Another workout report
Copy-pasting my workout report for today. I'm gonna keep doing this every weekday I work out to keep myself motivated, and to keep track of my progress.
---------------------------------
Updating again with today's workout. 30 min cardio warm-up as usual. I did some researching and reading this morning on bodyweight conditioning, and was greatly intrigued by planches.
So today after my warm-up I did some lifting to warm up my body, while standing on a bosu ball (some guy on one).
3x8, dumbbell bicep curls, 20lb each arm
3x8 dumb lateral raise, 10lb each arm (15 was too much and couldnt find a pair of 12.5)
3x8 overhead tricep 2@10, 1@15
After that, I spent time practicing handstands against the wall. I basically just went up, had my feet against the wall to keep me from going over, and just practiced having all my weight on my arms. I did this until I would lose my balance, until I had a total of 1 minute in handstand position (I averaged about 5-10sec per handstand =\)
After that, I decided to start trying that planche thing. So I started with the Frog Stand as detailed over at http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/229/.
Man, being a weakling this was tough. My upper body and wrists are so weak right now. I did about 5sec at a time until I got my whole minute in though.
Afterwards, did my 1-2-3 crunches (the ones I mentioned in the previous post) and then stretched.
All in all felt like a good work-out, by arms are a little sore, as are my wrists. I'm taking a break from the gym for this weekend, gonna just be doing walking to get in my cardio for the day.
