Great Urban Race - Philly

Gym girl

Went to ZN again. Upped some of the weights:

Shoulder press 60# 8, 4+2, 3+1
Pullups weighted 10 x 90,# 80#, 70#

Weight machines

I need to get back into the habit of going to the gym. If I do heavy weight on the machines, it will be as good as my previous workouts. So here's what I did.

8,6,4

Front press 60# tough
Mid row/lat pull 60# too easy
Shoulder press 60# deadly (7,1; 3,3; 2,2)
Weight-assisted pull ups - messed up. Didn't know that more weight is easier! 120#x10, 140#x10, 160#x10 too easy
Dips - sames as pull ups - too easy
20# single hand bicep curls - perfect

12,8,6
25# dumbell swings

100 crunches

Felt pretty good!

Lifting before a fight

Tonight I am going to watch the M-1 Global fights in AC. Gotta get buff - those fighters are in such great shape. They inspire me.

Still limited by my foot. Doctor says 3-5 more weeks until I am healed.

16, 12, 8 single hand 25# kettle bell swings

8, 6, 4:
seated military press 50#
curls 50#
bench press 50#

100 crunches

Time for a quickie

My ankle has been killing me, but after a long day at the computer, and before my son's Back to School night, I fit in a quickie workout:

16, 12, 8 single hand 25# kettle bell swings

8, 6, 4:
seated military press 50#
curls 50#
bench press 50#

100 crunches

...and the quickie was good!

Skinny Fat

My trainer read me the riot act. I went to the gym to lift with my friend Dana. She was once married to a personal trainer. So, we did 4 sets of 15 on various machines. Trainer said, NO!!!! You will become skinny fat. Lift heavy for less reps. Will try that next time.

Did my workout:

16,12,8 kettle bell swings 25#
8,6,4 seated military press 45# bar
8,6,4 curls 45# bar

15 min bike on setting 1
100 crunches

Ankle is getting better!

Let's try this again

My ankle has been killing me all week. It's swollen and it hurts. So, I stayed home on Thursday and yesterday. In return, I alllowed myself to work out today. I am so much happier. Let's see what the ankle thinks.

16,12,8 kettle bell swings 25#
8,6,4 seated military press 45# bar
8,6,4 curls 45# bar


10 minute bike ride on setting 1 - my foot hurts a little, but I need to ease in to get a work out for legs and cardio.

I need to get up to 4-5 x/week work out. Otherwise, I turn into a bitch!
