This morning's workout was a good one. It wasn't super hard but it also wasn't a walk in the park. It was, as Goldilocks would say, "juuuuuuust right". The first part was strength training and the second was cardio. This is what we did:
STRENGTH--Ladder: 10 reps of each alternating back and forth, then 9, then 8, all the way down to 1
A) Incline dumbbell chest press (30 pound weights)
B) Trap bar deadlift (135 lbs)
CARDIO (5 rounds)
1) C2 rowing machine (100 meters)
2) Mace hammer (5R/5L)
3) Shuttle run (3 x 60')
The mace hammers were new. We usually use sledgehammers on the big tires. I didn't really notice any difference in using them. They had the tire outside in the sunshine which was nice.
It was a really good workout but I am already feeling the deadlifts in my butt. I might go again tomorrow morning if we are not out late tonight. We shall see!

After all of that I am sure you would feel sore. I hope you enjoyed your time out.

Your routine is impressive! I can only do cardio every day in our exercise room - I know I should start doing strength routines but I cannot seem to motivate myself. I am a creature of habit and once something starts working for me it's hard to deviate from it.

@JohnRoberts honestly no one. I'm not a violent person. I just have fun smashing the tire.
