Saturday Morning Workoug

Last nite I spent a bunch of time on YouTube looking up new workout methods- plyometrics and ball training, so I decided to give it a whirl. I only had an hour, so this is what I did

* 5 minute warmup on the ellipitcal trainer
* 3x10 dumbell curls 22.5, 30 and 40 lbs. I was surprised that I could do 40lbs, given my soreness and weakness.

Plyometric Cycling

* In between the curl sets, I did plyometrics on the bench where I jumped on the bench and jumped off 10 times each way, then I did 4-6 jumps over the bench in succession. This was pretty cool. I got tired, but I was surprised at the spring I had given the relative sorness.

*In between plyos, I did the nordic hamstring curls on the leg curl bench. My knees were sweaty but I was able to do the exercise. I really felt the pull in my glutes and upper hams.

^I finished the curl routine with barbell curls of 40-50 and 60 lbs.

* Shoulder press 20, 50 and 70 lbs. This hurt given the soreness of my triceps, but I got through it.

* I ended the routine on the ball where I stretched for 5 minutes and did the plank for 30 seconds. 3 times and hamstring pulls on the ball 3 sets of 12, 14 and 10.

I wanted to throw up after the planks. I want to get up to 45 seconds next week and take this to 1 minute at the end of the month and 2 minutes in 3 months.

After the workout, I drank a muscle milk and 20 oz of water.

All in all, I felt that I got a lot in and I really like cycling in plyos with weight training.
