So, just incase anyone is wondering what I've been doing in my workouts, this is it:
1st set of stuff:
Flat Dumbbell Press with 2 15 lb weights - 12 reps x 3 sets
Squats w/ 2 10 lb weight - 10 reps x 3 sets
Dumbbell Row- 2 15 lb weights - 12 reps x 3 sets
2nd set of stuff:
Military Press - 2 10lb weights - 12 reps x 3 sets
Lunges - 2 10 lb weights - 12 reps x 3 sets
Reverse Fly - 2 8 lb weights - 12 reps x 3 sets
Other:
Lat pull down - not sure the weight, it's the 4th notch on the weight machine
Mat work:
-Pelvic Tilt: 10 x 2 sets
-Modified dead bug (laying on back with legs in the air, and you do kindof a reverse leg lift) - 10 on each side x 2 sets
-Cat/Cow - 10 x 2 sets
-Another one I forget the name of - you sortof "wag your tail" for lack of a more glamourous description - actually, the yoga name for it is "Tigeress" I think
-Planks: 2 sets of 45 seconds each, front, and side planks
-this thing on the ball where you lay facing up, have your feet on it and pull them under your bum as you are keeping your body raised up in a plank - 10 x 2 sets
Cardio:
30 minutes on the Eliptical - I burn about 400 calories according to the machine in this time. So I'm booting along relatively fast.
Stretching:
Hamstring and Hip flexor stretches mainly.
So it usually takes me about an hour and a half to do all of this workout. I'm doing the entire thing atleast twice a week. Some days I'm just doing the cardio, and some days I just do the weights. But Tuesday nights we have a group of us that goes to the Commonwealth pool, so that is my exact routine on tuesdays and one other night at the gym in my building.
The weights are a lot faster the way I do them than the way the boys do them.. rather than sit around and grunt or whatever they do in between every set, I just work a different muscle group, so I can go straight from my DB Press to my squats to my DB Row without taking a rest, then do that 3 more times. As a result, it takes me 40 minutes or so to do my whole weight regime, then I can get to the mat work and cardio.
So there you have it. And, FYI, I just finished this exact workout minutes before starting on this post, so I only have tomorrow's workout to do and I have met my resolution for the month. Yay me.. and I blogged about it, and I worked on my financial plan. I made a whole spreadsheet for tracking exactly when and how many patients/money I'm bringing in. It is quite fascinating. In fact, when Sean saw it, he said he wants all of us at the clinic to make one up so that we can see how different marketing things effect business.
