This morning I got back on the gym bus! FINALLY.
I hadn’t worked out since the day before I left for my
Europe trip which was May 20th. EHHHH so long right?
Even though I went over a month without working out, it’s
always better late then never.
I know however, tomorrow I will be so sore. (Will update as
to exactly how sore, see next post).
I thought I would start logging my workouts on my blog as
well as in my Fitbook.
I bought my Fitbook online off of Amazon.com and it’s
amazing. It’s a great way to log your food intake and workouts. It also has a spot
to fill out the servings of each food group you get and the amount of water you
drink so that is also very helpful.
Today we (my boyfriend and I) did a light cardio warm-up and
a light legs workout.
We started with 20 mins on the elliptical, this one
specifically (I find I burn more calories on this one and it’s much more of a
workout)
Then we went to the weight room to do legs:
Squats:
10xBar
10xBar
12xBar
Deadlift:
8xBar
8xBar
8xBar
Leg extension: (machine, no weight just controlled,
continuous, slow motion)
10
10
10
Before I left for Europe I was doing 3 to 4 sets of 12 on
squats and just about to add weight to the bar, and doing 2 sets of 12
deadlifts and the set 3 with 2.5s on each side. My boyfriend and I always do
the leg extensions with no weight; we do it for the controlled, slow,
continuous motion.
Today the deadlifts were really hard on my hands, if you’ve
lifted with the traditional bars, you’re aware they aren’t the most comfortable
thing to hold onto and they usually give you calluses. Since I hadn’t worked
out in so long those weren’t there anymore so it hurt my hands more than it
should.
I hope you enjoyed this post! I am not much of a dieter,
just a generally healthy eater, so I haven’t included my eating regimen but if
you would like me to I would be happy to add it to my workout posts!
Until next time.
xox,
