    Take three

    So here is a 3rd installment of my workout journal. I have problems keeping with the gym thing, and my mom has never been to the gym in her life, so now she and I go together and workout with trainers 2x a week. This journal will keep track of my workouts only (hers is different and a lot lighter), and my other physical exercises. Because of time conflicts I have to quit bellydancing for a few months, but I’m still riding horses and doing tae kwon do

    Tuesday (2/14)
    Warm-up
    Deadlift 10x3 14lbs
    Hyper 10x4
    Bench press 10x4 45lbs
    Row 10x4 60lbs
    Pull over 10x3 15lbs
    Sit ups 15x3
    Somewhere in there were 2x10min various intensity stationary bike/treadmill sessions

    Wed (2/15)
    Rode 1 horse for 20minutes (walk/trot/canter)
    Didn’t go to TKD because of a migraine

    Tomorrow gym

    good question, I just tried it for the first time that day, and I forgot to ask my trainer what it was. I will ask next time I go to the gym.

    Friday:
    TKD sparring 1.5hrs. I love sparring because it's fun, but I'm always dissapointed since the boys always take it easy on me. On the other hand though it boosts my confidence "feeling" like i'm getting better. oh and I didn't get too many bruises either.

    Saturday:
    I went to police practice ability test, and it made me realize how weak I really am. I had a really hard time dragging a 140lbs dummy and pulling the trigger with my left hand. I bought one of those handgrip sqeezers in hopes that I can maybe pull the trigger with my left hand next week. Wish me luck for next week

    thanks guys, I like lunges too, and I'm sure with more work it will make my behind look even better

    Wed:
    1hr TKD - we did a lot of falling, rolling and kicking, then my master decided to top it off with 5dif versionsx10 of pushups (twisting, dipping, reverse, etc....) I felt it in my arms and my abs, so it was good. He seemed to forget about us, so we did full 15min of jogging before started (although I'm sure it was intentional). And after class I spent another 20minutes wrestling

    Hey! Legs are important.

    Today was TKD sparring night. It was good, but I didn't really feel "it" today. I did lucklaster (sp?) sparring, and couldn't get a good kick out. On top of that either I pulled something (or hit it) in my right leg. I'm not good with anatomy, but I'll try to explain. It feels like a muscle that is on the outside between the shin and calf. Is there even a specific muscle there or is that calf? Anyways it hurts to walk. Yey for getting hurt in sparring

    Hey TTT,
    thanks, I feel all better now. I didn't pull anything, just bruised it.

    Lazy today, didn't do anything

    Sunday I'm teaching 7 lessons, so there will be a lot of walking, and I know I won't have enough energy to do anything but go to sleep when I come home.
