Bye Bye to "Fat Tuesday"
While much of creation crams their last bit of indulgence into this day known as "Fat Tuesday", I chose to do things a little differently. I decided that Fat Tuesday would be an extra hard workout day to protest the day! I did a circuit work out consisting of 8 exercises today---3 sets of 20 in each exercise. First, I did upper body circuit consisting of shoulder presses, seated rows, biceps curls, bench press, and triceps extensions. I did each exercise 3 sets/20 reps with no rest between each station. After finishing a set of shoulder presses, I moved to the seated rows, and then to curs, etc. Doing this rotation 3 times with no rest between proved to be pretty exciting. I found myself wanting to push harder as the rotations continued. Then, I took five minutes to set up a 3 station circuit for my legs. I did leg presses, quad extensions, and hamstring curls. Again, same pattern. No rest between. The extensions and curls can be done on the same machine with at most a 5 second change in position. So, still no rest between sets. 3 sets of 20 reps each and I felt really good! I could tell I had worked, but can also tell me trips to the gym are paying off. It was a great workout today and I can't wait until tomorrow morning to hit the gym again and then hit aerobics class for the first time tomorrow at 2! Please keep praying for me! I am eating healthy and maintaining a good energy level. Now that I fell the difference, I am excited every day to get up and hit the workout running. Have a blessed day and thanks for the support!
