Trainer Week 4

This week was a good week! I had a lot of fun and once again had a great workout. The plan this week was to do a combination of legs and arms. Here is what I did...

First was step ups onto (what seemed like) a GIANT platform. It took a lot of strength to lift my body plus my leg, without putting it down on the top. So basically, one leg needed to life me up and take me down without the help of the other.

Catching my balance...

Then I did sumo squats! They were rather painful, since I had to use a 65 pound weight!!! It was hard, but rather relaxing after the step ups.

I went through 3 sets of step ups and sumo squats. The step ups were 10 reps per leg per set and the sumo squats were 12 reps per set. Next was the arm machines. This one was a pull down type machine. I was instructed to use one arm, while the other wrapped around my side. I did 12 reps of these along with another machine for 3 sets.

Lastly I did elevated planks of off the bench press seat. Instead of just holding the plank, I had to put one leg down, touch it to the ground, and lift it back up 10 times. Then switch and do the other leg. It was painful on my core and leg at the same time! I did 3 sets of that as well!

After that, my session was over. 4 done, 1 to go!
