August 16, 2004 Monday Workout

Chest Press............50 pounds.........30 reps

Leg Press Sled........125 pounds........30reps

Bike 2 minutes, keeping rpms. above 70

Seated Row..........65 pounds............30 reps

Seated Leg Curls....65 pounds.........30 reps

Shoulder Press.........30 pounds.......30 reps

Ball squats with 12 pound weights 30 reps

Bike 2 minutes, keeping rpms. abobe 70

Arm Curls......... 15 pounds.....30 reps

Tricep extension..20 pounds.....30 reps

The reps are 10 at a time, a 10 second rest, but not what I would call a full rest. Brian makes he hold the weights midway, of actually letting them down, then down a bit further, then right back to the exercise.
I feel great about the workout, and the muscles are totally exhausted.

Sounds good Joan, with reps like that you will have some really good muscular endurance shaping up. :)

woa Joan :yay: I bet you feel like rubber now;)

Your boy toy is working you fer sure hehehehe

Joan--

That guy is really keeping you at it isn't he?? Did you come home shakey again today??

Today was Biking for me--tomorrow is my last session with my gal but Bill and I think that maybe meeting with her once a month to see if I need to do some changing might be in order.

Have a good day--

You know Aimee, I think Bob getting my a trainer is one of the best investments we could of ever made. I do think getting in some cardio during the weight lifting is awesome, but lord my legs are so tired after its all over.

Thanks sweetie,
Joan

Cardio workout this morning.

Elliptical machine 35 minutes keeping it between 110-112 stides per minutes.

15 minutes on the bike keeping RPM's at 79. So all in all I feel great about my Cardio workout.

Hi Joan--You do so great!!!!

I hate Cardio!!! Today was my last weight lifting session with Angie till next month but she told me today that I need to up the cardio. YUCK!!! AT LEAST 45 minutes!!!!! So going to bike 30 and swim 30. That ought to do the trick don't you think?????

Hope you have a great day!

Cardio workout...one full hour....45 minutes on elliptical machine, keeping stirides between 110-112 per minute.

15 minutes on bike keeping RPM's about 70 the entire time.

I met a goal I set for myself and that was being able to do one full hour of Cardio, and today I did it. :D :D :D

wohooo Joan..I don't think I would last 45 min on a ET,,you are doing fantastic!!!

Congratulations on meeting your goal today Joan!!!!!

Way to go and Keep up the great job. Fantabulous there for sure!!!!

Dear Joan,

You are making great strides!! pun intended!! I was reading in Atkins for life book today that the old thought on cardio was to get at leas 1/2 hour per day..but now they are saying that we need 1 hour a day to get the benefits of lowering heart disease! You are right on track girl!!

I agree with what you put in my gym log about diet being at least 50 percent of the battle...I have a problem with cakes and and sweets. The longer I'm off of them the easier it is of course. I went to your fitday to see what you were eating..but didn't see anything logged for awhile...I guess with all that cardio you've been doing you don't have time eh??? :-) Keep up the good work!!!
Blessings,
Zippety
