Workout details
Last night I had my sixth personal trainer session at the gym. I did a bunch of work in the studio after warming up on the elliptical before the session. After some one-off exercises like doing squats and steps across the studio and side-shuffles in squat position I did three rounds of a special exercise set.
The set:
First I did step-ups with a weighted bar and arm extensions, core-twists with a medicine ball, squats with the medicine ball and arm extensions, plank position for 40 seconds, crunches with my legs up and crossed, chest presses on my back with 10 pound barbells, back lifts with my feet against the wall and my belly on a stability ball, and row lifts with the 10 pound barbells with my belly on the stability ball. There were 10-25 repititions of each of those exercises in a full set three times!
I am planning on going to weigh-in tonight on my way home/to the gym and the trainer gave me a plan of what I should be doing for this week's workout to keep up with the intensity and extend the number of minutes. Next week I'll work on upping the intensity/ resistance on the machines.
I can actually feel muscles in my legs now... it's hard under the flab on my thighs!
