Strength Training - May 19th, 2009
NROL - Break-in A3
So, I did a 5-min cardio warm-up outside, followed by 10 reps each of the prescribed warm-up (except for the t-push-ups - can’t do them). Then I did:
A: Barbell Squat - 50t/15, 55t/15
B1: Static Lunge - 20e/15, 22e/15
B2: Two-pt Dumbbell Row with Elbow Out - 22e/15, 25e/15
C1: Push-up - 15, 15
C2: Swiss-Ball Crunch - 20, 20
Then I did the metabolic overdrive intervals - 3, with 5-min warm up and cool down. (19 mins total)
51 mins, 379 cals, Max HR: 168 (95%), Avg HR: 129 (73%)
The workout was pretty good. I did the warm-up and the intervals in the backyard. As it was such a gorgeous day out today. I managed to clean up the grape vines (one of the major posts came down in the fall), stringing the wires on some new posts. I should have probably done it earlier in the year and cut it back more but I didn’t.
After the workout I went outside, sat on the patio, having my post workout shake. Just me and the cats, enjoying the day. Then had a nice swim and should start making my dinner pretty soon.
