After a chest & back workout yesterday at World's, I hit up Planet today for a bi's & tri's workout. I took part in a Habitat for Humanity project in Freeport today and my body was just way too beat for a solid workout. I would have skipped the gym but tomorrow is going to be a rest day so that I can take care of my poor puppy who has to have surgery so I pushed through my weight sesh today. On another note, I completely forgot that today is the first Monday of the month....the nasty Little Caesar's pizza smell did not help my motivation!
My workout wasn't anything spectacular today. Started with a run but only did 15 minutes since my legs were seriously dragging. Then I went upstairs and did the following:
1. 3 sets of 8 regular bicep curls
2. 3 sets of 8 tricep bench dips with my feet on a stability ball
3. 4 sets of 8 leg lifts on the standing leg lift machine (2 sets front lifts and 2 sets side-to-side lifts)
4. 3 sets of 8 tricep kickbacks (each arm)
5. Venturing back downstairs: 3 sets of 8 hammer curls while standing on a bosu ball (I'm trying to incorporate more balance-work into existing workouts going forward in an effort to "get more bang for my buck"!)
6. And lastly, 2 sets of 20 followed by 2 sets of 12 incline bench crunches (front and side-to-side crunches)
I have to say I was very tempted to grab some pizza myself as the pile of boxes was eyeing me from the table right next to where I was doing my incline crunches but luckily I did not give in! I love pizza but it grosses me out that everyone is grabbing out of the same box that the sweat/dirt/germ-covered gymmers in front of them touched on their way out. I don't know about you but when I grab a slice of pizza I usually have to grab the crust of the slice next to it in order to rip it off so who knows what nasties touched the crust of the slice you are about to take! Plus, Little Caesar's isn't exactly worth ruining your diet for.
So that was all for my workout today. I kind of feel like I did back today more than anything due to lifting random house parts all day long. I'm thinking Wednesday will have to be a good lower body day to balance it all out!
