So, I've been working on running a mile and I've gotten to the point where I can jog half a mile without stopping. :) Anyway, in my weekly post I said that I'd describe my resistance work so here it is: If you'd like further detail, just say so in a comment!
(Each exercise is linked to a video showing how it's done.)
2 sets of 8 repetitions of the following with 3 or 5 lb barbells:
-bicep curls (arm at side slightly bent, tuck elbow next to side, slowly bend arm raising weight up and then back down again)
-tricep extensions (kneel on all fours/lean over, tuck elbow into side arm bent 90 degrees and slowly straighten arm out, and bend again)
- over head shoulder press (hands next to head, elbows out, slowly raise hands over head until almost straight and bring them back down)
-lateral arm raises (arms slightly bent at side, raise them out to form a T and then slowly lower them back again)
-squats (feet facing front, bend knees and waist until knees reach 90 degrees, bring arms forward)
-lunges (one leg forward, lean forward until knee reaches 90 degrees, back knee close to floor)
-pelvic/hip raises (lay on back, bend knees, feel flat, raise hips until straight line from shoulder to knee, slowly lower back down again)
Do 1 minute:
standing twists (stand feet shoulder width apart bring barbells in close to chest and twist at waist)
As many as you can:
crunches (minumum 20)
push ups (minumum 10)
