This is the workout I used to help ease myself back into the gym on 12/28/08
I began with a 500 yard swim. I definatly felt that my lungs were not at the same level as they were when I last entered the pool 3-months ago. However, the cutting down on smoking has helped a lot!
From there I went up to the weight machine area. I was focusing on my arms. All of these exercises are super sets. Super sets are basically doing two exercises with out resting in between. When I do these workouts I don’t stop until all sets are done with both exercises.
Super set 1
Bicept Curl Machine- 3 sets of 15
Tricept Extension Machine- 3 sets of 15
*REST*
Super Set 2
Tricep push down machine- 3 sets of 15
Standing Hammer Curls using dumbells- 3 sets of 15
*REST*
Super Set 3
Dips- 3 sets of 15
Reverse Curls- Using dumbells- 3 sets of 15
*REST*
Finally I ended with a brisk bike ride for about 10 min to cool down my muscles.
Then Josh came and wanted to play Racketball, so I did that for about 20 min.
It felt great! How did your last work out feel?
