My body hurts

Monday- Cardio 40 mins. bike and elliptical

Tuesday- Weights

Abductors- 40 lbs. 3/20

Adductors-50 lbs. 3/20

Leg Extensions- 40 lbs. 3/15

Squats- 50 lbs. 3/20

Bicep curls w/ bar- 3/20 not sure how much the bar weighs, but I'd guess 20 lbs. (the number is rubbed off)

Tricep dips off a bench- 3/10  (I usually do a tricep pulldown, these were rough!)

V-situps- 3/15

Seated pullback- 30 lbs. 3/20

Chest flys- 30 lbs. 3/20

I know I need to add more ab work and I still need to come up with varying workouts.  I've gone through most of my Women's Health and a couple Shape I have and ripped out exercises now I just need to figure out the best way to put the workouts together so they're useful (on the wall, in a book?)

Wednesday- 1 hr. of Spinning  (the fiancee joined me for the first time and this morning he couldn't get out of bed!)

Tonight I will be lifting again.  Then I have tomorrow off and probably Saturday Spinning and lifting.  And then Sunday off.  I'm tired.

keeping it up

I'm not even sure when I last posted (hopefully I get better at that) but I have been going to the gym regularly.  Bradley and I went last night and I did 40 mins. of cardio- bike and elliptical.  I was sweating when we left, which is what counts!  I still haven't been able to commit to the morning unfortunately, which is mostly due to going to bed so late because I feel like my to do list never ends!  And it's just going to get worse as the wedding gets closer!

Anyway, I will be going to the gym after work today and lifting.  I'll try to update on that tomorrow!

I'm on a roll

So...last week I injured my spine, but this week I started strong on Monday with 45 mins. of spinning.  

Tuesday, I lifted.

leg extensions- 3/15, 45 lbs.

abductors- 3/15, 50 lbs.

abbductors- 3/15, 40 lbs.

squats- 3/15, 50 lbs.

overhead pulldowns- 3/15, 50 lbs.

bicep curls- 3/25  not sure the weight of the bar, but most likely 20 lbs., my arms are hurting today!

V-sit ups- 3/25

chest flys- 3/15, 30 lbs.

Today I did an hour of spinning.  My shirt is soaked!

I was talking to my boss today (he lifts regularly) and I asked him if 2 days lifting and 5 days of cardio was good.  He told me I shoul let my body rest completely at least 2 days a week.  He told me about this thing called Hypertrophy.  Basically, I have to make sure I switch up my lifting routine very often and take only very short breaks between sets.  Because the body gets used to things fast and then I'll no longer build muscle.  So I'm gonna come up with a few different routines and rotate them regularly to keep my body always guessing!  I plan to lift again tomorrow (hopefully in the morning if I get it together) then I'll take off Friday and Saturday or Sunday.
