2.21.08 DOMS!
I’m soooo sore! I must have done something right this week because I can hardly move. Last night I had my free orientation with a personal trainer he was very nice and informative. According to his scale I have lost another pound, but this morning it was back. Should be gone Saturday. He was either a little impressed or annoyed with my knowledge on this subject. He didn’t really have too much to say because I am already pretty much doing what I need to. He did however show me some of my weaknesses which was good. I did the hand over head squat assesment. Apparently my hips are really tight and my abs are very weak.(which I really realized when I tried the roman chair) This is pretty much dead on. I was having trouble with my IT band a few months ago and though I’ve loosened it up a little I haven’t done everything I need to do and my hips are all tied into that. So he showed me 4 moves I can do to help stretch and strengthen that area, so that was really cool. Also I fould out my body fat %, (long pause) 28.5% eek. But hey I thought it might be 30% so I was happy to see 28.5%. So my goal is to get that down to 25% and then 20%. He said at the rate I’m going it will be a month or two and that my overall goal of losing 15lbs will take about 10 weeks. So here’s how my workout went yesterday, I’ll try and remember everything:
I started with a 5 min warmup on the treadmill (yes the treadmill, one was actually open) so in a panic I decided that while I was on there I’d go ahead and do my cardio. Once again remembering why I do cardio after weights, oh well. So it was 30 min of intervals. Oh yeah, also in that panic I forgot to stretch before I started running. I must have been manic yesterday or something, my anxiety was high for some odd reason. (I don’t have anxiety problems)
lat pulldown 1×12x20 1×12x40 1×12x30
row pulldown 3×12x25
cable tri ext. 1×12x20 2×12x30
tri ext machine 3×12x20
row 3×12x30
I didn’t do everything I had planned on, one because I was tired and two because the cable machines were intimidating me or someone was using what I wanted and I didn’t want to wait. I was just super tired last night. I’m glad I’m off until Monday. I hope I’m not too sore for my run tomorrow.
Oh and I didn’t run this morning, I’m too exhausted and sore. So I slept in a little. I’m chuggin’ the water today to help with the soreness.
