2nd Trainer Workout

Alright, so my plan is to record my workouts on here, so that if/when I no longer have a trainer, I can pull these out, and still have great workouts to do. Sound good? One thing...I'm really bad for knowing the names of things, so I think I will try to describe the workout instead of naming it...or name it something stupid, that's so obivously not the name!

2nd session with trainer

Grabbed a 20 pound bar, the rubber kinds with no weights actually on it. Mine was pink! Headed out to the track. Upper body first (Leah said most of the time she likes full-body workouts)

1. Hold bar in front of you, palms facing toward you. Do a bicep curl, then raise it over your head. Back down. That's 1. Did 20!
2. keep palms facing in. Lower bar, arms straight. Raise bar straight up in front of you, squeezing your shoulder muscles as you raise the bar. The bar stays straight, you just move it up and down. 20 times
3. 20 women's pushups.

Run 3 laps on the track as fast as you can. Last 1/4, SPRINT!

Now onto lower body

1. Wall sit for 1 minute. Feeeeel the burn!
2. Modified burpies. Jump up, squat and touch the ground. Repeat 15 times
3. That's it for lower body! Some core now-Partner Leg throws. Lie down, with your partner standing with one foot on either side of your head. Grab their ankles. Lift your legs straight up, soles of your shoes paralel to the ceiling. Your partner will push your feet back to the ground. Dont't let your feet touch the ground! Repeat 15 times. (This is awesome if your partner pushes your feet in different directions, it works different parts of your abs then).

Run 2 laps as fast as you can.

Back to upper body.

1. 15 bicep curl/pole to the ceiling (see above for directions).
2. 20 bar raises
3. 15 women's pushups. This time, push yourself up and bring your hands off the mat. Hard!

Sprint 1 lap

1. Wall sit for 1 minute. (my legs were shaking!!)
2. Modified burpies. 15 times.
3. Partner Leg throws. 15 times.

Walk 2 laps to get heartrate down.

Onto some core.
1. Sit down on a mat with your partner standing in front of you with a 6 pound medicine ball. Lean back and lift your feet off the ground, creating a V-seat. Your partner will gently toss the ball to you. Toss it back. That's 1. Repeat 15 times (keep those feet up!)
2. Create the V-seat again, while holding the medicine ball in front of you. Move ball from side to side. Repeat 20 times. (try to keep your legs off the ground for the majority of this, it's difficult).

Stretch...and you're done!

Phew!
