Level: 1
Date: November 20, 2011
Time of exercise: 8:30pm
Qty (each strength is done twice):
pushups: (girl) 18, 14
squat and press: 14*, 10*
dumbbell row: 15 , 15
static lunge w/
bicep curl: 26 , 25
chest Y's: completed all (didn't count these because I knew I could finish them)
anterior raises w/
static lunge**: 23, 18*
* - didn't complete the strength for the whole time allotted
** - due to my bad, crackling knees, I won't do the lunges.
Notes: Are you noticing my '*'s going down? I am!! (The * represent the strength exercises that I wasn't able to do the whole time.) I wish I could say that I feel stronger and more energized, but I really don't notice much of a difference. I struggled to do pushups for the whole time, but I knew I was only one away last time, so that pushed me through today. I was wondering if I could do all of the strengths exercises today, but my form started to go bad in my presses, and I don't want to count those.
Tomorrow will be 7 days of Jillian Michaels, so I'll weigh myself and see if I've shredded anything! I think I'll do a day or two more of Level 1, but I think I'm ready for something new in Level 2.
I plan on doing this every day (I was only home for 5 hours yesterday, with 3 of those hours sleeping, so I didn't have a minute to put towards this), unless I have another day away, or something comes up. I have training next week in California and I plan on bringing the DVDs and weights (I don't think they weight carry ons). That's dedication :)
Before shredding today, I got in my long run of 6 miles (59 minutes). That was at 2:30, so I did wait a long time to do these exercises. I didn't stretch after the run today, so it was nice to get a second chance to do that.
wow! That is dedication..can't believe you would go 6 miles today, what with being on our feet all day yesterday and not much sleep! Kudos to you! I wouldn't even have thought about going running today....nice job!
