Today's Workout

I think I'll call this the Take That Mother Nature workout. Yep, it's that time of month. Feeling tired, crampy, and so not in the mood for doing much. However, I'm not going to let it get me down. I've been doing too good to let a little thing like Auntie Flow get in my way. So here's the plan for today, I've even linked to some YouTube videos for you so you know what to do:

Standing shoulder press w/ band, both arms; 3 sets of 12

Standing side raises w/ band, alternating arms; 3 sets of 8

Standing front raise w/ band, both arms; 3 sets of 8

Standing barbell (or dumbbell) military press; 4 sets of 10

Standing dumbbell side raises, both arms; 4 sets of 10

Standing close grip low row w/band; 3 sets of 10

On ball band lat pulldown; 3 sets of 10

Prone cobra; 3 sets of 10

Prone iso abs (planks) on knees; 3 sets of 30

Just a note, some of the videos aren't the exact exercise. I chose some to represent the exercise as close as I could.

I'm doing The Biggest Loser Cardio Max workout for cardio today.

Bent over dumbbell rows; 3 sets of 12

Pull ups (okay I'm going to attempt these, I've not been able to yet); 3 sets to failure

Dumbbell laterals (side raises); 3 sets of 10

Dumbbell shoulder press; 3 sets of 8

Band should press; 2 sets of 10

Tricep pushdown w/ band; 3 sets of 8

Bench( or chair) dips w/ feet elevated; 3 sets of 10

Barbell(or dumbbell) curls; 3 sets of 8

Preacher curls on ball; 2 sets of 10 and 1 set to failure

Also for the challenges I'm currently doing there is 25 crunches and still attempting to do at least one chin up. So that's it for today. Easy, right? My first race in many years is coming in 32 days. I'm going to be in good shape by then, I hope. I also have a 15 year high school reunion coming in 6-7 weeks. I want to look great for that and I will as long as I keep going strong.
