I managed to get to the gym, by myself, on a Saturday – pretty good. Today was day 5 at the gym – and I will be getting in a 6th tomorrow.

The moves I busted out today:

  • 15 minutes of interval cardio (treadmill). 1 minute @ 4mph, 2 minutes @ 9mph.
  • 3 sets, 45lb dumbbell dead lifts to bicep curls (both arms at once)
  • 3 sets 40lb dumbbell bicep curls (one arm at a time)
  • 3 sets of 25 free-weight squats
  • 3 sets 40lb dumbbell hammer curls
  • 4 sets of standing overhead tricep press (60lb,70lb,75lb,70lb)
  • 3 sets of reverse tricep push downs (20lb,12.5lb,12.5lb)

And then I realized I had lost my keys and had to cut my workout short. I found them – which was good because I had no other way to get into my car.

The cardio was awesome – I got a great sweat on. Intervals are key to improving cardio and losing fat. Now that I’m going 6 days a week I am trying to focus more on individual muscle groups (as opposed to doing full body). I will still be incorporating a lot of the cross fit exercises are part of my workout – they keep my heart rate up, improve lung capacity, and overall power.
