Weight trained upper body tonight, triceps, chest & abs with my trainer I did a lot of reps till failure tonight! It’s really hard, it tires me out pretty quick, but I like it! I feel like I am really working the muscle hard when I do this! First thing was
Tricep Dips
triceps dips, right into push-ups both till failure, and then bicycles 40 reps. We did three sets of these. We did bench presses, these are one of my favorites to do, my chest always is sore after these, then right into triceps push downs, again until failure and for abs we did reverse sit up with a crunch. Next set is kind of hard to explain…I perform a push-up with one hand on the floor, one on a medicine ball-
Medicine Ball Lateral Push-ups
I roll the ball to my other hand, perform another push-up, 10 of these, thank goodness, because by this point, that’s about all I could muster, then right into close handed push-ups and for abs Captain Chair leg raises. Oh yeah, I almost forgot we also then did 3 sets until failure tricep kickbacks after that! I think I’ll be sore tomorrow!! I did my circuit for cardio again tonight, 5 mins each on the following, the Stairmaster, skipping every other stair at a pace of 90, Cross Trainer, running on the treadmill, bicycle and the only thing I didn’t do for 5 mins was walking backwards on the treadmill at an incline of 50, I upped the speed from 1.2 to 1.4, because my trainer had me do this the other night, and I want to be able to keep up this pace when he gives it to me to do again later. I did this for 2 mins and my quads were on fire!! I can really feel the difference when we up the speed, even by that little bit!
Tomorrow is cardio only, no weights. I miss weight training on Tuesday’s! Wednesday will be legs and glutes and of course I’ll finish with some type of cardio.
Remember to stay on course and be consistent in what you do and you’ll see results!
