Tuesday was Chinese buffet – today was an exercise buffet!
The start of my weekend (other than 2 hours of mandatory overtime to be done whenever), so I was not in any hurry to get back from the Y. So I sampled a bit of everything!
15 minutes of swimming (appry 400 yards).
15 minutes of jogging.
Weights:
Barbell squats: 1 x 15 55 pounds, 1 x 15 65 pounds and 1 set of 10 at 75 pounds.
I am going to start at 75 pounds next week and work up from there. I am going to squat over 100 pounds by 2 months, that is my goal.
Push ups: 2 x 15
Seated lat row: 1 x 15 40 pounds, 1 x 15 45 pounds
Step ups: 2 x 15 with 20 pound dumbbells (these get my heart rate up!)
Stability ball jackknifes: 2 x 15. I fell off the ball once, I hope no one saw it LOL!
Then I rode the stationary bike for 35 minutes. I would not really recommend my exercise program to other people, as I am training for a tri, but I have to say that I really enjoy this fitness stuff!
Now that’a a buffet you can feel good about! Wow!
So you’re training for a tri? That’s so awesome. Do you ahve to provide your own bike for those? I’ve priced some of the tri bikes. Ouch! I think it was something like $5K.
I have a bike already that I am going to use. Not buying anything fancy. It’s just a sprint distance triathlon, and I am not getting all fancied up for it LOL. I just want to finish.
Great job getting a “buffet” of exercise in. Especially when you are training for a triathlon. I am doing a triathlon in a month and haven’t done much swimming or biking.
Exercise buffet…LOVE it! I might steal that some day 🙂 It’s so much more fun than “cross training.” How industrial is that? Reading your blog today gives me encouragment to do the cardio and weights today. I was thinking…maybe…hmmm…I’d take the day off, but nope. I’m gonna partake of the buffet. Thanks, Lori!
That is the kind of buffet we all need!!!! Way to go!
this is so not my kind of buffet. lol! wtg though!!
