I'd guarantee you'd puke if you tried to do either before or during those exercises. haha. After however is doable.

Killer workout you have there!

See if you can fit in some squats/deadlifts for getting unstuck, front/back/side lunges for sidehilling, and lots of rows and pullups for yanking on the handlebars all day to sidehill and crank pow turns.... and not having a sore back the next day. Back extensions and supermans too.

the dive ones are called dive-bombers

If you have energy left, grab a medicine ball and do "sumo-slams"

That sounds awesome thanks. I also really like standing on a big yoga ball and doing 3 sets of squats then if I feel balanced enough have someone kick the base of the ball gently for a min then pass me a medicine ball back n forth. Great for balance!

Thats also just what I did this week. It's something different every day

Paleo Diet. Lots of food, caveman style. My biggest obstacle is putting on enough muscle mass. Feels like I have to eat all day just to get anywhere. Then I get frustrated. Then I stop eating enough. Then I get tired. And sore.

Spartan WOD (Emailed Daily.... Subscribe here: Spartan Race WOD Workout Of The Day - Subscribe and Receive a daily WOD )

5km run daily (when not working a 12 hour shift- I work 2 days/2 nights and 5 days off, so I try to play my workout and rest days accordingly. Also, my job is very physical and adrenaline demanding so if I workout on a work day, I try to keep it "light")

Alternate with Jillian Michaels' "Shed and Shred video" just to keep things fun. And ripped. And fun.

Day dream of champagne powder and blue bird skies for motivation :)
