Workout Day 1

Today, I did my first workout from my new workout plan. It seriously kicked my butt. 

In the morning, I was supposed to do 45 minutes of elliptical, treadmill, or stair climbing. I did 15 minutes of stair climbing and walked for 30 minutes.  I’m pretty happy with the 15 minutes of stair climbing.  It was hard.  I hope to work up to 45 minutes slowly. 

In the afternoon, I did:

Side Lateral Raise (3 sets of 8 reps)
Front Dumbbell Raise (3 sets of 8 reps)
Reverse Machine Flies (3 sets of 8 reps)
Crunches (3 sets of 50 reps)
Air Bike (3 sets of 20 reps)

Bent-Knee Hip Raise (3 sets of 20 reps)

It didn’t seem like much when I was doing it, but afterwards I was seriously sore.  I only used 3 pound weights because that’s all I have and that’s probably all I can lift now.  I want to work up to heavier weights over time.
