Default Valentine Warmup 2

Bench Press on Stability Ball 1x15@25
Cable Row on Functional Trainer 1x15@40 (?)
Single Leg Squats 1x10
Russian Twists w/Medicine Ball 2x10@6
Run/Walk 1 Mile (Did yesterday)


This completes Valentine #2. It was nice as it allowed me to try some different things out, give the muscles something to do, and find out what needs improvement. I discover I need a lot more balance and flexibility in order to do single leg squats properly. For the heck of it I tried the dreaded BSS after this workout and still had balance problems. But not as severe as before, so I suppose that's progress. I also was complimented on the russian twists - was told they were impressive by one of the other gym goers - it was actually the first time I'd tried them on the floor with a medicine ball. I also noted that I didn't have enough flexibility to touch the ball to the floor, but I'm not sure if that's expected with the exercise. Still it was nice to hear.
