Monday - 1st day
I watch my son most mornings before work before my mother-in-law shows up to take over. While playing with him this morning I managed to squeeze in a few body-weight exercises -- I figure I need to fit them in where I can.
- 2 sets of Hindu squats, about 30 each set.
- 2 sets of Bulgarian split squats, using the sofa and just body weight.
- 2 sets of Hindu pushups
- front and side planks
At lunchtime I went for a run, about 3 miles, and finished with 4 hill repeats (one sprint up, one bounding up, one backwards, and a final sprint up). This was my first run in a couple of months, and it felt really good to run again.
After work I did NROL Break-in Workout A:
- Barbell Squat - 2 sets of 15, using just the 45 lb. bar. Mainly working on proper technique and balance for now, but I'll add a little weight next time.
- Static lunge - Used just the 45 lb. bar, but still couldn't complete all 15 reps. Still a good workout, though. I could really feel my core working to maintain balance, and this is exactly the type of training my body needs.
- 2-point dumbbell row with elbow out. Used 15-lb dumbbells and still couldn't quite complete all 15 reps. I told you I was weak.
- Pushups/swiss ball crunces. 8-10 reps each set was about all I could do.
