I did actually work out yesterday, just had a crazily busy day with little time at the computer. But I fit in the workout! Here it is:
A: DL 1 x 12 x 60#, 1 x 12 x
65#
B1: Dumbbell shoulder press 1 x 12 x 12.5 ea., 1 x 12 x 15# ea.
B2: Wide-grip lat pulldown 2 x 12 x
65#
C1: Lunge 2 x 12 x 7.5# ea
C2: Swiss ball crunch 2 x 12#
I think 15 lb dbs were too much for the dumbbell press, because I couldn't keep good form past about 10 resp (altho I tried). Also--I definitely notice that I'm stronger and have more energy when I eat first
. Go figure!
The cool side effect of all this is that even though there's some stressful stuff going on at home right now (middle schooler with ADD, depression, anxiety, and now they're saying maybe bipolar
), I find that I'm dealing with everything better. I've tried to deal with stress with exercise before, but lifting weights is affecting my mood way more than yoga, walking, or even running ever did. Thanx for all the encouragement!
