I never get a chance to enter anything during the weekend so this has to cover three pretty busy days.
Saturday: Did a one hour spin class that went really really well - covered in sweat but the last track just killed me - it was a sprint/jump/run/sprint number - which after just under an hour of high intensity intervals made me see spots. Then somehow I got talked into helping my girlfriend's touch rugby team practice - so that was another half hour of running around at the end of the day. Whew. Went to bed tired but feeling good.
Sunday: Mmmm - yoga. It stretched my back out a bit and left me feeling floaty all day. I got a new yoga mat that was really slippery so that when I went to do the back bends I dropped myself on my head when both hands slid out - ow.
Monday (today): Shoulders/Abs/Forearms
Seated Dumbell Presses - 15x6, 12x7, 10x8, 8x10 (can still go heavier on this)
Standing Lat Raises - 14x5, 12x6, 10x7, 6x8 (managed to at least do one more than last week, but my form is ropy as hell - gotta work on this)
Bent Over Dumbell Lat - 14x6, 12x7, 10x8, 8x10 (got there on the last rep but once again the form wasn't all there - I'll get teh form worked out before I progress further I think)
Seated Dumbbell Wrist Curls - 12x4, 2x 10x5 - my grip strength has improved because this was a cinch. Gotta up the weight next time.
Twisting Crunches - 2 x 15x5 (not sure if this is better with weights or not 'cos it restricts the range of motion with the weight on the chest)
Bent Over Twists - 2 x 15x6
Leg Raises - 2 x 15
Lying Front Kicks - 2 x 15
Crunches - 2 x 15 x 5
