So today was another trainer session (AM) I still intend to go to Ab class and also spin class later tonight.
Anyway the session was pretty kick ass. I was feeling so much more energetic since getting my cals and nutrition taken care of. We concluded today that I probably actually did crash last week due to lack of food. This happened partially because I did not fully disclose to him my activity levels. I always forget that most people do not run non-stop from the time they get up until they fall in bed at night or have farms or go to the gym for 3 hours a day sometimes.... etc... I think it aslo happened because most people lie to him about what they eat so he squeezes them down to a bare minimum. In any case I think I am good now and he is starting to get that I am a real serious client with a whole hell of a lot of heart and brain.
Today we started with deadlifts and he work a lot on my form. This exercise is very hard to get correctly so again I took my time and worked with very light weight (45lb) through 3 sets. He works me in exercise groups of 2 for some reason. (I need to ask him about that) In my last set we did the swedish pike ups or the Jake knife for those of you doing NROLW except this time he made me do a push up before each one. Talk about ass kick. I could only do 10 of them x2 sets. You can bet I will work on improving that. Anyway here is my workout today
circut 1 (hamstring/hip)
Deadlifts 3x15 (45lb)
Swedish ball kick outs (push into ball and go in prone position and kick each leg up) 3x15 each leg
circut 2
ab roller 3x15
Ham glute brige and lift with Swiss ball 3x15 (he didn't let me use my hands for balance. this was really tough)
circut 3
swedish pike ups with push up first 2x10
BTW: Here is a video of the prone jack knife or swedish pike up exercise (it is the last one) from my trainer's website. (go to the VIDEO tab - it is the 3rd exercise demonstrated)
