ChaLEAN Day 4

Workout: ChaLEAN Burn It Off!
27 min.

Good workout. Nice and quick, with minimal equipment required. I finally got batteries for my HR monitor, but still haven't gotten them in the watch. So, the statistics weren't available.

But, I think I'll feel it tomorrow ... am actually already feeling it in my lower back!

Workout: Tennis
~1 hour

Had a good beginning to getting back into playing tennis today. Spent close to an hour playing a little tennis with a friend. My racket handle has degenerated, so will need to take care of that before the next game (probably Monday). I definitely felt rusty! But, it's been probably 4 years since I last played, so I guess that's to be expected.

Goals:
  1. Workout: ChaLEAN Burn Circuit 3
  2. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
  3. Drink 6 bottles of water.
  4. Take my vitamins.

ChaLEAN Day 3

Workout: ChaLEAN Burn Circuit 2
39 min.

Still haven't gotten a new battery for my HR monitor. Have it on my list, just haven't gotten to the store to get it.

Workout: ChaLEAN Burn Circuit 2
Sumo Squat w/ Bicep Curls: 15#/10
Lunge w/ One-Arm Tricep Extension: 10#/10
Dead-Lift Row: 15#/11
Sumo Squat w/ Overhead Tricep Ext.: 15#/11
Dead Lift w/ Double Row: 15#/6 (legs were shaking all over the place!!)
Bowler's Lunge w/ Single-Arm Row: 15#/10
Bicep Curls w/ Abductor Balance: 10#/10 (didn't use abductor band this week)
Forward-Lean Lunge w/ Double Row: 15#/12
Triple-Threat Push-Ups: 12 knees (my wrist was hurting before starting, so I didn't even attempt a single push-up on my toes ... next week I will)

Seemed like I chose the right weights for each of these. On the first one, I started out with 10 lbs., but on my second curl, I switched over to the 15 lb. weights. Had to work hard to push through on this workout, but I did it!

Goals:
  1. Workout: ChaLEAN Burn It Off! & Recharge
  2. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
  3. Drink 6 bottles of water.
  4. Take my vitamins.
