Move that body: 3.11-mile run (two walk breaks totaling 0.5 mile)
10-pound weights … arms … next day … ow.
Ow, ow, ow.
Yesterday, I decided to switch up my routine and just use the 10-pounders. It sounded good at the time. Then again, it was about 6:30 a.m. and I might nod my head to anything at 6:30 if I haven’t had any coffee.
I did eight reps of each exercise, going through all of them, before starting the second set – and I did three sets.
- Hammer curl with overhead press
- Tricep kickback
- Bentover Row
- Alternating lateral raise
- Wide-grip bicep curl
- Tricep extension
- Alternating front raise
- Bicep curl
- Wall push-up
It wasn’t too bad – at the time – with the exception of the lateral raise. I suck at those. Probably why I should keep doing ’em. After all, I have just 6.5 weeks to get in baby lifting shape!
If you’re wanna shake things up or looking for a little something different, you know, from people who know what they are talking about, here’s a workout I found at Women’s Health:
I think I might have to add that reverse fly to my circuit! (I also like their idea here – from a different workout – for a twist on the tricep kickback!)
What’s your fave upper body move?
Baby carrying will seem oh so easy compared to that routine - yoozers!
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I have missed Friday Love :(
Have a great holiday weekend!!!!
I love a good military press with a squat. Ever since I heard that having defined shoulders makes you look thinner I have really worked on my shoulders. I should work on my stomache cause that would also make me be thinner instead of just look it! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been very impressed with your working out while being preggo. I had my third baby 8 months ago and am just getting to my prepregnancy weight. You would think I would've learned from the first two but sadly I didn't!
Okay I have tried to leave this comment six times but for some reason blogger is not letting me leave my name with it. This is Jess from www.journeytothelandofskinny.blogspot.com
