Weight Training Continues
Last night I added a couple pounds of weight to my dumbbells and started doing 2 sets of exercises. Although I am still using baby poundage, try to tell that to my aching arms and shoulders.
Anybody out there work with free weights at home (e.g. bar and dumbbells)? What kind of weight did you start out with?
Summary of Last Night's Training:
Warm-up;
1 set 15 pushups, 1 set 25 sit-ups;
1 set of weight training (WT) exercises;
1 set 15 pushups, 1 set 25 sit-ups;
2nd set of weight training (WT) exercises;
3K run (18:39)
1K walk (cool down)
1 set 15 pushups, 1 set 25 sit-ups;
Cool down.
Conditions: 16:30; 23C/74F, rainy.
Feeling after training: Upper body tired, first time doing 2 sets of WT exercises.
Other ramblings:
Did you hear about the RBF fest at Las Vegas in December? Great idea! Gee, I have to get y’all over here for the Baden Marathon/Half-Marathon. Stay an extra week or two and y’all can hit the Octoberfest too! I could run a lottery to see who gets our guestroom, or maybe build bunk beds in the shed for those seeking budget accommodations ;-)
