Monday: OMG a real workout?!

I made it to the gym this morning and felt great. Did just enough to challenge myself without over doing it. 5 minutes of stretching - everything was sooooo tight 20 minutes eliptical 120 - 150 HR Ball Squats with 10 lbs weights - arms straight out 3 X 15 (HR recovery just skyrocketed on this to 160 and recovery back to 120 seem to take so long - so out of shape!!) Free Motion Chest Press while sitting on the ball 1 X 25, 1 X 20, 1 X 12 - Not sure what weight Dana had on but he started light and increased each set. Was hard to figure out where I was at. Regular Bench Chest Press - 3 X 15 - Just the 40lbs Bar!! Deadlifts - stradle 40lbs bar + 27 1/2 lb plates lifting one end/one on the ground 3 X 15 New type of dumbell shoulder press (just 5lbs dumbells was enough - I was doing 20 - 25's before surgery.. lol!!) with more range of motion 3 X 15 Boxing - Dana had on target gloves - did a few rounds with him. Total workout was an hour and I burned about 550 calories which is a great workout. I felt like such a noob all over again! It was a lot of fun to be back in the gym.

Wow, good job!!! Nothing for me, I am in the arm pit known as Fresno, as I write this it is 98 degrees, going into the 100's tomorrow, I am staying in except for a glass of wine and dinner (and an iced latte after it cools down)

That sounds like the perfect plan!!!MMMM iced latte. I hear Fresno is a great place though to buy a house cheap if you don't mind the commute.

Commute to hell?

Great Job Stacy! Ok, what the he11 is a "noob"?? Is that computer lingo for "newbie" I get it!! Well duh blonde on board!

Yep - N00b - Newbie = same thing =) I made it again today too!! Whoo hoo 2 - days in a row. 30 min of full body arc trainer cardio and then some ab work.. we are talking really short and sweet ab work. My abs feel pretty funky still. It's as if I lost all that flexibility. I could hardly do a backbend over the PT ball. I could only touch the floor with my finger tips. No way I was going to raise my body off it.

You go girl! It's just the beginning for ya! You are gonna start and not want to stop at all! Way to go! Tammy
