Today I did Workout 5A in stage 1.
Warm-up and stretch from Muscle Max.
Squats
warm-up set 8 reps at 30lbs
warm-up set 6 reps at 45lbs
3 x 10 sets at 60lbs
Alternating sets of:
Push-ups
3 x 10 full push-ups
and
Seated row
set 1: 10 at 60lbs
set 2: 10 at 68lbs
set 3: 10 at 72lbs
Alternating sets of:
Step-up
set 1: 10 with 2x 9kg dumbells
sets2&3: 10 with 2 x 9kg dumbells + 1lbs wrist weights
and
Prone jackknife
3 x 12 (though middle set might have been 10 because I forgot I was doing 12!)
These were a mixture of sort of half pikes, and standard jackknifes. I found them a bit of a struggle today, especially the last set.
I am always better with the step-ups on my left leg, balance seems a lot better.
I had planned to go higher in weight with the squats but it all seemed a bit hard today.
Still doing okay with the food, but tonight my husband and I always get a take-away, it's our evening "off". I don't know if I can really get away with it or if it is undoing all my good work for the week, but I will see.
I had a look at Fitday. I think it looks quite good, although being English a lot of the brands etc are likely to be different. Plus you all measure everything in cups!
I need grams or at least pounds and oz! But I have got a lot of my own data on excel spreadsheets so I think I could adapt it when I get time.
