Am unable to sleep so instead I post…

I received my first “workout card” from my trainer. Take a look:

A few new ones, but for the most part, Trainer Dan has taken exercises I already do, and brought them up a notch. For instance, Leg Press: Now I put a medicine ball in between my thighs to work the inner thighs. Body Row (aka Yates row): When they get easy I put my feet on a medicine ball and do it. Triceps kickbacks: Now I support myself on a Bosu Ball. Basically all of my old exercises with an extra element of working the core.

Another benefit of this new “workout card” (it’s what them trainers like to call them) … I do squats, while working other muscles. Instead of a seated row I squat and row. Squat and shoulder press. Makes for increased efficiency. I’m all about that.

This particular workout I did in 45 minutes or so, minus the abs exercises, and plus a 5-minute warm up on the erg. The weight wasn’t overwhelming, which is reasonable considering the reps he put me at. I believe my next workout card will be lower on the reps, heavier on the weight. I’ll be getting the next (and last) card on Saturday.

I will post that one, too. I figure, I’m paying for someone to do this for me, therefore I own the property, right? Why not share? (Of course I’m not responsible if you hurt yourself. Consult your physician and so on and so forth.)
