The DB plate switcheroo

Yesterday turning into mostly a day of rest since I had gotten to bed so late the night before.  Also, I felt like I needed one.  In the evening, hubby and I played with my parents' new xBox360 Kinect.  We actually did get our heart rate up for a while.  So, at least I wasn't totally sedentary :)

This morning was the next Phase 3 Show and Go workout.  Wonderful as usuall.  This is the workout with all the dumbbells, and since my standard dumbbells only go up to 25# and some of the exercises require more than that, I had to move the plates around a lot on my plate-loaded dumbbells.  It worked, though.  It made a built-in rest period that I might not have done otherwise.  I managed to arrange the plates for the close-grip DB bench press so that the DBs wouldn't slip and squish my fingers.  Much nicer.

It is soooo obvious from the supine bridges that I need to work on my left glute activation.  Ugggh.
