Making Muscle

One thing I've learned with getting in tune with my body is that I feel the best, and weigh the least when I am lifting weights and have good muscle on my body. SOOO I got back into strength training, well today is my second day :-) but my goal is 4x's a week!!

Yesterday I did this workout:
~all were 3 sets of 10 reps unless otherwise noted~
Chest 1-Push ups
2-Flys
Shoulders 1-front lat raises
2-Arnold Press
Triceps 1- Cable Pull downs
2-Kickbacks
Quads 1- Leg Extensions
2-Lunges
Upper Abs 1-Bicycle Crunches {50 reps}
2-Crunches {50 reps}
Obliques 1- Oblique Crunch
2-Plant Twists

HRM stats:
Nov. 3rd
46.58
220 Calories
Max 158
Avg 111




Today I did this workout:
~all were 3 sets of 10 reps unless otherwise noted~
Back 1- Bent row
2- Superman
Biceps 1- Curls
2- Reverse Curls
Hamstrings 1- Leg Curls
2- Dead Lifts
Glutes 1- Squats
2- Hip Extensions
Lower Abs 1-Reverse Crunch {50 reps}
2-Hanging Ab Curl leg raises

HRM stats:
41.34
224 Calories
Max 159
Avg 117

I already feel stronger and it's great having sore muscles again - it means they are actually getting a workout! Both days I did all sets of the first exercise for the muscle group. Then after I did number 1 of each muscle group I went through and did number 2.
