Tuesday - Muscle Endurance

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I did Cathe's Muscle Endurance again and upped my

weights for some of the exercises. Definately felt

good. I did go heavier on leg presses, but I can also

see the benefit to going lighter and really

concentrating and focusing on form - so I'll mix and

match with heavier and lighter weights in the future.

Here's how it went:

Leg Press 15 lb (up from last week, I used at 10)

Squats 28 lb bar (up from 2 10's last week)

Deadlift - 23 lb bar (I probably could do 28, but I'm

afraid for my back)

Row - 15 lb dummies

Dead Row = 23 lb bar

Bicep Curl - 18 lb bar, dropped to 2 5's when arms

became numb. I have a real hard time with endurance

work for biceps

Leg Press - 15 lb

Lunge -23 lb bar

Chest - 10 lb dummies

Push-ups - on Toest

Tricep kickbacks - 5's

French Press - 10

Leg Press - 2 10's (20 lbs)

Rotation Press - 8's (I used what Cathe used, but I

think I can do more)

Front/Side Raise - 5's (up from 3's)

Rear Delt - 5's

Lat Raise - 5's

Did the ab work, but didn't enjoy it. I just really

don't like crunches at all! I realy prefer

Pilates/stability ball/standing/functional ab work. I

do find this ab routine challenging, I just don't like

it!

I stretched out with Perfect in 10 Pilates - Freedom

and Flexibility section.

I think my next fitness purchase is going to be

heavier weights. I definately need them and I will

definately need them for the heavier lifting cycles in

this rotation. My current weights seem okay for the

endurance stuff, but I know I'll have to bump it up

for the strength building stuff. I definately want

some 20's and 25's. I think Walmart had them for a

decent price, may check Kmart this weekend, though. I

wish we still had at play it again sports b/c that is

where i got all my other weights!

Not sure what is up for tomorrow - probably cardio -

and probably kickboxing, I should try Amy's In the

Ring workout.

Take care everyone!

Donna

Yup, this one has 3 series of step ups with 2 sets per

'series'. I still think there are fewer step ups in

this one than in the Firm's Tough Tape with Tracie

Long, though!
