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:0 -

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.0 -

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.0 -
