Skipped Boot Camp

I can't believe I skipped Boot Camp! Even after having a relatively restful weekend in Palm Springs! Anyway, I woke up feeling so out of it, that I snoozed for another full hour! Anyway, I did manage to make up for it (somewhat) by getting in a decent workout at LA Fitness.

I did a warmup run on the treadmill for 2 miles, then went straight to the mats. I did some pushups, plank, pike, and crunches. I can't believe how sweaty I got. My entire shirt was soaked and sweat was dripping off my nose, my forehead, everywhere! After getting in some calisthenics, I focused on my arms by doing some bicep curls (30lb curl bar), tricep extensions (10 lbs; over my head) and some shoulder raises (10 lbs). All were with light weights, but I did 3 sets of 12 reps.

I felt great. If I regret not doing one exercise, it was definitely forgetting to focus on my back muscles (row, lat pulls). I think that would have been quite helpful as well. Anyway, I am going to try to incorporate at least one weight-lifting day to my weeks moving forward (I'm sick of not being able to do pushups or plank for 5 minutes!!!!)
