Quick ST today along with 2 on the treadmill while my little girl took her nap. There is much to do this week but I want to finish strong and get in a few more workouts before we leave. I am very pleased with how my body has responded to my strength training, my diet and the overall changes I am seeing. I am actually looking forward to a new challenge which will start Monday August 6th.
Here are my results from today…
Morning ST – 30:03 mins –
Standard Military Push ups – 5 sets of 20 reps
Two arm bicep curls with sumo squats – 3 sets of 20 reps with 20 lb Db’s
Squat Press – 3 sets of 20 reps using a 33 lb…(15 kg) plate
Plank Row – 3 sets of 30 reps with 8 lb Db’s

2 Interval sessions on the tread today –
