Arms Arms Arms Arms---and a few squats :)

Tonight was a lot of arms :)

I started out with 15 minutes on the bike, then lunges with the weight bar, and rubber band walks across the gym. Then Erin joined me :)

We started out with planks with weighted lifts. 8 on each arm. Then onto the Bosu with bicep curls using the uneven bar. Which means that I had most of the weight at one end. Then it was bar squats on the Bosu. Guess what......we then repeated :)

Then it was on the more difficult moves. I balanced on one foot and did two rows, then into a back lunge with a bicep curl up to two shoulder presses. 8 on each leg..... then I did upright lifts (I don't know the correct term...sorry) and then the killers--pull-ins. Where you hold the weights out in front of you, palms facing up, and pull in. Repeat.

Then we headed over to the weight room where I held a 20 pound round weight and did endurance. Started with a squatted lift with a swing of the weight over the head to triceps and back down--8 of each of these exercises. Then into upright rows, dead man lifts, pile squats, squats with a row, and then diagonal lifts. 1 minute break. Repeat.

I finished with weighted obliques.

Overall it was really hard and the sweat was just dripping off of me :) I survived and am sure by Wednesday, I will be sore and stiff, but in a good way.

Have a great week!!!!
