Okay, I've been getting off track, and I realized I was not looking forward to my workouts. Stage 5 just wasn't very fun. I was looking forward to Stage 7 though --- so I went ahead and jumped. I'd never planned on doing Stage 6 -- maybe later sometime.
So today I did the first Stage 7 workout. It's a killer!!!! I sometimes had to stop during a lift to catch my breath and the 30 second rests between were just long enough to bring my heart rate don't a bit. I basically never caught my breath!
A -- BB Squat -- 1x20x55 1x8x55 I misread at first and did 20 of these the first set. I may go up on weight next time since it's only supposed to be 2x8.
B1 -- Static Lunge Rear Foot elevated -- 2x20x5e 1x20xBW, 1x15xBW
B2 -- Pushup -- 1x20xBW(step) 3x20xBW(bench 2x15xBW (bench)
B3 -- BB RDL -- 2x20x70, 2x15x70
B4 -- DB BO-Row 4x20x15
1 mile on treadmill 15 minutes.
As you can see, I realized after the first 2 sets, that I had bitten off more than I could chew. I was huffing and puffing the whole time. It's all good though. My heartrate monitor said I burned off 800 calories during the hour (including the treadmill) and my avg heart rate was 141 for the hour. That's a lot of calories.
