How does this look?
Are there too many sets?
Are there too many reps?
What's a "triple drop set?"
I know that getting the right amount of weight will be the key so I will be starting out light until I have a solid grasp of the proper form for each exercise. I have no intention of getting hurt & proper form is a must.

10 cycles - 90 seconds Full Tilt - 90 seconds Recovery
Abs: Pick 3 Days Per Week

Day 2: Sets: 3, Reps: 6-8, (TUT=Time Under Tension)
Incline Sit Ups - (6 TUT)
Hanging Leg Raises - (6 TUT)
Day 3: Sets: 3 - Till Failure
Pass the ball - Start on back…arms above head holding a stability ball or med ball Sit up as you raise legs….pass ball to between feet, then vice versa
***************************************************
OK ladies I need some of your wisdom and guidance on the proposed plan because I'm really nervous about starting this.......
Are there too many sets?
Are there too many reps?
What's a triple drop set?
Should I drop the number of sets to 2 and just lift heavier?

Tomorrow is weigh in day so I'll see how I did this week.
I was dressed and ready for the gym when I hear ".....mom can u watch the baby for about 20 min while I run get my haircut?....."
I said sure. (Was supposed to be 20 min.....more like 2 hrs....I didn't mind cuz the grandbaby is my lil punkin...we snuggled and she patted my face like she always does. I almost cry everytime she does that.
I'm not sore from the "couple of reps of everything" that I did yesterday during the orientation. That's a good sign. I guess that must mean that there really IS muscle hibernating somewhere underneath all that flab. I guess it's trying to keep warm.

Good Morning Everyone & Woohoooooooooo it's Friday!
I forgot to weigh myself this morning so I'll have to do that tomorrow morning.
Told my daughter that we needed to coordinate our personal time schedules so that I can try to go to the gym around the same time every day. When she has her personal time I watch the baby. My personal time will be gym time. Personal time = time to do things for ourselves.
I have my gym bag packed and in the car, that way if I don't have to pick the baby up from the sitter I can go straight to the gym. Let the fun begin!
I tried to take some before pics with the webcam last night but they weren't very good, even with every light in the room on. I'll have to wait till I can get my daughter to break out her digital camera and snap the pics for me.

Getnfit06 - sorry for the delay: Good evening sunshine!
Today was the first actual work-out day all by me onesy!
I made it "BACK DAY" instead of Arm day because I have to babysit tonite and I don't wanna drop my punkin
It is ok to rearrange the days as long as all the days are done in a week isn't it?
Here's how BACK DAY went and yes you can all laugh as much as you want when you see the sets/reps/weight.
I gotta start somewhere and at least I started:
BACK
Roman Chair - 3 sets - 12 reps - last half of 3rd set was a killer. Felt it in my butt and legs too.
Seated rows - 4 sets- 10 reps - weight: ?? I have no idea I could barely see the screen and I couldn't locate any kind of a contrast button.
Gravitron (assisted chinups?)- 3 sets - 12 reps - resistance wght: 115/115/130# I like this machine for some reason. 3rd set was a killer so I up'd it from 115 to 130#.
Lower back machine - 3 sets - 12 reps - weight: 40#
They've moved some machines around and I couldnt find the one they said was the equivelant of the "reverse pec deck" and there was a whole crew of guys hogging the pulldown machine (1 machine with 4-6 pulldown type stations all in use)
ABS
Torso machine (obliques) - 2 sets - 15 reps - 30#. Each side.
Ab machine - 2 sets - 15 reps - 40#
5 Minutes on the Crosstrainer in cardio mode.
I'm sure I'm gonna feel it all over later but it felt good to get there and actually do it!
