let me tell you about today's workout. this morning i did wii coach flexiblity focus but today she decided it was going to be mix up day with cardio,lower body, some upper body and abs then about 10 min of stretching. 30 min workout but only 10 min of stretching. thanks grrr.
this afternoon was gym time!!! i did some warm up moves with yoga and squats/deadlfits with body bar b/c my first machine was busy. didn't take long but i moved over to leg press 4 sets of 10 the first set was 100lbs the rest of the sets were 115lbs. next was leg extension, what is it with isolating the muscle that makes it hard?!!! i only did 2 sets of 10 the first with 70lbs then dropped to 60lbs for the 2nd set. next was seated leg curl again only doing 2 sets of 10 the first with 75lbs and the 2nd wtih 60lbs. next i did outer thigh machine 4sets of 10. set 1 and 2 at 70lbs and set 3-4 at 60lbs(this must be why my hips are sore LOL). i planned on inner thighs after that but the machine was busy so i hopped over and did 2 sets of 10 on the standing calf machine first set at 80lbs the 2nd at 60lbs. back to the inner thigh machine 4 sets of 10 with sets 1 and 2 at 70lbs and sets 3 and 4 at 50lbs. really squeezed what i could out the small muscles.
afterwards i figured even though my abs were sore from amy's workout i would do a little more to touch on it. i did the oblique machine 2 sets each side for 10 reps the first sets at 60lbs and the second sets at 50lbs. then i did the back extension machine for 4 sets of 10 the first set 90lbs. it was a challenge for sure set 2 i did at 80lbs and the last 2 sets i did at 70lbs.
after all that i went at did 30 min of intervals on the elliptical switching between pedaling forward and backward every two intervals. i was sweating buckets and my average heart rate was up in the 150s but it got high into the 160s during intervals. i do love that challenge b/c i can't stop with the machine. oh in theory i COULD but then i would feel as if i had failed so i kept going. i didn't fudge with anything i just let the machine do its work while i did mine!
day off tomorrow!! i need it i am already getting sore LOL.
