FLP - Day 17 - December 9, 2009


Cardio: Worked out at Air Products Fitness Center today, shown in the photos. You might know Air Products from their green and white tanker trucks carrying oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, and argon.

On Life Fitness Elliptical Trainer shown in the above photo

Warmup: 5 minut
es, then 3 sets of Intervals 2 minutes @high intensity + 2 minutes @low intensity; I did an addition interval after strength training as I couldn't complete the 4th set in the initial warmup as I was just too tired

Strength Training:

Decline Pushup - 1 set, 14 reps
Stability Ball Pushup - 2 sets, 14 reps
Dumbbell Burpees - 6 lb. weights - 3 sets, 6 reps , weights actually made these a little easier as I'm not afraid of crashing onto my wrist. I'm working for more speed
Walking Lunges - 3 sets of 16
Standing Band Rotations - 3 sets, 12 each direction, I used the equipment at the gym instead of bands

Pull Downs - 3 sets of 12, used equipment instead of bands since I was at the gym
Get-Ups - Weighted - 3 sets, 7 reps, my butt is off the ground by 18 inches or so, but nowhere near standing up.

Nutrition:

5:45 AM Get up and feed my cats who act like they are starving

9:30 Am Morning Snack - 1/2 c plain yogurt plus 1/2 c fresh blackberries
