Lean Circuit 1 - 1 set of 12 (or at least 10) to failure of the following:
single-leg calf raise w/ bicep curl (+1 set of 3 curls, super slow) [15 lb dumbbell] - I tried with 20 lbs but it was too much. A third set of dumbbell handles would have been nice today.
triceps push ups (+1 set of 3 overhead triceps extensions, super slow) [15 lb dumbbell] - 5 on toes, 6 on knees
split-lunge w/ bicep curl (+1 set of 3 squats, super slow) [10 lb dumbbells, 15 for breakdown set]
double triceps kickback w/ stationary runner’s lunge (+1 set of 3 triceps dips, super slow)[10 lb dumbbells]
bicep/hamstring curls (+1 set of 3 squats, super slow) [10 lb dumbbell]
plank w/ single-arm triceps extension (+1 set of 3 triceps hovers, super slow) [10 lb dumbbell] - plank on my toes, hovers on my TOES!
reverse lunge w/ double arm bicep curl (+1 set of 3 squats, super slow) [10 lb dumbbells]
supine overhead triceps extensions (+1 set of 3 push ups, super slow) [20 lb dumbbell] - push ups on my toes
sumo squat calf raise w/ bicep curl (+1 set of 3 curls, super slow) [10 lb dumbbells]
Last night's Biggest Loser was amazing. Don't worry - NO SPOILERS here. I was in awe of the progress these people have made. I actually cheered (as in jumped up, shouted and clapped) twice during the show. The challenge required them to carry their original body weight through a series of stops, shedding pounds in the same pattern they did during the their time at the ranch. They all talked about how eye opening it was for them to realize that they'd been carrying that much weight around all the time. A few hours later, I was giving my son a piggy-back ride. He weighs about 45 pounds, which is less than I've actually lost, and it was just weird to think that I used to carry around that extra weight, too. Certainly, not as much as the contestants, but my body did feel weird.
