3 circuits; 1 minute's rest in between:
100 skips
15 ball slams
15 kettlebell lateral swings per arm
15 box jumps
15 burpees
20 ball squats (lifting the ball to the top of the punchbag)
10 shuttle runs
Today was another one of those days when I didn't want to do a conditioning routine, but pushed myself anyway. It took me a little while to get going in the first round, but by the second round my mind was in the right place. I started to drag my arse halfway through the third set as fatigue started to kick in. However, a couple of people came into the yoga room to do some stretching, and that seemed to give me some impetus. Nothing like an audience to get me going.

Conditioning / chest
Circuit x 3; 90 seconds rest between each
20 x parallette jumps
Figure of 8 shuttle runs* - 2 minutes
30 x kettlebell squat and press
Ball lifts - 1 minute @ 30lb; 1 minute @ 20lb
* Run forwards diagonally, then backwards in a straight line
======
Bench press drop sets
1 set of 10 x 135lb, 115lb, 95lb
2 sets of 8 x 130lb, 110lb, 95lb
Finished off with 15 bench supported push-ups.
My chest was toast and I had nothing left during this routine, hence plenty of assists for the bench presses.
While walking to the bench press station after the conditioning portion, Cosmo told me I was sweating more than everyone else in the gym combined. Well, duh! When I got home, I had to wait more than an hour before I could remove my shirt because it was caked on with sweat. Cold, cold, sweat. Ew.
