Today I left for the gym with out my handy dandy notebook. Luckily I was able to browse to my log posted in this forum on my phone. Doesn't look too bad on my screen, but it was tough to get to the second page of training journals. My phone has no touch screen so I have to hit every single link on the page before it gets to the page two link. Now its bookmarked!

I used the Macys One Day Sale Mailer for my hard surface and a back of a flyer for me to write down my previous w/o weights and today's weights. I felt like I was unprepared with out my notebook! Its like training with no music.

Stage One Workout A
Finally reps are going down and weight is going up. I did a 4 minute warmup on the stairmill and then some stretching, squats with hands on the floor, knee circles and the squat and wiggle move.

Squats BW/10, 65/12, now begins the WO 75/12, 75/12
It felt really good to do them all with good form. After 8 I was not exploding up as quickly as before, but form was still good. I was trying not to be distracted by a young lady doing shoulder shrugs with 155 lbs on the barbell!

Seated Rows: 40/12, WO 55/12, 55/12
Pushups 30 degree/12, 30 degree/12
These are killer on my wrist. It actually feels better when I do them on my fingertips. Have to do that next time.
Step Up - 17.5/12, 17.5/12
There was a class in the room with the steps so I had to use the step machine with the pulleys set at 5 notch.

Prone Jackknife - 10, 10
Finally am able to do them on the ball! I believe the ball I tried to use before was too high. I got on by putting one knee on the ball, then went into a push up position, then brought the other leg onto the ball.

eta: Forgot to mentioned I performed interval training on the stairmill after lifting. Was dripping before I even stepped onto the stairmill.
2 min Level 5
1 min Level 8
Then alternating the below until 15 minutes
2 min Level 5
1 min Level 9

Thanks for reading.
