Week 13 II Day 1

Today,

I got thru workout A.

It was tough. I do need heavier weights for dead lift so while i contemplated new weights, i concentrated on form. Have to be careful with this one because I tend to start doing the Romanian dead lift instead of this version.

Had to go to Youtube to get a good visual on how to do this properly:

My next challenge was the A2 movement: the close grip pushup. Especially the way Holly does it. This style of pushup was introduced to me in a Pilates video so i call them Pilates push ups. It's always been a challenge to me. So doing this style in a close grip was even more of a challenge. Any suggestions?

The rest of the workout went smoothly although i do need to increase the weight for the MB Side Lunge to Raise movement..again concentrated on form once i recognized that weight needs to be increased by maybe a pound or 2. Since my shoulders are easy to burn out not a huge increase in this movement will be necessary.

I always loved Denise Paglia's shoulders her is a picture from when she as in Shape or Self or one of those fitness mags. Does anybody remember fitness beach on ESPN?

She is so cooool. Along with Wonder Woman, i think she will go on my inspiration board along with my goals and motivational quotes.

Here she is on the first issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers in Spring 2000.

Though my shoulders are burning i feel good after this workout. Best of all i didn't psych myself out today and NOT do my workout.


And i love Corey Everson..she is one cool chick. I loved her show on ESPN as well. I have a few taped...yes on that ancient thing called a VHS. Still great quality.

So mini goals additions:

1) close grip push ups or full body push ups.

2) heavier medicine ball, and set of 10lbs weights
