1 mile of jogging for a warm up, then the weights:
- Chin ups: 2 sets of 3, 1 set of 2
- Barbell Split Squat: 3 sets of 8 at 65 pounds
- Cable squat to row: 3 sets of 10 at 50 pounds (LOVE!!)
- Arnold Press: 3 sets of 10 at 12# DBs
- 1-legged dumbbell deadlift: 3 sets of 10 with 15# DBs
- Bench Dips: 3 sets of 10
- Push ups: 3 sets of 10
- Trunk Twist: 3 sets of 10 with 10# plate
Then I hit the treadmill for a 2 mile run. Awesome start to my vacation!
