Medicine Ball Slams |
I haven't been to the gym for a little while and I don't feel
good. My hands feel weak and my back hurts.
A couple of years ago, my lower back hurt so much that I had
to endure a lot of pain and had
difficulty getting in and out of a car. I went to my doctor who laid put two
options in for me:
Push Up on the Smith Machine |
Or
2. Find
a personal trainer who could customize an exercise program for me to strengthen
my muscles.
Lat Pull Down |
Body Plank |
Agility Ladder |
I never regret it once!
I feel good and stronger each time upon finishing my session
with my trainer.
Today’s exercise
program targeted my upper body helping me
to build muscles and strength. There were two sets of exercises:
Medicine Ball Slam – 45 seconds
Push up on the Smith Machine – 12 times
Lat Pull Down Machine – 12 times
Body Plank ( on exercise mat) – 1
minute and 15 seconds
Circuit 2
a. Agility ladder – running in and
out, back and forth 3 times
Walking lurch with weights ( carrying
a 7.5 lb weight on each hand) – 20 times
Triceps Pulls |
b. Bicep curls – 10 lbs on each
hand – 20 times
c. Triceps pulls on the Dual
Adjustable Pulley Machine – 12 times
d, Side planks ( on exercise mat) –
each side for 30 seconds
Of the two circuits, I found the
body plank the hardest. It was not easy supporting my entire body weight on two
elbows. I was burning!!!
Side Plank |
However, I do look forward to building enough strength so that I could lift some weights. That would be fun!!!
