Friday I went for a half-hour ski, and it was very peaceful and renewing to be out there in the fresh snow! It was also sticky and hard to ski in, but I'm no expert so it didn't really matter - I got my heart rate up and that is good. Saturday I took a day off, as I was quite stiff from Thursday's workout. Last night I decided to try a workout I found on bodybuilding.com. It's a 12-week muscle building plan, and I had to adapt it to fit the equipment I have, but here it is in a nutshell:
knee push-ups: 2x15
bench press: 15/12 with 15 lb. DB's, then 15 reps with 10 lb. DB's
Pec Fly: 3x15 with 10 lb. DB's
skull crushers: 15/14/12 with 10 lb. DB's
crunches: 3x15 with a 10 lb. DB
Planks: 3x30 seconds
Ugh, I hate planks with a passion! Why do they hurt so bad? I think maybe I was supposed to do dips in there, too. Oops, I'll have to check on that. Anyway, good workout, quite challenging for me right now. Tonight, some sort of cardio. It's -20 here right now, so I think skiing is out, and probably will be for the rest of the week. So it's either wind trainer or aerobics. Later...
