the bands for me.  I felt like I was barely even moving.  Anyway we were going to do 5 sets but I wimped out.  It was really hard to breath correctly because I can't completely breath through my nose yet.  So instead of doing the resistance sprints we just did a few more regular sprints.

We also tossed an 8 pound medicine ball around.  We did 3 sets of 20 (except one time I accidently did 25) lunges.  The first time we just did regular step lunges with a 15 pound kettlebell.  The second set we did the lunge twists and the 3rd set we did regular lunges again but holding the kettlebell out in front of us parallel to the ground.  Then we had to come inside because some friends were going to be at the house soon.  Just did some stretching and a few abs on the stability ball.
