Hell yeah there was a workout today!!  I met Ashley at the gym at 8 am this morning.  Here is my new circuit training:

1. 5 minute warm-up on treadmill ~ 2.0 to 2.2 mph.
2. Alternating lunges on step (like the kind you can change the height on).  ~ 15 reps.



3. Alternating row with supinated grip.  This is performed on a Functional Trainer ( see picture at right).  Basically I grab both pulleys, hold one arm in tight while I do a row with the other.  Then I switch arms.  ~ 15 lbs, 20 reps each side.
4. Cable chest press.  Again, using the Functional Trainer with the handles, standing with one leg in front of the other, slightly bent, and pulling the handles/pulleys out in front of me. ~ 20 reps of 10 lbs each.
5. Planks.  This is where I hold my body like this:

 

This is for held for 20 seconds.

  6.   Pull throughs.  This is using one side of the Functional Trainer, changing the handle to a bar, and using my shoulders to press down to my thighs. ~ 20 reps of 25 lbs.

  7. Wood chops, low to high.  Basically what you see in the picture below.  I kind of thinking of it as throwing away, lol. ~ 15 reps of 10 lbs on each side.

It’s tough, but I made it through two rounds in 40 minutes.  She wants me to do three rounds at a time.  I told her I would think about it. 

After that was over,  I came home and collapsed for a bit.  Then it was time to meet that Andrea chick for coffee/tea at one of our favorite places, Sugar, Inc.  I had one cupcake there, a Pumpkin Spice.  Sooooo good.  I also took a Strawberry Silk with me.  And I had an iced Strawberry Fields tea while I was there.  Nummy!

Today was much better than yesterday.  BUT, I really needed more calories today since I had such a taxing workout.  But in any case, with an 8.4 lb weight loss – I’m pretty happy!!

Hope you’re having a great week!
