This time change is messin up our whole house for sleep schedules... without preschool or an early morn job to MAKE us adjust, we're just doing everything later (smh)
Anyhoo-
Today Chris wanted me to help him/walk him through working out his legs- gently. He's trying to get his legs stronger since he has en injury in one knee...
We did all machines (I know- lame!) but he gets into pain using lunges and squats and such... so- everything I do below, he did, (at his own weight setting of course)
5 hindu pushups (just for fun ;)) wanted to see if I could do ANY
Hamstrings- seated leg flexion- 50 pounds, 3 sets of 15. This was challanging for sure!
Quads- seated leg ext.- 45 pounds. 3 sets, 15 reps. Wow- this always BURNS my quad attachment at the knee.
Groin adduct seated- 55 pounds, 4 sets, 15 reps
Groin abd seated- 50 3 sets, 15 reps. hard!
Glute machine- bent over/prone? (I had chris use the ankle straps/cables as he was too BIG to fit into the machine lol!) 25 pounds, 3 sets 13 reps... this was very hard. Perhaps because i'd already done so much?
Calf, seated press- 150 pounds, 3 sets, 15 reps.
10 minutes of the spin bike- never used it before .... my legs were on FIRE. Hated it lol
7 hindu pushups, handstands, 7 hindu pushups (not doing the full swing through for most of them- just a wierd butt in the air push up), and finished with handstands again...
Stretching...
Hindu pushups? I had to google that one. Are you gonna do more of those? They looks good.
ReplyDeleteWhy do those stupid abd add machines? I swear it cracks me up that you would do hindu push-ups AND those. Maybe they aren't so back. They just seem to weird for me.
Yes, I actually really like to use the machines once in a while to mix it up- (when I'm not getting sore any more from doing lunges- I'll do almost anything to mix it up =)
ReplyDeleteThe hindu pushups are hardcore- last year I tried them and couldn't do them- so I'm getting some great gains!! =) You totally need to try them
