I had to do this video by myself because Kristi is working late tonight. It's ok and everything, but I really enjoy when we laugh and talk and good around a little bit. It was hard without her here, but it really just felt like exercise.
Keeping with the theme of the last muscle building workout, my goal was to increase weight and decrease reps. It kind of worked out that way!
1. Reverse Grip Chin-Ups: 20R+B, 15R+B
2. Wide Front Pull-Ups: 16R+B, 15R+B
3. Closed Grip Pverhand Pull-Ups: 16R+B, 15R+B
4. Switch Grip Pull-Ups: 20R+B, 16R+B
So, the first time I did this exercise, I did a total of 110 "pull-ups", then I increased to 157 last week! This week, I did 133!! So, my plan of increasing weights and decreasing reps worked out! :o) I hope to simulate more of pull-up by using heavier weights, while continuing to lean into the bands and pulling at an angle (as Tony Horton mentions in the video).
As for the leg part of the routine - well, my legs were sore the next day (and the next one too). I actually felt it in my inner thighs too! Which was exciting!
I am starting to be able to do more of the Ab routine as well!! I did all 25 In&Outs followed immediately by 20 of the bicycles. I rested for 10 seconds before doing the reverse ones, but was able to do a lot of those too. I noticed my legs being sore during the ab workout! haha. I worked myself pretty hard this day!
