Started my workout today with a short 15 minute run and then ventured out onto the crowded World's weight room to begin my lower body sesh. To start, and keeping with my stabilization theme, I did three sets of 12 squats while standing on a bosu ball with a 30 lb. barbell on my shoulders. Someone commented that my back was arched too much (after the fact of course!) and that that could cause lower back pain so I must keep that in mind next time! Otherwise, these felt great. I think I'll make a note to try one-legged squats on the bosu next time, sans weight of course! Next, I moved onto 3 sets of 8 (each leg) one-legged deadlifts. Just the usual move here and I kept the weight at 30 lbs. Between these two I should have some very sore hams tomorrow! The last lower body move I did was 4 sets of 8 (each leg) on the bent-over glute press machine (2 sets straight leg and 2 sets 90 degree bent leg). I love this machine but unfortunately I did not remember to pack appropriate shorts...
For abs today I started with 3 sets of 8 pushups with my feet on a stability ball. I followed these with 3 sets of 20 v-sit medicine ball twists and lastly, 3 sets of "60" second planks (front, left side, and right side planks). I neglected to do any final stretching which I will probably regret tomorrow but it was nearly 7pm and I was too preoccupied with thoughts of dinner. Not sure what tomorrow's workout will bring yet so I guess it will depend on what's not sore!
