Day 6
Well, maybe not technically -- I was sidelined with the back thing -- but I will be honest, and count my beginning from April 1st!
Pardon my slang, but this weekend sucked out the wazzoo. See my Journal for a detailed description. But it is AMAZING how 40 minutes spent huffing and puffing with weights can make you feel better!! Must be the endorphins!!!
Anyway, I have digested all the wonderful advice and suggestions, and changed my workout plan. For the remainder of the Challenge, this is my workout goal:
UBWO, Su-Tu-Th.
LBWO, Mo-We-Fr.
Walking, 30 minutes each day Su-Fr.
Saturday is a freebie & a day of rest!
I just did my UBWO, which consists of the following (all weights are free weights (dumbbells), and the weight given is the total for all weights used):
<U>Chest</U>
Flat Press - 3 sets of 10, 4lb
Flye - 3 sets of 10, 4lb
Cross-Bench Pullover, 3 sets of 10, 4lb
<U>Shoulders</U>
Side Lateral Raise, 3 sets of 10, 4lb
Front Lateral Raise, 3 sets of 10, 4lb
Alternate Shoulder Press, 3 sets of 10, 4lb
Bent Lateral Raise, 2 sets of 10, 4lb

And yes, in case you're wondering, <B>I do feel it!!!</B> Not the case when I use the machine. And so far, the back feels fine. I "listened" to it, and modified when it seemed to be under strain.
Tomorrow night: LBWO!
