Let's add weights!!!!

So today I got to the gym in the pouring rain and walked in already wet! Well that should help things when I start to sweat!

I did my time on the bike, weighted bar lunges, and rubber band walk. Then Erin told me to start with 70 pound lat pull downs, well they seemed a little easy.... then I did 21s which are using the bar on the cable and go from low to middle 7 times, middle to top 7 times, and then low to top 7 times. And then we went and I sat down and got up with one leg sort of in the air :) The toes went down a couple of times. Then I repeated these, but after the lat pull downs I said well these seemed really easy (It took me 2 seconds to do 12). So then we did those a third time at 80 pounds and well I have to admit that maybe we will be going up to 85 pounds there.

Then we just start raising all my weights--I am strong!!! I then did squats to lifts, donkey kicks, and side kicks...repeat. Then we went over to use both cables for flies. It was a different type of fly as I did not use the square hoops, but instead just used the cables, bent over with Erin leaning on my back so I did not raise my back, and pull out. Then it was biceps on one arm and then next arm using the cable. Finally we did step outs with the cable. Repeat.

Then we headed over the open area and I did V's (lift arms and legs up to meet in the middle), ball twists for 30 seconds, and finally I planked for 30 seconds :)

It was a great night :) Here is hoping all have a great week.

Better late than never

Hi All,

Yeah I am late. Have had a lot going on this week.

This week we worked out on weights :) I started out with 10 minutes on the bike, then bar lunges, rubber band walks and on to the weight side of the gym.

I did bench press (can not for the life of me remember how much weight!!!) Then I did step ups on the bench, repeat. Then it was shoulder presses, lateral raises, and sumo squats. Repeat. Then over the head lifts on the bench (can't remember the actual name of these), flies on the bench, squat machine, and then wall sitting squats. Repeat.

Triceps with the rope on the Nautilus machine, rope pull downs, on the bench and leg lifts and flutter kicks. Repeat.

I was really sore on Tuesday. I redid almost all of this on Wednesday and then again today. I did a little different abs (hee hee) and practiced my balance on the Bosu. Trying to work on my balance weekly.....still having issues, but I will get there.

Have to get moving now....have a great weekend.
