Ave Training Week 2, Day 2: Intervals

Today was one of those days where you just want to procrastinate. I think I had good reason though, it was foggy and cold most of the morning, and I knew that if I went out too early, I'd just be cranky afterwards. Once the temp got around 46, it was obvious it wouldn't get much warmer. I was complaining on Twitter about the cold, but was getting no sympathy. So I did my intervals.






13 minute warmup
6 x (1 min fast, 2 min easy)
13 minute cooldown

Intervals
1: 7:35/mi
2: 7:31/mi
3: 7:36/mi
4: 7:53/mi
5: 8:02/mi
6: 8:22/mi

4.4 miles total, 44:50, 458 calories burned

Tonight after the men's group, I had a good discussion with a few other guys about health & weight loss. I'm not entirely sure if it will turn into something in the future, but both expressed interest in creating an informal support group. We'll see how that goes.

Tomorrow it's back in the gym.

Ave Training Week 2, Day 1: Resistance

I seem to have lost a blog follower. *snif* Oh well. :)

I wish I could say I relate to everyone, but there really haven't been all that many resolutioners, at least at the time I go to the gym. Today I did see some of the trainers that I haven't been seeing, each with a person, but that only added six people total (3 new people and the trainers). There were also a few regulars.

The Monday workout went well, and my limbs seem to have stopped screaming at me. I should have eaten before going to the gym though, I was feeling a little lightheaded during the 95lb squats.

Warmup, 3 circuits, 5 reps each w/barbell
Barbell Overhead Squat
Barbell Squat
Good Mornings
Barbell Alternating Lunge
Deadlift
Romanian Deadlift

Workout
Barbell Bench Press, 3x25x55lbs
Seated Cable Rows, 3x25x95lbs
Squats, 3x25x75lbs
Dumbbell Military Press, 3x25x(2x10lbs)

42 minutes, 311 calories burned

Tomorrow will be outside running: intervals.
