Day 12

I went to the gym thinking that there was a RPM class at 5:30 PM. On reaching the gym I realized it was at 4:15 PM and I missed it :-). I started of with my workout :

3 sets of bicep curls. 10,20,20 lbs
2 sets of arnold press, 10,20 lbs
2 sets of hammer curls, 15,15 lbs
3 sets of leg extension, 30,40,50 lbs
1 set leg press, 40 lbs - 50 reps

Did leg raises and few other exercises for abs.

Rest I don't remember as of now.

Day 11

I am happy to be going as per my schedule. As it was a Saturday, I had to run long.

I started off well today and continued the momentum till the end.

Distance : 11 KM
Time : 1hr 10 mins

Could have done better, but I am happy to have run 11.

No workout.

Day 10

I have decided to post the details about my gym workout. This is what I did today :

3 sets of barbell curls with 10 and then 20lbs on each side

3 sets of arnold press for shoulders with 10 and then 20lbs on each side

3 sets of concentration curls with 20lbs on each side

2 sets of hammer curls with 15lbs on each side

2 sets of front raises for shoulders with 15lbs on each side

Once I was warmed up, I got on to a treadmill. Started my session with a nice 9KM/hr speed for first 1K and then increased my pace gradually. 9 for next 500mts, 10 for next 500mts, 10.5 for next 500mts. Came down to 9 and kept running. Then I decided to have a blast and ran for 400mts at 14.5.

Completed my 5K run in 32 mins.

Best is yet to come :-)

Started legs workout after my run :

3 sets of lunges, 2 without weights, 1 with 7.5lbs on each side

3 sets of leg extension, 30,30,40lbs

3 sets of leg curls, 15,25,25 lbs

2 sets of sitting leg curls, 40,50 lbs

I liked the complete routine and was happy with my workout today.

Day 9 - Happy Holi

The gym was closed today for Holi. I was pissed off whole day sitting at home. Went out with my sis in the evening. But no workout.

Day 8 - Cardio Blast

Today was a great day at gym. As per my schedule I was supposed to run 5K. But because the gym will be closed next day I thought of running a 10K.

Started off pretty well with a 10K/hr pace and carried it for 4K.

Increased my pace a bit and ran another 1K, when the knee bug hit me again.

I had to slow down and once I felt better, I thought of having a blast. I started running at 13.5K/hr and then moved to 14.5K/hr. It was fun to be running at such a pace. This was the first time I was running at 14.5.

I got off the treadmill after running 7K.

Once I was off, I headed towards the RPM studio for cycling workout. As I was late for the class I could do it for 40 mins, but it was a great cardio workout.

Once I was done, my shorts and shirt were all soaked in sweat :-)

Day 7

Day 7, and I am glad to have maintained my schedule till now. Today was a rest day for me with no running.

I went to the gym in the evening and did workout for biceps, shoulders and traps. Couple of exercises for legs as well.

Tomorrow is again a running day with a 5K run.

I have started having eggs again.

Day 6

Today I was supposed to run 10K in the morning, but I didn't feel going for a run in the morning. My legs were sore and I didn't feel like tiring them more.

I went to the gym and joined the RPM class. It was a great 50 min cycling workout.

After this I did lunges, took a steam bath and came back home.

My right thigh muscles are sore and they pain when stretched. I'll do some stretching on Monday.

No running on Monday :-)
