Today’s Killer Intense Workout

I was surprised at how warm it felt in Boston today!  While walking into the gym, I decided to warm up running around downtown Boston instead of using the treadmill.  After 35 minutes of leisurely running around Boston Common, the Charles River and down Comm Ave, I hit the weights.  Here is the routine:

-Single Leg Backwards Lunge with Bicep Curl on a Foam Pad: I did 15-20 reps on each leg and a total of 20 bicep curls using 10 lb dumbbells.

-Push up T-Twists: I did 20 push ups (10 twists to each side)

-Bicycle Crunches: I did 30 reps (or 60 total twists)

-Sumo Squat Series: I did 20 sumo squats with 10 lb dummbells in each hand, then pulsed for a count of 5 up on my left tippy toe, then my right.  Then I alternated tippy toes while staying in squat position for 6 counts then stayed up on both tippy toes for 10 counts.

-Chest Press on Physio Ball: I did 20 reps using 15 lb dummbells in each hand.  I also put my feet on top of two balancing pods to engage my core.

-Plank: I did this for 1 minute and put my feet on the balancing pods again.

I did this sequence 3 times!  I then ran home and had to eat something.  This is what happens when I don’t do anything on the weekends :)

Workin’ On My Fitness

The title of these posts is to make you laugh and not take working out so seriously but in all honesty, here is what I did today:

Ran to the gym (<12 minutes woohoo).  I was 30 minutes late :( unintentionally so I had to workout on my own.  Sorry Mike!

I did 6 different exercises.  Three sets of each.

Smith Machine Squats - 20 reps (20 lbs at first then 30 lbs for the last 2 sets)

Dumbell Curls - 30 reps (10 lb dumbells each hand)

Pushups on Bench - 20 reps (My hand were on bench so it was an incline pushup I guess)

Jumping Lunges - 20 reps on each leg

Incline Chest Press - 20 reps 15 lbs on each side

Reverse Curls - 15 reps (20 lbs on pully machine, which I dropped to 17.5 lbs on the last set).

I ran home and had extra energy when I arrived so I did a mini loop to total 17 minutes home.  I feel good.  Now please, can the cookies in my house disappear so I don’t eat them?  What did you do today?

Today’s Workout

So I didn’t post my workouts Monday or Tuesday so here they are:

Monday: I helped out EA Sports Active workout lounge during their press hour and played the new edition “More Workouts” for about an hour - an hour and a half.  I decided not to do anything else because I had a lot going that day and was pretty busy.

Tuesday: I ran for 50 minutes, or about 5.5 miles.

Wednesday: Today I’m going to run to the gym (1.5 mi) and do some strength training.  Most likely today I will focus on legs, biceps and abs.  I’ll let you know what I do when I get back!

Friday’s Workout

What didn’t I do today? Wow.  So I ran to Revolution Fitness which is a little over 1.5 miles away.  It took me an easy 15 minutes (There is a lot of traffic, so lots of stop and go running which I hate!).

Once I got to the gym, Mike D weighed me at a very proud 131.5 lbs! Which is a good thing!  We were on a day two schedule which is triceps, back, shoulders, abs.

Here are the circuits:

Circuit 1 (3x)

Deadlift: 15 reps, just the bar

Nosebreakers: 15 reps, the bar + 5 lbs on each side

Push/Press: 15 reps, the bar + 5 lbs on each side

Tricep Dips: 15 reps

Circuit 2:

Lateral Pull Down: 15 reps 50 lbs (I think)

A move I don’t know the name of - sorry! haha. It worked my upper back.

Sky Dives: 15 reps

Stragglers…

Wall Toss Oblique Twist (Big soft Medicine Ball) 20 reps each side (2x)

Kettlebell Squats 20 reps (2 sets) 20 lb kettlebell

Most people would have stopped after that killer workout but I decide to take Gentle Yoga with Solange that was so relaxing and rejuvenating.  It was the perfect workout to begin my weekend stress free!  She even came around and corrected my pigeon pose which I have been meaning to get checked out for quite some time now!  I think I’ll try a harder class next time.  Here is a picture from a photo shoot I did with Solange before even taking her class, lol.
