Bring on the resistance

Today was back to resistance training after a week of recovery and I was excited to have at it. After the way last week went I decided that I would be adding weights to each of the exercises today and that is just what I did. Let me tell you it really made a difference, I was able to get more reps on just about every chest exercise today but my reps did go down on the shoulders and tris workouts. I guess you would expect that when you add more resistance. This weekend I did something I never thought I would be able to do for the first time and tried to do it again today but it didn't happen that late into the workout. What is it you ask, I was able to do a couple of one handed push ups, I wanted to do them today but when they are the 6th or so chest exercise that you do in a workout they are quite a bit more difficult but I think I will be ready for them when I go for this workout again in two weeks. I am now on alternating workout weeks until the end of the program. The cool thing is I am already on day fifty and am seeing great results. I even spent a whole 4.95 on Amazon yesterday to buy a body fat tester because I am tired of not knowing what my percentage is and figured five dollars was worth it in order to get and maintain an accurate number. I want t a good base line and want to see some serious progression as I continue to stay fit and move through this program. As with all working out, it is not about the numbers or ego it is totally about seeing progression, progression equals progress and progress is the key to moving forward. I was going to try for a run this morning but by the time I was done with the workout I had nothing left in the tank which is a good workout in my book. I can see myself having a bit more energy over the next two weeks since this is the last week of classes and I have two weeks off before starting them up again. I can't wait because it is going to let me focus on some things I have had to put off in order to get everything done for school. I am even planning on going on a run or two with the local runners group here in Spring Hill. I am pretty excited to get to a normal life even if it is only for a few week. Tomorrow is my next run at Bob Harper cardio and after it kicked my but last time I have been waiting for this up coming rematch and know I am going to own it this time. Check back tomorrow to see how it goes. Well until next time.

Tip of the day:
Like I said up above your workouts are about you, don't worry about the numbers of the people on the screen if you are at home or the people around you at them gym. Worry about your numbers, watch them grow and enjoy the results.
