Well…. I DID IT! I went to my training session. It went very well. I like Paula and how she works. (so far, I mean it was only an hour) She said we were going to start wth her hardest workout - lower body. She wants to see how sore we are today when we come back for day 2. Let me just say, holy…moly…. my legs are shaky today.
This is what we did:
2mins - Elliptical, res. 7
2 sets of 15 - Ball Squats on the wall
2 mins - Elliptial, res. 9
2 sets of 15 - inner thighs, 50 and 65lbs
2mins - Elliptical, res. 10
2 sets of 15 - outer thighs, 60 and 65lbs
2mins - Elliptical, res. 13 and ct. 15
2 sets of 15 - Stiff leg deadlift w/ 15lb body bar
2mins - Elliptical, res. 16
2 sets of 15 - Leg extensions, 25 lbs *hardest 1 for me*
2mins - Elliptical, res. 13 and ct. 15
2 sets of 15 - Calves, 90 and 95lbs
She showed us a specific stretch to do after each set of weight work and gave us a cheat sheet for when we do lower body on our own. Today we train at 2pm and we are working upper body. I told her that free weights intimidate me but I’m excited to learn how to use them properly.
This morning was also weigh in and I lost 5.5lbs!! Yayyy for the flu….j/k! It’s actually TOM and I was worried I wouldn’t lose. I have had the worst cramps of my life.
