Back day or was it arms?

Well today turned into back day, but it seemed like a lot of arm work to me :)

I started out with my lunges and then I stepped up on one foot, lifted my other knee, bent over to touch my toe, and then lifted my knee again. Yeah--my balance sucks and this is something I might have to keep working on since I fell off a couple a times....okay a lot of times!!!!

Then we moved over to the weights and I did the dead weight lifts, dead weight flies, and bicep curls that were killer because I went up fast and then had to go down slooooowly. Erin had to help me do the lift ups after four since my arms were burning. Then I did pull-ups and tried to weighted squats on the bar. I just could not get into a comfortable position that did not hurt so we changed it to using a bar weight instead of the bar machine and that went better.

Then it was y's and some other painful arm weight exercise that had me grimacing quite attractively!!! I did hammer lifts (first round at 15) and lift ups and outs. Then to heaven lifts (OMG) and timed kick ins. Of course everything was repeated.

Right now I am in some pain and need to get off the computer since I am not in an ergonomic position and in a painful position. So off to stretch out my muscles and empty the dishwasher.

Have a great week everyone and as Erin says "It is only pain, Paula!" hee hee
