Is it Friday yet?! Whooo what a busy week! I haven't been skipping on my workouts; I've just had so much going on! Promised myself I'd blog tonight though so here we go...
Monday - Crazy intense 3-hour workout at World's where I learned quite a few new moves from a new "significantly above par" gym partner haha (that's a joke to those of you who didn't read last Thursday's post). Started with a run and then followed with a zillion different abs, shoulders, back, and chest moves. Way too much to blog about but I'll definitely be using some of them in future workouts!
Tuesday - Light recovery workout at Planet where I rested my knees on the eliptical and did a lot of stretching, a couple abs moves, and one-legged deadlifts.
And now to today, Wednesday, where I hit up Planet again for Bis & Tris. I started with my warmup on the eliptical again because my knees are still hating on me and I really want to get in a good run at World's tomorrow. Then after a good stretch I moved upstairs to the weight room where I did regular bicep curls, hammer curls, tricep kick-backs, and tricep dips using the bench & stability ball. I only did two sets of each rather than my usual 3 because quite frankly I'm pooped. Plus, I plan to workout with Jen again tomorrow and want to make sure I am pushing us both 110%! So, moving back downstairs, I did front and side crunches on a stability ball with a plate held to my chest and finally, front and side incline crunches on the incline bench.
That's all for today other than some stretches, particularly for the glutes/quads/hamstrings which seem to be perpetually tight. Already starting to mentally write-down tomorrow's workout...while I sit here and eat some ridiculously good Whole Foods pizza!
Keep writing Arielle! I like your blog and it's good motivation for me. I made it to the gym today after a week off sick. Phew. It was hard work.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking a week off to get better! I always push myself when I know I shouldn't :S
