My half training plan calls for weights on Monday, but I really enjoy taking two full days off a week, it just works for me. So maybe I should just permanently move weights from Monday to Tuesday? Regardless I managed to do an actual, real weights workout today. I am still suffering from lack-of-trainer, low-motivation syndrome you see.
This was another circuit that can be done inside 60 minutes, including changing, a quickie warmup, quick stretching and a shower. Granted my gym is in the building. I did some core after my run this morning, so I skipped that and just did a set of bicycles after my workout. Otherwise this is what I did, twice. For a warm-up I did 5 minutes on the upright bike.
- Wall Squat 60 seconds
- Push-ups with feet on stability ball – 15
- Hamstring push-ups on stability ball. Put your feet on a ball, knees bent at 90 degrees and bum on the floor. Arch up until body is flat and straight all the way to your feet, if advanced remove one foot off the ball and hold for one second. Do 20 total, switching legs in between each.
- Jumping Squats on Bosu. Do 10.
- Pull-ups. Do 10.
- Tricep dips. Do 10.
- Twisting Lunges. Holding a medicine ball in front of you with arms extended lunge forward, rotate towards lead leg and turn entire body. Rotate back and push off extended leg back to standing. Switch legs. Do 10 each leg, 20 total.
- Squat to Row on Bosu using cables. 10
- Squats to Shoulder raises on Balance Board
- 1 minute water break
Tempo tomorrow! I am thinking about getting off the dreadmill and trying to figure out how to program my garmin!
way to get the lifting in! i feel you on low motivation syndrome too
