Recap

I know you all have just been dying to hear about my 8:00 a.m. training session.  You know, when I type that out it really doesn't sound that early.  Then I think back to when I woke up at 7:00 a.m. and every excuse known to man ran through my mind as why I shouldn't get out of bed.  Needless to say, the responsible side of me won. 

So here is what happened.  My lovely trainer had typed up three pages of exercises to go through with me.  They are split up like so: Upper Body, Lower Body, and Abs for Runners (Runner!  Eeek!  That's me!).  There is a set for weeks 1 &3 and weeks 2 & 4.

If you were a fly on the wall this is what you would have heard numerous times...

*  push through the heel!
*  breathe through your mouth!
*  you are doing great on the other part people normally get wrong but are screwing up the easy part...bend your knees!
*  is that too easy?  (silence from me, followed by smirk)  go grab the 45 lb. bar!
*  where do you feel that?  (usually some smart alec remark from me like my legs) which would be followed either by push through the heel! or get more weight!

I am feeling pretty cultured. Last week it was Bulgarian Squats and this week we have Modified Turkish Get-ups and the Cuban Press. It took us about 2 hrs. to get through everything and to be perfectly honest I am not quite sure I am going to remember them all! She was pretty nice and said I could skip running or do the elliptical after but I was only scheduled 15 minutes on the treadmill so I did it. I'm pretty much a superstar!


OK, here is a cheesy YouTube video of Zottman Curls.  They may quite possibly be my new fav!  Enjoy!
