Updated Exercise Routine

I'm not going to change up my cardio just yet. Mainly because I'm still sick and had a hard enough time just warming up this morning for weights. Plus, my treadmill is on it's last legs, I think. But for the record, here are the (approximate) paces I've been running:

Level 5 - 2.8 mph
Level 6 - 3.3 mph
Level 7 - 3.7 mph
Level 8 - 4.2 mph
Level 9 - 4.5 mph
Level 10 - 4.9+ mph

My husband got me an EZ Curl Bar the other day, to help with my skull crushers. So I decided to see what my bars weight. The EZ bar weighs 12 pounds and my regular bar weighs 12.5 pounds. When I list a weight on my blog or my fitness tracker, it only counts the plates I put on the bars, and not the bars themselves.

barbell curl: 20

standing overhead dumbbell press: 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 12.5
front raise: 7.5

EZ bar skull crusher: 5, 10, 15, 20, 15
close grip bench press (w/ EZ bar): 10

Lower Body

leg extension: 27.5, 30, 32.5, 35, 32.5
squat w/ EZ bar: 10

lying leg curl: 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 25
