So in order to incorporate strength training into my workout schedule, I told myself during REM sleep Friday night that I would take the toning class following my Saturday
I wasn't going to jump in head first and use the 8-10lbs. I planned to start out slow and light. Please hand me the 3-4lbs dumbbells. Thank you.
The sets were seamless and easy - nothing fancy, no sumo squats or cherry pickers or dead-lifting your neighbor and her weights. It all seemed like a normal strength class. Until....
Crazy move, enter stage right. We did a walking plank. WTF? Moving from walking plank to tricep push up on the bench. Who-da-hell?!??!? Let's just say, I did 1 set of walking planks and stretched for the kamikaze tricep push-ups. I still have grooves indented in my palms from the bench.
Note to self...remember to not only pack weight gloves, but wear them next time!
I was expecting my upper body to be sore, but alas, it is my hamstrings that are crying to be let loose. So folks, I will spend most of today (Monday) stretching and sucking down Aleeve and water.
Workout plan for Monday: Zumba! At least some butt shaking and gyrating will help.
What's your workout plan for today? How do you psych yourself up for your workouts? What's your favorite strength move?

Those walking planks are killer. They always have to throw in a challenge, don't they? Keep stretching and get a list rest.
