PAAAIIIIINNNNNNN

Good Evening from the one in pain who just wants to lay down and forget about working out ever again :)

Just kidding!

I started out tonight with my lunges and then Erin had an evil laugh. Yup we did jumping jacks (first time I have made it for 30 seconds without changing to modified!!!!), calf jumps and then push ups. I made 10 before I had to modify. Then it was ball push-ups (Basically you do push ups while one hand is on the ball and then you roll the ball to the other hand and repeat).

After push ups then we did squat jumps (pain, pain, pain). Basically you jump in the air and land in a squat. Not so bad until you do it 7 times, then hold a squat for 7 seconds, then jump 7 more, then hold for 7, and then do 7 more jumps and hold for 7. By the third time I was praying that seven seconds would go by in one!!!

I did lunges off of the step while doing shoulder presses, and then lunges off of the step while doing flies. Then it was on to triceps (two ways), then some kind of painful contortion move that had me bending over while holding onto weights, bending one knee behind the other and then lifting my leg in the air (10 on each side!!!!), and then I did one leg on a step while bending over with a 15 pound weight.

Of course all of above was repeated :) Finally Abs which involved 12 side lifts for each side and then 30 seconds of slow bicycle.

The end of the night involved me signing the contract for 53 more sessions and paying for them. So the year is paid up (on mr. credit card :)) and here we go again :)

Have a great day.

Weights and the Bosu

Last night was another workout :)

We started out very similar to last week's. I did Bosu burpees, Bosu side-to-side jumps, and Bosu squats. Then we did some weights. I did the lat pull-down, bicep curls, and then it was step ups on a bench. Repeat all of the above. Okay now my legs are jelly :)

Then we did low rows, squat to lifts, Bosu high kicks, inverse flies, and Bosu ball bounces. Repeat.

I think there were some more things thrown in there, but for the life of me I can not remember right now. I must have blanked out on them :)

Will be back in the saddle again next Monday. Keeping my Monday 5 pm appointment each week and Erin, I think, likes that she for sure has one person who does not cancel or not show up. It amazes me when she tells me stories of people who have already paid for the training and do not show up. There is someone who has paid for 2 times a week for 50 weeks and showed up once. I just looked at Erin and said wish I could get those.

So I have committed to another year. I am using up last year's (I have 3 free sessions) and then the new ones will start.

Talk to you soon.

Apologies

Hi Faithful Readers,

I apologize for not writing the past couple of weeks. With traveling home for the wedding and then getting back into work, I just did not get to it.

I have gone the past two Monday's, I just did not get a report done.

I have decided to continue with training for another year, so you can look forward to a whole 'nother year of posts :)

Tonight was Bosu torture :) I started out with Bosu burpees, then Bosu jumps, Bosu squats, triceps on the Bosu, squat to shoulder press on the Bosu, Bosu push-ups, and squats with a lateral raise on the Bosu. I also did stability lunges with bicep curls, jumping jacks (I really am hoping that I will eventually make 30 seconds--right now I start the modified at 15 seconds), then triceps, stability ball passes, and finally weighted sit-ups on the stability ball. Repeat!!!!

I was exhausted at the end. I told Erin that the last exercise always kicks my butt--she said "That just means I am doing my job." Hee Hee.

Well the goal is to write again next Monday, but I do have a meeting right after training, so it might not come until Tuesday :)
