Today's Workouts

No lunchtime workout today. No, I wasn't going to let s**t hit the fan for a second time today. It was all after work, in my new gym.

Oh yeah, here's my new gym. Stare at it, if you like.



Warmup, 3 circuits, 30 seconds per exercise
Jumping Jacks
Split Jacks
Squats
Split Squats
Mountain Climbers

Workout
Deadlifts, Sets: 7,5,3x115lbs
Swiss Ball Hip Extension and Leg Curl, Sets: 8,6,4x115lbs
Close-grip Bench Press, Sets: 7x95lbs,5x115lbs,3x125lbs
Hammer Curl, 8x(2x25lbs),6x(2x30lbs),4x(2x35lbs)

32:40, 207 calories burned

Then 20 minutes on the spin bike with the Sufferfest, "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". Too bad I couldn't do the whole workout, but the child care was closing. What can you do? 167 calories burned, the HRM was malfunctioning so that's an estimate.

Total burned: 393
Calories in: 1497
