New Workout!



A week into the last workout and I decided that I wanted to modify a couple of things. Mainly, though the cardio I was doing was making me sweat - I didn't feel it was enough intervals, so I am upping my intervals to 10 minutes of 30/10 with a one minute warm up and a one minute cool down. Im just shy of middle resistance, so my plan is to increase to 10 minutes total next week (30/10 intervals with 1 min each of warm up/cool down) and then start increasing the resistance. You will notice a good portion of Shoulder exercises, as that is one of the muscle groups that lands me in the chiropractors office the most. I added a Bicep group, and I have upped the Side Leg Raises to 4 sets of 15 reps each (2 sets per side). Even so - I am still neglecting the following muscle groups:

Lats
Neck and Upper Traps
Obliques
Quads

I will be adding one of those a piece going forward with every workout modification, as I increase my endurance.

Strawberry Metal Workout, Version 1.A (this is the printable from workoutlabs.com with all of the pictoral exercises!)


On the motivation front, I actually do feel pretty bad ass when I am dripping with sweat......which lasts only 10 minutes before I jump into the shower :)

New Day!

Now that I have got some things in my personal life kind of in order, we are back on track!

Last night I did some cardio on my Stationary Bike, as well as worked what seems like every muscle in my body. I made this workout, and my cardio (since Im starting fresh again) is currently at 6 minutes (1 min ea warm up/cool down and 4 minutes of 20/10 second intervals). Everything feels fine today but my neck - I fuckered it up REAL Good.

I need to keep reminding myself this. I actually got a tattoo on my wrist, so its always in my field of vision, and It can always remind me that I can be whoever I want to be, as long as I keep going.

Today is a new day!
