Workout - October 19

Well, today was my first "solo flight" at the gym. It went pretty well, all things considered ("all things" being having to wait longer than I am accustomed to or want to for certain stations, dumbells, etc.).

Chest/Back

Nat. Chest Press (1 x 15 x 75lb, 2 x FAILURE (14-15) x 80lb)

Wide Grip Pull Down (1 x 15 x 50lb, 2 x 15 x 60lb)

Nat. Incline Chest Press (1 x 15 x 45lb, 2 x FAILURE (13-14) x 50lb) <-- because there were no available benches for dumbell use instead

Cable Seated Row (3 x 15 x 60lb)

Nat. Chest Flies (3 x 15 x 45lb) <-- because again, no benches available on which to do dumbell flies.

Nat. Seated Rows (3 x FAILURE (14-15) x 60lb)

Bicep/Tricep

Bar Curls (3 x 15 x 30lb bar)
Cable Pushdowns (1 x 15 x 60lb, 2 x FAILURE (15-16) x 60lb)
Reverse Grip Cable Pushdowns (3 x 15 x 40lb)
Hammer Curls (1 x 15 x 15lb Dumbells, 2 x 20 x 10lb) <--- some wimpy-looking executive type took my 15lb dumbells to do shoulder presses and then left them somewhere else.

Abs

Decline Bench Crunches (2 x 25)
Hanging Knee Raises (2 x 15)

Cardio

Stairmaster, Intervals, Level 10, 30 minutes

Thank you!! Was wondering where you've been!

Woman I am SO looking forward to that! I am doing L.A. Fitness for now, since it's right by my job here in the Doral. Hey can you PM me your number again?! I lost the post-it note before I could transfer it to my cell phone!

Did you workout before work today or something? DOnt you usually train after work?

Not anymore. Now that I'm not doing sessions with the trainer, I have to do it on my own, and my lunch hour is as good a time as any to do it. I have a gym five minutes from here. Since my weights days are week days, it's perfect. Get it out of the way and only have to do abs and cardio when I get home which also leaves enough time between weights and cardio if I want to do HIIT training a few nights a week.

Weekends, I'll be working somewhere where I can work out, if all goes as planned, so that takes care of my weekend cardio.

As for my trainer, we are working together on some other stuff. I'm meeting with him tonight to talk biznitch. So who knows. I may end up working out there again some times.

More goals to think about...

I really do need to get a bike. Originally, I'd thought about training for a sprint triathlon, and concentrated on my weight training and transformation instead.

Now that I've got one goal down and am in pretty decent shape, I think I might take up this next challenge. Tri training.

The diet and exercise formula will have to change quite a bit for something like this to be successful. That gives me a new perspective from which to learn more about nutrition as well. Hmmm...

Lots to think about.

But first, gotta get myself a bike.

great goal ... boy, we certainly are motivated

Well I ain't gonna get very far just sittin' pretty, babe!

 

[ncgirl21]

I'm going to get a bike too. I just think it would be fun to ride outside again!

 

[Jeanie]

I love my bike. It has helped my legs and glutes so much , not to mention how many calories it burns ! Just make sure you pack something light to suck on or eat because when my bodyfat was really low I would have my blood sugar level dip really low and it felt like a panic attack or something. SCARY

SEE? good to know. the only times i used to ride my old bike was to and from school when i lived a few blocks from it, and at the trails at a local park, and even then it was WUSS biking trails. I never really did much work. Definitely no distance. Bikes and I, historically, we have not gotten along. hahaha! But it's time to form an alliance.

that's where I'm going wrong.

Good morning GG! Day after....how do you feel?

Tri training sounds like an awesome goal and one I considered myself..well duathalon actually, not big on the swimming lol

I have a mountain bike and love to ride..ahhh, the freedom and speed is exhilerating! I'm sure whatever goal you set, you'll reach..and then some!

Day after... well, feels like day during. Since I haven't taken the pics, I'm still on the same diet until tomorrow, so that I don't suddently get bloated when I add a bunch of starchy carbs back in. hahaha!

So just a day or two more on this. I may hold on until my mexican extravaganza on Saturday.

I had dinner with the trainer and his business partner yesterday. At a mexican restaurant. BUT I took my own food. HOW SAD IS THAT?!??!!?! Funny thing is that I wasn't feeling all miserable. I was like, "Oh well... THat's what you will eat, and this is what I will eat and that's just the way it is." It wasn't as bad as I pictured it on the way to the restaurant

Tri-training. I'm still THINKING about it. It's a huge commitment. I may want to take it easy for a few weeks, just do my regular training, before jumping into this.

There's a schedule for a beginner's training on triathlete.com. The training focuses on cardio activities, obviously, so it's a big change from what I've been doing now which is focusing more on weights.

Good morning!

 

[Luke9583]
