Getnfit06 - sorry for the delay: Good evening sunshine!

Today was the first actual work-out day all by me onesy!

I made it "BACK DAY" instead of Arm day because I have to babysit tonite and I don't wanna drop my punkin

It is ok to rearrange the days as long as all the days are done in a week isn't it?

Here's how BACK DAY went and yes you can all laugh as much as you want when you see the sets/reps/weight.

I gotta start somewhere and at least I started:

BACK
Roman Chair - 3 sets - 12 reps - last half of 3rd set was a killer. Felt it in my butt and legs too.

Seated rows - 4 sets- 10 reps - weight: ?? I have no idea I could barely see the screen and I couldn't locate any kind of a contrast button.

Gravitron (assisted chinups?)- 3 sets - 12 reps - resistance wght: 115/115/130# I like this machine for some reason. 3rd set was a killer so I up'd it from 115 to 130#.

Lower back machine - 3 sets - 12 reps - weight: 40#

They've moved some machines around and I couldnt find the one they said was the equivelant of the "reverse pec deck" and there was a whole crew of guys hogging the pulldown machine (1 machine with 4-6 pulldown type stations all in use)

ABS
Torso machine (obliques) - 2 sets - 15 reps - 30#. Each side.
Ab machine - 2 sets - 15 reps - 40#

5 Minutes on the Crosstrainer in cardio mode.

I'm sure I'm gonna feel it all over later but it felt good to get there and actually do it!

Good morning EF!!

Well my back isn't sore today but it does feel tight all over. That includes the back of my legs, my butt and my biceps.

I'm not sure what my daughters schedule is but I think today might be cardio day so that Monday I can start the full set of daily workouts.

I figure the crosstrainer would be a good start for the cardio. I kinda enjoyed it yesterday.

Roman Chair for back? I've never heard that one. Were you on this?

or the hyperextension (which can also be called Roman Chair)- I'm assuming it's this one?

It's an older version of the 2nd one & they called it a roman chair. Most of their stuff is Hammer Strength.

Morning Q! It's good to get some blood flowing through those muscles, I think some cardio will be a good thing

Happy crosstraining

It's freakin snowing!!

Well the kiddoes stopped by to pick up some of their dad's stuff but they don't have room for everything on this trip. He'll be gone a month tomorrow and it still doesn't feel real.

I may not get to the gym because of the unexpected visit as I had promised to babysit this evening while daughter goes to get her hair done.

I need to go more now than I did earlier today as the gym seems to provide "Stress Reducing Therapautic Properties."

I WANT MY GYM TIME!!!

A certain little someone was up at 6am and wasn't wanting mommy...she wanted grammy. I have to go to work for a bit and also babysit today.

My weekend workout plan isn't working out very well. Gonna have to fix that. (My daughter has forbidden me from taking the baby to the gym's daycare because she doesn't know who would be watching her. I tend to agree, I didn't leave my kids with strangers either.)
