Weights & Tabata Today was a gym day for me. I started with 20 minutes on the elliptical (but the treadmills were calling to me sadly). Then I hit the weights for biceps, back, triceps. I went with 3 sets of 8 reps unless noted then followed up the weights with a tabata session. TS#1 Barbell curls (with EZ bar) - 6 reps Pullovers Double-arm overhead triceps extensions TS#2 Hammer curls (increased weight) Wide-grip assisted chinups (struggled with these today) Weighted triceps dips (increased weights) TS#3 Incline curls (increased weight for half the reps of each set) Single-arm row Triceps pulldowns Tabata - 20 seconds each exercise with 10 seconds rest. Rest 1 minute between circuit. Repeated 3 times Plie jacks Speed skaters Kettlebell swints Tuck jumps Lateral hops Kettlebell figure 8's Um, yowzer on the HIIT/Tabata workout. I have sooooo lost any of my quick burst endurance. Let me run for 10 miles and I'm good. But short back-to-back bursts kic...
Finding my happy place in the day-to-day.
