I messed up the work out my trainer had planned for me today because while yesterday was cardio day, after I ran 3 miles I hadn’t broken a sweat or felt my breathing change in anyway. I interpret this into “so … I barely worked out” and went and did forward lunges, pull ups and ab work to “make it count”. Meanwhile today my trainer says “If you know what time you’re strength training with me, don’t do any strength training within a 24 hour period of that.” In other words “you’re stupid and now I have to replace the pull ups I WAS going to have you do with something else.”

So today I did:
- 10 minutes running the stairs
- 1 set of 20 forward lunges right into backward lunges (1 set for each leg)
- 1 set of 12 squats holding 10 pound weights in each hand
- 1 more set of 20 forward lunges into backward lunges (1 set for each leg)
- 1 more set of 12 squats holding 10 pound weights in each hand
- 1 set of 12 reverse rows
- 1 set of 12 single leg deadlifts (1 set for each leg)
- 1 more set of 12 reverse rows
- 1 more set of 12 single leg deadlifts (1 set for each leg)
- 1 set of 20 alternating biceps curls: wrist out when you come up, wrist in when you come down. Elbows always close to the body.
- 1 set of 12 tricep kick backs.

Then some ab work which I have to describe out instead of listing.

- First exercise:
Lay on a bench with your head at the end and your hands gripping the edge of the bench next to your head. Bring your legs up so you’re at a 90 angle at the hips and your legs are bent. Then I did crunches up and sloooowly brought my body down one vertebrae at a time, then brought my legs allllll the way down until my feet tapped the bench and started all over again. I did 12 of these.

- Second exercise was a bitch:
Still on the bench, lay in an L shape with your hands still gripping the bench by your head. Lift your hips so that your toes go STRAIGHT UP. You can not use momentum to kick them forward or backward. They must go straight up. This exercise SUCKS. SUCKS. SUCKS. SUCKS. Do 10 of those.

- Third exercise:
Still on the bench do 20 slow, controlled bicycles.

Then I did another set of 20 alternating bicep curls. Followed by another set of tricep kickbacks. And finished with another set of all three of those god damn ab exercises.

I’m tired. So tired that when I got back to my desk I apparently couldn’t control my limbs and spilled a cup of coffee from this morning all over my laptop. Thank god for iSkin keyboard covers. My MacBook Pro is alive and well.
