Here we are, post-workout. Oh, and flexing with our trainer, Byoung. We make him proud. He makes us want to cry!
Today was tough. Not sure if that's due to yesterday's 6-mile run or if I'm just a big wimp. It's debatable. Kelly did different exercises but she said hers were hard too. I started (after 5 min. bike warm up) with squats - 20 seconds continuous then 10 seconds hold, then repeat until 2 minutes is up. Then I did squats with overhead press (25 pound bar) then immediately went into chest press (30 lbs total) then plie squats with 30 lbs (40 reps!), then a 20-pound kettle ball swim (read: torture) then 15 lat pulldowns with 60 lbs. Then single arm triceps overhead while laying down — taking caution not to whack myself in the head with either 8-lb. weight. Then modified burpees (read: almost cried) — push up position, jump legs up to arms then jump up then back down. It was terrible. Then I was atop one of the big balls and did a pelvic tilt/lift while holding a 15-lb. dumbbell. Last in the cycle were these horrible "V" crunches that made me scowl! Then I repeated that fun set of stuff two more times before biking a mile at level 10 at 65 rpm (I was more at 60, but shh!). It was one of the hardest days thus far. Just when I thought it was getting easier...nope. But dinner was excellent. Leftover whole wheat bowties with low-fat ricotta, basil, sundried tomato and lemon and a big salad with shrimp, avocado, black olives, craisins, raw okra and flax seeds. Mmmm. Protein!
