Down to 8 reps

Last night we did manage to get some running in at the indoor training facility during DS's soccer practice.  I love running on the artificial turf.  Although, the ground underneath isn't quite as even as I'd think it would be.  More realistic, I guess!  My daughter ran a few laps with us.  We were not allowed to just walk, she kept wanting us to jog along with her.  I'm amazed at how good she can run with us.  She is 3 years old!  And on the small side for her age!

This morning, I got the 5th Fat Loss 2A workout it.  Whew!  Although the reps go down to 8 per set (yay!!) the rests also decrease to 30seconds (boo!).  I was jelly and it was hard to think straight at times!  Maybe that was just the way I was this morning, but if so the workout didn't make my head any clearer.

It took me about 38 minutes. I haven't been doing much of a warm up and I haven't been doing any metabolic work on lifting days.  I think 38 minutes is enough torture!  :)

Front squat - 1x8@30#ea, 1x(2@30#ea, 6@25#ea), 1x8@25#ea (used dumbbells because I thought someone was using the power cage...first I held the dbs on my shoulders, starting with 25# dbs, I switched to holding them at my sides)

Wide-grip cable seated row - 1x8@77#, 2x8@83#

Supine hip extension with single leg curl - 3x8 per leg

Barbell push press - 2x8@60#, 1x8@65#

Dynamic lunge - 3x8@60# (each leg)  (haha, I first typed "lunch" instead of "lunge"... did this workout make me hungry? Balance was difficult.)

Upper-body Russian twist - 1x8@15#, 2x8@20#
