Yesterday I did Stage 1 Workout A5, yup, added another set of reps in. Going into this, I didn't think it was going to take as much out of me as it did. But, by the last prone jack knife, I was ready to lay down.
Here's how it went:
Squats: 3 sets of 10 at 95lbs
Push Ups: 3 sets of 10 with 8 second side plank thing after push up number 5 and 10. (I think I'll add more in next time, just because I like the way it feels)
Standing 1 Point Row: 2 sets of 10 at 50lbs, 1 set of 10 at 45lbs. (25lbs in each hand and 22.5 lbs in each hand) It turns out there is a seated row cable station at the gym, I've just never noticed it before, but, since I've been doing the Standing 1 Point, I'm going to continue with that.
Step Ups: 3 sets of 10 with 40 lbs (20 lbs in each hand.)
Prone Jack Knife: 1 set of 12-half straight leg, half bent, 1 set of 10-half straight leg, half bent, 1 set of 12 bent leg.
After the workout, my bf wanted to shoot some hoops, so I did that for a while. Getting that ball up was hard! But I made a few baskets anyway.
This morning, did 15 minutes of HIIT with the pup again. I'm surprised at how much more energy I have after HIIT compared to just running or jogging alone for the same amount of time. I really like this. I'm afraid, however, that it's also giving the pup more energy, something that she doesn't need. She was out of control yesterday evening. Took her to the dog park where other noticed how much more riled up she was than normal. We'll see how she does today.
Food for yesterday:
Whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter
2 small oranges
1/4 cup of mixed nuts with dried cranberries (almond and pecan mix)
Curry chicken salad on a whole wheat tortilla (made from left over chicken breast, mayo/curry mix, celery, tomatoes, and dried cranberries.)
Veggies with hummus
1/2 6" meatball sub--leftover from last night
1 luna bar
post workout shake (whey powder and 1 cup soy milk.)
