doesn't sound too bad

I did chest and shoulder day today. Went fairly heavy but did no cardio at all. I'm going to go light tomorrow since I start Mon. I don't want to go in tired or sore.

[crader]

Wow! Today was intense, I barely made it through and then I was sick for a good 20 min after.

She had me do leg day, backward runs dragging her across the floor with resistance bands.

All machine work was done at 15 reps for 4 sets.

One legged deadlifts 15 times per leg for 4 sets

Squats at bodyweight plus 24lbs 4 sets of 20.

Weighted walking lunges across the floor.

Jumping Jack squats 10 x 4 sets.

6 sets of 30 for calves.

There were a few other things but by then I was so sick...
It totally blew my blood pressure, I had ear popping and dizziness, serious nausea. I told her I thought I was going to be sick...her response, swallow it and keep going She said she lost one girl in an earlier class to puking. I can see how. I wanted to die! But I made it!!! Barely..

Tomorrow is shoulder day, hope I make it.

I tried a Reloaded and Vasoxplode before I went. I think for a bit I'll nix pre -workout supps. Might have had a little to do with the puking thing.

LOL Yeah tell me about it, I figured well hey, I've been lifting for 2 years and could take them. LOL Wow was I ever wrong. I actually still think I would have been sick. I'm just now 2 hours later starting to feel better. Kept my protein shake down. Blood pressure still feels off though.

If I can keep going and handle the not so subtle encouragement then she will have me in great shape..All in all I like her, Arnold here I come!

Did you enjoy the plyometrics ?

I would not say enjoy is the right word. However it made you really push yourself to make it to the end. You had to pull deep from within to keep going. And balance, well it really focused on balance and cardio. The pace and plyo was like 45 min of intense forced cardio. She told me cardio would not even be needed. Lets put it this way I left in gym clothes, did not even care if i changed, barely made it down the curb my muscles gave out. She also had me do the plyo stuff with weighted dumbells.

thats the nice part of it, it gets strength training in, at aerobic cardio heart rates. i'm going to start doing some again in march I think

You're on you're way christine, stay positive and think of all the great results in the end! Kick those shoulders azz tomorrow!

[crader]

If I can still walk to the gym I will give it a solid go!

[crader]

Ok Well shoulders were definitly hard. We did 4 sets of no less than 15 reps of everything. My shoulders were screaming at me!! But I made it!!!! 2 days down, only 4 1/2 more weeks to go.

Now tomorrow is chest day and guess what, leg shaping! She laughed at me because I can barely walk. Said after a brutal workout on Wed she does the leg thing again to help with pain and stiffness. Hopefully I will be able to put my shoes on tomorrow
