I headed to this little Fitness Center in Tewksbury in the basement at Raytheon nice and early to get in a workout of my own.. I sort of surveyed the area to figure out:
1) what crap they had that I could use
2) how much noise I could make without causing a scene
I am still in "marathon mode" and not going to anything too taxing or heavy, just trying to keep the legs loose and my wind fresh.. After a bunch of searching, moving a rowing machine, and stealing a kettlebell, I went into their "yoga room" and set up shop..
I did a 12 minute AMRAP of:
200m Row without straps (saved the time of getting in and out of them)
10 Push ups on mini-parallettes (chest down to full depth)
20 Double Unders
10 KB Swing (44 lb bell, heaviest they had)
20 Air Squats
I believe I got 6 full rounds.. But my mind is slipping today so it could have been one more or one less.. but the important thing was that I went unbroken on every segment and kept moving with good intensity.. The only part where I took like a mini-breath break was at the top of some of the air squats just so I could sprint the row every time.. Cool little makeshift workout, good one on the lungs.. every part of it was just easy enough to do all in a row.. good rep scheme choices for me.
The workout I had the Yesnet folks do was 5 stations of Tabata: Calorie row, air squat, sit up, KB swing, push ups.. They seemed to enjoy it even if their legs were rubber afterward, but its really hard to push people that you don't know personally since you don't really know their limits, and they have never been properly shown how to do certain moves.. but its good coaching practice to have a room full of newbies.. win/win..
