Loggin My Workouts

A bit behind again on logging my workouts.  So here is a quick rundown:

Saturday: scheduled rest day
Sunday: Fat Assassin WO from bodyrock.tv plus 2 pull ups before the workout and 2 sets of 2 after the workout (HR 102 BPM)
Monday: Stereo Love WO from bodyrock.tv plus 2 sets of 3 pull ups after the workout. (HR 114 BPM)
Today: TRX WO

Today's TRX workout came from the TRX forums courtesy of "Tortle".  It was a nice, full body strength workout.  I think I'd add some pistol squats with jumps or something similar to add a bit more leg work, but other than that it was a great total body workout that took me 30:07.  Here is a copy of the exercises and reps:

  1. 40 atomic pushups
  2. 40 low rows.
  3. 40 suspended lunges, each leg (no transition rest between legs)
  4. 40 hip presses
  5. 100 hip abductors
  6. 40 tricep presses (steep, feet almost back to anchor point)
  7. 30 chest presses (feet together directly under anchor point)
  8. 25 Y shoulder raises
  9. 15 swimmer pulls
  10. 25 bicep curls (feet under anchor point)
  11. side plank with 30 taps, both sides
  12. 30 suspended pikes, holding at top
  13. 50 oblique leg raises

I didn't know what the oblique leg raises were so I made up my own exercise by doing a side plank in single handle mode and lifting my upper leg 25/leg.... stabalizing with my upper arm.  This actually turned out to be a neat exercise but I'm hoping to figure out how to do a proper oblique leg raise.  I also have to admit that I didn't go nearly as deep as designed in the presses and curls but went as deep as I could!   This was a great toning workout but not much cardio effect.... my HR at the end was 88 BPM.
