Strength Training - October 8th, 2008

Total time: 75 mins
HR monitor: 436 cals, Max: 153 (86%), Avg: 117 (66%)

So this is me for the next two weeks on two workouts a week. I’m going to try and do an hour of cardio tomorrow morning on the treadmill before school and then do the same on Saturday. Next Tuesday before my test I’ll likely hit the fitness center (although this upcoming test I’m more concerned about so I might study instead). Having said that, a break will probably be a good thing.

Today’s workout was good. I actually felt like I finally got a good rhythm with the dumbbell alternating press. I had planned on adding weight to it, but forgot! I was planning on trying 47.5 on the dumbbell snatch, but it just wasn’t going to happen. I struggled to do all four sets at the 45lb weight. So I’ll give it a shot on the next workout.

So I suppose I should make my lunch and then go back to my homework. I’m kind of slacking off a little today. Tomorrow if I do my cardio before school I know I’ll have 2 hours free in the afternoon to work on some stuff. :)
