Normally I put my workouts on Twitter, but this one was kind of long so I figured I’d do it here.
- 10 mins treadmill on interval mode, at 3.6mph
- 2 sets of one minute bicep curls with 8lb weights
- 2 sets of one minute tricep kickbacks with 8lb weights

- 2 sets of one minute lateral raises with 5lb weights
- 10 mins stationary bike on interval mode
- 1 set of one minute bicep curls with 8lb weights
- 1 set of one minute tricep kickbacks with 8lb weights
- 1 set of one minute dumbbell rows with 5lb weights
- 1 set of one minute lateral raises with 5lb weights
- 3 sets leg presses with 130lb weight
- 3 sets back extensions on machine (not sure what weight)
- 10 mins AMT on interval mode (9 and 5)
- 3 sets lat pulldowns on machine (not sure what weight)
- 30 seconds of attempting to push up into tent position with legs on an exercise ball and hands on the floor
- 3 sets of lying on my back tossing and catching a medicine ball
- 60/50/50 crunches
- 60/50/50 obliques
- 25/25/25 back raises on floor
- 25/25/25 knee pushups
- 10 mins walk/jog on treadmill
I felt really good during this workout. In fact, I hit some crazy high while on the AMT and later on the treadmill. The first time I was so ecstatic I wanted to scream as loudly as I could, to let the universe know how awesome I was. The second time I not only wanted to scream, but I also had goosebumps!
After I finished running through that ridiculous routine, I showered off and got in the outdoor pool for a few minutes. They cleared the pool not long after I got in, so I got in the hot tub for a bit…and then I finally came home :)
This is the first time I’ve gone to the gym on Saturday. It was a great experience overall. There were times that I got kind of bored, but that euphoric feeling, and the wonderful feeling of accomplishment, make it worth it.
I used to get the best "runner's high" when I was speed walking on a daily basis! LOVED that feeling. Sounds like a great workout, I think I'm gonna have to steal your format, and start using it when I go to the gym, too. :)
Bear in mind that all of this took awhile! Normally I just do the stuff I post to Twitter, which takes about an hour and a half. I wasn't paying attention to the time today so I'm not actually sure how long I was at the gym.
I certainly won't mind spending an hour or more in the gym. :)
Besides, the only other thing I MUST do is sit out on deckzilla. ;)
