Last night, I promised Coach Christian (AKA boyfriend) that I would hit the gym with him this morning as long as he agreed that I could sleep in 'til 10 am. So, this morning, although I felt like poo (nice grown up word! I know!), I hit the gym. On the way Coach asked if I had a plan and I told him my plan was what whatever his plan was... clearly I was not thinking!!!
We started off with some simple stretching.. I of course made a joke out of it, playing copy cat to whatever stretch he did, except exaggerating it to a bit of an extreme. Then the workout began. It was a circuit and I was expected to run from one exercise to the next all the way to the end! IT KICKED MY BUTT! Our workout was as follows (we did 3 sets of each, one set is 15 reps [on each side if applicable]):
This machine works wonders!!! If after a workout you have the opportunity to use one of these DO IT!!!! It is worth the 60 second wait if someone is already on it. You stand on it with your feet comfortably planted and push start and it just vibrates (not just-- it VIBRATES YOUR WHOLE BODY!!!) I was sure I would be sore after this workout but because of this I still don't feel it!
That being said, I still NEEDED a bath tonight... a HOT, WARM, BUBBLE BATH!

Our workout was as follows (we did 3 sets of each, one set is 15 reps [on each side if applicable]):
- Dumbbell curls (at a weight you can do 3 sets with) paired with an oblique curl thing (with a dumbbell weighing as much as you can hold with just one hand, slowly lower the weight down below your knee, only bending at the waist, keeping your back straight and shoulders back. Then pull the weight back to home.)
- Russian twist paired with crunches (we used a crunch machine which just gives your back more support.)
- Seated Cable Row (On the cable row machine) paired with butterflies (on the butterfly machine)
- finally a basic tricep press (Just one set)
