Here we go

Today I began my plan to simply follow the workouts Michael is doing at Activedge, but just be a week behind.  I have never seen the results I would like when I attempted to create my own work out plans so I am gonna steal theirs : ).  The workouts as originally designed can be found out activedgetaf.blogspot.com, I will change them when I need to simply because my circumstances are much different!  So this afternoon after morning battles with the lawn mower and 2 hours of mowing grass, I headed to the track.  On memorial day they did a 200 track workout.  So today I did 3 sets of 200 hard, 200 jog, 200 hard, 200 jog.  Between sets I took a 2-3 min rest.  Both warm up and cool down were half mile jogs.  It was really hot and I was beat when i finished but I got it done.  unfortunately i forgot to take my watch with me so i have no idea what kinda of times I hit.  oh well, I ran hard and thats what matters.  After running some errands while I was out I attempted the lift they did last week as well.  It was a challenge both because it was hard and because I certainly dont have the same equipment at home they have at the gym.  Started with 4 sets of 5 bench working up from 115-130 lbs, accompanied by 4 sets of 6 lance step up with each leg with a 45 lbs weight.  Then, did my best to do decline DB bench.  Managed to do 3 sets of 8 working from 8 lbs weights to 15 lbs weights because thats all i've got!  Next was 3 sets of 8 dips  with 3 sets of 8 back squats (since i dont have a BOSU ball) working from 130-150 lbs.  After that I did 3 sets of 10 plyo (clap) push ups with 3 sets of 10 row the boat (frog) abs.  Finished up with 3 sets of 20 DB curls, since I only had 8 lbs DBs!  Then decided to add 3 sets 0f 25 side cruches on each side, because my abs felt left out! It was defa lot of work, and I'm pretty exhausted now, will be sore tomorrow!!
