I think I need to up some of my weights so I may do that next week. Also may want to avoid doing back work and legs the next day! I'm also doing squats with free weights and i'm not sure how much that dang bar weighs so this may need to be adjusted.


Thur:
Body Flow
Some kind of cardio for 30 minutes: Bike, Run or Elliptical
After a not so restful night of sleep and a very late night for the hubs and after dropping a bowl of oatmeal just to have the shatter proof glass shatter beyond recognition, I was just a little too late to barge into the middle of a body flow class, so I skipped! AND went out for an amazingly delicious and not so nutritious brunch. I'm off to a slow start for this 6 week training session! Oh well...i made up for it on my 4 mile run pushing the lil surfer girls. WOW...haven't done that in a while and it's pretty tough! We had fun though and I got in about an hour of cardio...although not nearly enough to burn off that meal!

It was a launch at the gym today. It's when they have a new release for the les mills classes and do ALL of them back to back! I did about 45 of Body Combat before doing Body Flow!
