Strickly Strength

Began yesterday with a 20 minute bike ride and then prepared for class at 6:15am

Yesterday's workout incorporated 10 exercises of 10 reps each. However, by the time you were done with the workout you completed 100 reps of the first exercise 90 of the second 80 of their third and you can figure out the rest to 10 reps completed the last exercise. In previous workouts I've started with push ups but yesterday we started with squats.

Here is yesterday's workout. Remember each exercise is 10 reps each.

1. Squats
2. Squats, Lunges

Add weights for the remaining sets. You can alternate between heavy & light weights depending on the exercise and your abilities. Remember, each is only 10 reps so you can challenge yourself a little bit more on the amount of weight you use as long as you use proper form.

3. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts
4. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Calves
5. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Calves, Upright Rows
6. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Calves, Upright Rows, Bent Over Rows
7. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Calves, Upright Rows, Bent Over Rows, Bicep Curls
8. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Calves, Upright Rows, Bent Over Rows, Bicep Curls, Overhead Tricep Press
9. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Calves, Upright Rows, Bent Over Rows, Bicep Curls, Overhead Tricep Press, Push Ups
10. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Calves, Upright Rows, Bent Over Rows, Bicep Curls, Overhead Press, Push Ups, Ab Crunches

After the workout I managed to get in another afternoon bike ride and then did the last half hour of the Gauntlet later in the evening which was an awesome workout. Ken did the first half of the training.

During the day I enjoyed my favorite oatmeal protein pancake. Ken was nice enough to make one for me when he went home during the day and brought it back for me. It was delicious topped with lowfat vanilla yogurt!
