More strength training today!
Same routine as before, except I increased the number of reps for my bicep curls. All are 15 reps and 2 sets unless otherwise noted:
- Dumbbell Sumo Squat; 30 lbs
- Straight Arm LAT Pulldown; 20 lbs
- This is beginning to feel too comfortable...as in, it's getting too easy. I think I will increase reps next time (before increasing the weight). The machine I'm using increases by 10 pounds, rather than 5 pounds.
- Push Up on Ball
- Dumbbell Walking Lunge, Single Leg Balance, Dumbbell Lateral Raise; 5 lbs, 20 reps
- Dumbbell Tricep Extension, Dead Bug Position; 5 lbs
- Prone Ball Leg Curl
- Dumbbell Bicep Curl, Wall Sit; 5 lbs, 20 reps
- Feeling the burn again!
- Side Lying Crunch on Ball
As I briefly alluded to above, our "fitness center," located in our building is a little sad. Here are a few pictures:
One 10-lb weight. Yep, just one. |
The 30-lb weight I use for my sumo squats. There are two of them, but I only need one for the exercise. |
The weight machine. I use the bar dangling from the top to do the straight arm LAT pulldown exercise. |
5 lb and 3 lb weights (I think). I use the red ones, which I think are 5 pounds to do a number of the exercises. |
My personal trainer was kind enough to take this meager inventory into consideration when she designed my strength training routine!
