Where's the Beach?

Eked Out Morning Workouts This morning I had my alarm set for a little after 5. I slept fairly well, only waking up twice, but the second time (around 4) I started to rethink getting up for a morning workout. I knew that I could easily fall back asleep for another two hours if I let myself. I think that it's also getting harder to get up early since it's starting to stay dark so much longer. I probably should have slept in, but ended up dragging myself out of the bed for weights and cardio. I did 3 supersets for shoulders and triceps (odd combination) for 3 sets of 8 reps then finished off with 2 exercises done to failure (just for funzies). SS#1 Shoulder press Overhead triceps extension SS#2 Lateral raise Double-arm kickbacks SS#3 Upright rows Lying triceps extensions (on stability ball) Front/Side raise - 10 reps Weighted triceps dips - 16 reps (probably could have hit 18) I was feeling a bit weak again today. Of course, lifting in the morning always seems...

Thursday Workout Came Early So I managed another four-day morning workout week. This morning I did the warm-up from Shock Cardio HiiT Pyramid , then ran upstairs to do weights, then back down to finish HiiT Pyramid , which I did twice through, then stretched. My weights were 2 sets of 12 reps, supersetting the following exercises: SS#1 Shoulders - DB Upright Rows Quads - Step ups (12" step) SS#2 Chest - Decline DB Press Back - Underhand DB Rows SS#3 Triceps - Overhead Triceps Extension Calves - DB Calf Raises It was easy enough to do the warm-up from HiiT Pyramid then do weights because there is no equipment (Step) needed for this workout. I don't have a weight bench yet, so I have to use my step as the bench. I have incline risers for it as well. The problem this creates is that if I do a workout that requires a step, I have to have the step downstairs (where I have enough space for cardio) then move it up to do weights, then back down for cardio. Oh so complicated. I do ...
