    Is it just you two? Do you mind if I get other people to join? I'd also like to join if that's okay. And, I'm a total newbie, so don't laugh at how little I lifted. My arms are very weak. LOL. If I remember correctly, this is what I did yesterday:

    Morning:
    ARC (1 min)

    incline press (10@25lbs), leg extensions (5@70lbs), leg curls (5@70lbs)

    I did this two times: incline press (10@25lbs), leg extensions (5@70lbs), leg curls (5@70lbs), leg extensions (5@70lbs), leg curls (5@70lbs), recumbent bike (3 mins), ARC (2 minutes). * On the 10 on the incline press, I had to go down to 15 lbs because I could barely lift the weights without my arms shaking.

    Afternoon:
    30DS L1
    portable stepper (3 minutes)

    Enjoy your Sunday. :happy:
    The thread is for ANYONE who wants to do daily accountability and get some other ideas about workouts. Also if you have a question for me, I can at least get some insight on the person by looking at their workouts and eating. So tell anyone you want!

    Happy Monday!

    Well, Friday's workout didn't go exactly as planned. No cardio and no abs but did a killer 1 hour chest session.

    Today (hopefully) will be:

    Cardio: 30 min. run (not sure yet if I want to do speed, tempo or just a straight run)

    Strength: Back. I believe today will be on the assisted machine: 1 arm wide pull ups; 2 arm narrow pull-ups; back extension machine; high rope cable rows; 1 arm bent over cable rows; seated row (possibly) 3x10; Abs - not sure yet. Possibly planks and floor work.

    Food: Eh. this weekend wasn't the best. Will get back on track today.

    Grrr. Woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground, knocked over my cup of coffee and burned my toast this morning. :mad:

    However, had a kick-butt workout this afternoon. Got there later than intended so NO CARDIO today.

    Strength: Shoulders - cable work: 1 arm Lateral raises, 1 arm front raises, low pulley deltoid raises, high pulley shoulder adduction (2-arm), 1 arm over head press, rotator cuff rotation, plate raises, "drive the car" 3x10 for all

    Legs: Extension, seated curls, single leg press, calf raises (sled) 3x10

    Pretty dang sore after this workout. Really tried to push the shoulders. I messed them both up somehow pole dancing and while they don't hurt for the most part, they do get stiff and snap and pop a lot. :ohwell:

    Food: Aside from the burned toast this morning, not too bad.

    My elbows do that all the time. It's just tendons "popping" over a space, kinda like cracking your knuckles.

    *grumble*

    Yesterday and today were unplanned rest days. But that's what happens when you fail to get up early to hit the gym.

    Oh well.

    It happens. Shake it off. It's not what you've done in the past that matters now. It's what you do today.

    Thanks! Definitely was emotional crossing that finish line. I've got another one in April. Then, time to think about when I want to do a marathon. :)
