EXERCISE: 11/01/11 (Starting the new program)

Started my new workout program tonight. 

WARMUP EXERCISES
  • Figure 4 Drops
  • Open Book Stretch
  • Bridges
  • Half-kneeling Cable Chops
  • Single Leg Lowering (against wall)
  • Squat Progression

SUPERSETS:
  • Smith Machine push ups  /  Modified Reverse Lunges
  • Cable Rows  /  Run stairs
  • Modified Kettlebell Deadlift  /  Single Leg Touch
  • Anti-Rotation Cable Press  /  Bench Squat
  • Tricep Pushdown (cable)*
This is technically not a superset; Charlene added this in because she said women always ask her for exercises for their arms to get rid of the "bat wings," LOL.

It look me about 50 minutes to get through it.  I was only able to do two supersets; after I was done, I could barely walk.  But I got through it and it felt good!!

I've been eating better, too.  I've been tracking calories on livestrong.com.  I'm  not trying to starve myself - I had pizza for dinner tonight - but it helps to see what I've been eating in black and white.  My biggest problem is carbs - I absolutely crave carbs all the time.  But I hope that as I add in more protein, fruits and veggies, I won't be as hungry for the carbs.  (She says, as she eats a bowl of cereal before bed.  Oh well...)
