Okay. So, with the formalities out of the way, let's get started. Day One.

I wasn't at all sure what I was getting into, so I basically followed the manual to the letter today. No weight with squats and lunges at all, and I took it pretty easy with the weight on the other exercises, too, until I can get a handle on the correct weight. It looks like workout B will be a little more challenging - we'll find out Wednesday, eh? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Question. TT uses primarily dumbbells for all of the exercises that require weights. Why is this? Safety? I can understand using dumbbells for the DB Bench Press, since that utilizes more of the stabilizing muscles, right? But dumbbells for squats? Is there benefit to using DBs for squats instead of a bar?

Anyway, afterwards, I jumped on the treadmill for my required HIIT. I don't know that anyone else would agree with the "HI" part, but I certainly worked up a sweat doing it.

Hockey season starts tonight, too. 10:15pm they drop the puck. Which means I'll have a lot of fun, but won't be able to fall asleep until 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning. Hockey is great cardio, though - especially if only a few people show up, and I end up on the ice for the entire game. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Until next time...
