And She’s Back!
In the gym that is! Ever since I was put on the injured list, I haven’t really gone to the gym. I know, bad Dana. I did upper body exercises at home, but it wasn’t the same. Sooooooooo, this Wednesday I went to the gym with Max with the goal of a fabulous “no-impact” workout.
It was GREAT!!
First, we did some basic stretching and I made sure to do the runner stretch that the doctor told me to do. Then…here is where the fun began:
We did…….
10 squats with weights
10 dumbbell rows
10 push ups (on knees)
10 leg raises
10 crunches
FIVE TIMES WITHOUT STOPPING!!!!
On the fifth round, we did:
20 squats with weights
20 dumbbell rows but with alternating arms
10 push-ups (Max knows not to push it when it comes to me and push-ups LOL)
20 leg raises
20 crunches (I think…or maybe it was 10???)
THEN….
Sprints on the elliptical!
1:30 regular pace – :30 sprint – 1:30 regular pace – :30 sprint – 1:30 regular pace – :30 sprint – 1:30 regular pace – :30 sprint – 2:00 cool down
Stretch
Pass out (kidding). Although it was a bit trying to walk up the three flights of stairs to my office.
I felt GREAT GREAT GREAT after that workout…so excited to get back into the gym!!!
