in the gym #1 is done!
soooo verrrrry sleeeeeepppppyyyyy…
But I got past what is the most difficult thing for most people including myself – I STARTED!
I began my day with a speedy 35 minute commute to work – 10 miles of peddling faster than I’ve ever peddled before.
I was BEAT and decided to not run at lunch to give my body a bit of time to recuperate. Four o’clock rolled around and I headed to the gym and turned my planned 20 minute run outside into a 10 minute warm-up treadmill run. Then I proceeded with a workout as follows:
3 sets x 12 reps bench press
3 sets x 12 reps dumbell bicep curls
3 sets x 10 reps back extensions
2 sets x 10 reps dumbell tricep extensions
3 sets x 10 reps shoulder press
3 sets x 10 reps shoulder shrugs
2 sets x 12 reps bent over rows
2 sets x 10 reps abdominal crunches
3 sets x 12 reps lat pull-downs
3 sets x 12 reps seated cable rows
And then I biked home – SLOWLY.
Today’s workout was probably pretty light by most workin’ out type people’s standards but it sure did kick the heck outta me and now I’m laying here on the couch getting beat up by my two-year old! HELP!
I’m concentrating on low weight, high reps done slowly with control and I ain’t touchin’ my legs. Maybe after I’m used to this I’ll work on them but the way I see it my legs are WAY ahead of the rest of my body with all the biking and running they do. Besides, those puppies are tired and probably can’t handle anything else being thrown at them.
What really surprised me about today was I got it all done in 40 minutes including the 10 minute warm-up run. WOW!
So workout number one is done – yippee kiyay MF’er!!! (pardon the language!)
Check this site out. I found it while planning my workout. Neat huh?
