Workout: Bike 20 Miles and Tabata Kettlebells
Posted on May 15th, 2010 in Bike Log, Workout Log | 8 Comments »
I had the opportunity to get a 20 mile bike ride done today. The weather was absolutely beautiful so it was great day to be out on a ride. During the ride I went around Diamond Head Crater twice so I got some good hill training. I tried to stay planted in the saddle and glued to the aerobars. After doing the hills around Diamond Head, I did some sprints intervals down Kahala Avenue. I used this workout to substitute for the P90x Cardio X workout. Quite frankly, Cardio X is a weak workout and I don’t really like doing it.
Late this evening, I did few rounds of Tabata. As usual, I used my kettlebells as well as my Tower 200 and good old fashion bodyweight exercises. A couple of rounds were dedicated to core training.
Btw, I am excited about the Survivor finale tomorrow (Sunday). I know, I know… a lot of folks think Survivor is dumb, but I am hooked so I watch it. I sure would like to see Russell get voted out. I want know why everyone is scared of him. It will be interesting to hear the jury if he makes it to the final three.

I have to agree that Cardio X isn’t a challenge – it’s almost like a warm-up video now. Even when I started P90X for the first time, it didn’t really get heated up like Plyo or Core Synergistics.
My bride and kids are glued to Survivor, and I’ve watched a few shows too. Even in Russell’s first season and first episode, I recognized him as a slick BS’er…but wow, why can’t anyone in the cast see that?
Hi Boomer,
Well if you are working out like a mad man….you are feeling better:) I am glad to see that the back is doing better. Nice job on the twenty mile bike ride and sprint intervals! I need to start working on speed too!
Steve… Just finished watching the Survivor finale. I am glad Russell did not get any votes.
Julie… Yes, back is feeling better. I will try not to be a meat head.
Cardio X is weak… ha ha love that statement!
And so I missed the season finale of Survivor?!?!?!?! MAN! I missed the last two Thursdays in a row due to family stuff but didn’t even realize the finale was this weekend. Oh well, just gotta watch it on the internet so hold off on saying any spoilers!
How’s the back treating you?
Annie… Back is good to go! Thanks for asking.
I watched the survivor finale last night in the hotel room. man does everyone hate russell. he is a piece of work huh?
So we gonna get the story on the latest “incident”?
Jeff… “The incident”. I fell slipped off while cleaning my rain gutters and landed on my truck. Pretty stupid, huh!
whoa … lucky the truck was there to “break” your landing!
