 0n 8/6 I performed my first run through with my new Trainer designed weights routine. It is designed to be 30-45 minutes higher reps with moderate weight. it went well although I have some issues of form to work out.  the routine includes

*Planks* Pushups* Seated Cable Rows* Straight Bar Tricep Pulldowns* Swiss Ball Leg Press* Machine Leg Press* Dumbell Chest Press* Dumbell Bicep Curl * Modified Deadlift*Dumbell Shoulder Press. 

This routine has two sets of each exercise in it. look at my workout tracker for more details .  Contact me with any critique, encouragement, and questions      

Today  was my first day back in the gym after about a month. I started with my cardio routine designed by my trainer . HIT training  which went about 30 minutes . 5 minutes warm up walk  and 5 segments of 5 minutes each . Each segment was 3 minutes all out run with two minutes brisk walk and repeat.  I started with a 2.0 MPH setting and 2.0 incline for the warm up . the 3 minute runs was at 3.0 MPH and 3,0 incline . the 2 minute intervals were at 2.5 MPH and 2.5 elevation. at the end of the HITs I hit the suana for 10 minutes  it was good and it was awesome!   

I was psyched to know that i had finally gone from dreaming to doing, from preping to pumping. The high I had after cardio was amazing. BTW  I lost 5 pounds in the last month just from eating right and clean and dropping the sodas munchies etc . so my weight dropped from 179.6 to 174.6! all this BEFORE I started this new plan! It was an awesome first day. Tomorrow I do my first weights day on that new plan.  Thanks bb24 for being my trainer!
