Training session number 4:
My trainer asked me how I felt. I told him I was fine. I then confessed to slight soreness on the day of training but nothing really after that and besides I worked out in the gym the night of my training as well as the next day. His comment was to say that was great. He said to have hussle and no soreness is the best way to be while in a training program.
Okay let's see now...
Swedish Pike-ups 3x15
another exercise I don't know the name of: I had a wheel with a handle and I leaned on it and pushed out while straightening my legs. 3x15
I alternated the above two exercises
Then we walked over and I got handed two 15 pound dumbells and I had to press them up over my head and touch them. I had to focus on keeping weight in my heels and keeping my head up when I got tired. 1x15, 1x12, 1x10
I used a machine for the next one. I faced away from it and had two handles attached to ropes in my hands (the ropes where attached to weights but I am not sure how much). My job was to press the handles together in front of me keeping my elbows at a slightly bent angle. On this one I could really see my arm muscles working in the mirror. 3x15
Then we went to this funny looking piece of equipment and I put my quads on the designated pad and hooked my feet under the bars so that my body was hanging off the other side. I was looking at the floor. I was handed a 10 pound medicine ball and my job was to bend all the way to the waist and then come up as high as I could arching my back. This is like the swan movement in Pilates. I actually got a cramp in my hamstring from doing that one but it went away pretty quickly. 3x15
He finished me off (quite literally actually) with push ups from one of those inverted 1/2 swedish ball things. (I swear I will learn the nomenclature one day. I told ya'll I wasn't ready to start a log yet) I did 3x10 of these but kept dropping my knees on the last sets. I was just wasted in my shoulders and arms.
It felt good.
I think I am starting to sort of like this stuff.
