DanicaX’s BodyBlog

I need to get these workouts typed out ‘fore I forget….they all sort of mesh together after a few days. I usually write in my journal in the sauna, but I have just been too damn sweaty to get anything onto that paper. I was thinking that I should come up with some sort of waterproof/sweatproof paper so the world can forever be rid of the worries that come along with jotting down in their journals while sitting in the sauna….That stuff will fly off the shelves! I’m sure of it!

Yesterday workout #1:
abs/cardio/a little legs

3 sets:
cable crunches X 50
leg lifts off bench X20

Spinning class 45 min

…It’s safe to say that I don’t “get in the zone” with Coldplay….or Dave Matthews!….come on! For spinning?…..We are not talking one or two songs….the whole class was like that…ughhhhhh. I resisted my ipod, which sat on the floor and stared at me the whole time.

Legs–high reps, but just a few exercises

Smith machine double leg press with varying leg positions X 120…I could barely stand up after that. My hams were cramping, so what did I do….?….

Single leg stiff leg deadlifts with one 8lb DB X 20 each side…..but I still had to abuse the hams more, so then…..

Prone leg curl X 65reps supersetted with
stability ball curls X 12…then the hams caught on fire and I had to jump in the pool!

Then I went back and did 100reps on the leg extension just to show those hams that I was an equal opportunity abuser!!

Yesterday Workout #2:
cardio/sauna

Xtrnr 20 min

Treadmill 12 min with 4 little circuits of the following:
-1min hike frontwards at 15%
-1min hike backwards at 15%
-1min walking lunges at 15%….for a total of 12min

Sauna 20min, but felt like an hour!
Planks in suana 3 sets of 1min/45sec/then like 30sec…b/c I was so exhausted

Today Workout: (hamstrings sore!)
interval training

Elliptical 10min

Treadmill 30 min, including interval training with gradual inclining hill sprints:

30-35 sec hill sprints, starting at 1% and then increasing by 1% grade each interval all the way up to 10% (walking in between for recovery) then walked the last 5 min at 15%

sauna 10min

I only got through those last two hill sprints thanks to my “go-to, please don’t let me die doing cardio today, kick a$$ song” courtesy of Disturbed…And those hills were just to torture my hamstrings more. I’ll leave them alone now for a few days I guess
