New Program

July 23, 2011.

Here's my newest program to the best of my memory. I'm waiting on Jodi to print me off the new sheet so it is easier to follow, but I'm hoping after tomorrow morning's run through I will remember what needs to be done without having to check my sheet each time. What I really like about it is that I do the entire program in one corner of the gym and don't have to wait for any machines and have very little set-up time inbetween. This means my heart rate stays high the entire time.

Cardio
Treadmill 11 min - 1 min @ 3.5mph and 1 min @ 5.0mph I will be increasing this by 2-4 minutes each day until I reach 20 min, then I will run 2 min sprints @5.0.
Swimming (now that I'm off for a few weeks I hope to swim laps after my gym workout)

Legs
Lunge - back leg is up on a step 2/15 per leg
Squat - while standing on a BOSU 2/15
Lateral Squat - right foot on BOSU, step on with left, down on ground with right to your right, squat. Repeat moving to the left 2/14
Hamstring Pulls - lie on back on a mat, place medium-size ball under feet, raise hips of floor, pull feet in towards butt rolling the ball in then back out 2/15

Arms
Fly Curls - lie on back on large ball and then walk out until it is under your shoulders, lift hips, contract abs, squeeze butt so it looks like you are lying on a flat bench, fly curl as normal 2/15 @ 15lbs
