Weights 4/20

I’m so glad I’m keeping up with this. I’m actually noticing a difference already. Today, I got my roommate to come and do this with me!

First I warmed up with 2 sets of leg lifts. 10 to each side, hold for 10 on the last, then 25 forward lifts (sorry I don’t know the technical names!)

I got the rest of my workout from http://www.howsweeteats.com/

 

Workout #1 – UPPER BODY BLAST!

Combo 1: Complete one set of each exercise, then repeat for a total of 2 sets.  12 repetitions of each.

 Lat Pulldowns (70lbs)

Dumbbell Chest Flyes (17.5lbs)

Side Lateral Shoulder Raises (7.5lbs)

10 pushups

Combo 2: Complete one set of each exercise, then repeat for a total of 2 sets. 12 repetitions of each.

Seated Row (70lbs)

Dumbbell Chest Press (20lbs)

Bent Over Rows (20lbs)

10 pushups

Combo 3: Complete one set of each exercise, then repeat for a total of 2 sets. 12 repetitions of each.

Overhead Shoulder Dumbbell Press (12.5lbs)

Triceps Dips

Biceps Curls (12.5lbs)

10 pushups

I finished with one more set of the leg lifts, then a minute and 10 second plank hold.

Note: In the original workout, it was 25 pushups, but I acknowledge I am not that strong, so I cut it back. Also, the bent over rows were originally overhead triceps extensions, but those cause discomfort in my shoulders, so I changed it to another triceps exercise. And, in parenthesis are the weights I used.
