More boring workout posts
May. 22nd, 2009 05:16 pmSince this is what I need a journal for right now:
Workout with Tina the trainer
25 minutes cardio. On the elliptical, warmed up at L2-L3, baseline was L5. Did 1 minutes intervals at L7 and L8. Rest 1 minute at L5. 5 intervals. cool down 2 minutes at L5. and the next 5 minutes at L4 and L3.
Circuit training:
Ball squats with weights: 8 lbs. 12 reps / 1 set ; 9 lbs. 10 reps / 1 set ; 10 lbs. 6 reps / 1 set
Chest flies on ball: 8 lbs. 12 reps / 1 set ; 9 lbs. 10 reps / 1 set ; 10 lbs. 6 reps / 1 set
Hamstrings of steel:
Reverse crunches with feet on ball: 12 reps
Roll ball back and forth to you with butt off ground: 12 reps
Reverse crunches with ankles on ball with butt off ground: 12 reps
Repeat (killer) ; ended up with multiple leg cramps
Stretch out hamstring by placing heel on ball and leaning over leg
ETA: chest row with weights (standing lift weights from waist to chest, move arms back into wing, pinch shoulder blades together): 10 lbs. 12 reps / 2 sets
pushups: 12 reps / 2 sets
Core exercise: Russian twist; hold weight with feet on ground or in "in and out" position, turn from side to side obliquely. 30 secs / rest / 30 secs. more
Workout was hard ; doing good except for hamstring exercises; need to work on those suckers more.
Good news: Now fitting in size 24-26 pants. While my weight is still up there, inches are definitely coming off legs and hips and waist. Clothes are fitting much much better. I have a lot more energy.
I still can't believe I really do enjoy working out. I didn't work out Thursday since I had a chance to go to a clothes sale with a gift certificate. Found some really cute stuff, but boy did I miss my workout.
Today I made not the greatest choice of food for lunch. Own up to them and move on. Eat more veggies tonight.
