Weeks like this one that make it hard for me to get back in the gym. I met with my trainer (who gave me a free session. Love you Mary!) and she ran me through a workout I should have had no problems doing. Sadly, I had trouble doing 7x7x7 curls with 10 pounds. I used to be able to do curls with 25 pounds. What happened?
I know what happened. I got lazy and stopped lifting weights. One thing I have learned about Weber's and our genes...we can put on muscle very quickly. For someone who is trying to lose inches, muscle is not necessarily the best thing in the world. Of course I need muscle, but I was hoping to burn more fat before I began to add muscle.
The circuits that I am currently doing require minimal weight training. Everything the circuits call for can be done with 10 pound dumbbells or less. Some exercises that I do are dumbbell flys, curls, squats, bridges, bicycles, v-tucks, etc. All of these exercises, although good exercises, don't provide me with enough weight training. Now it's figuring out whether I edit my workouts and just add more weight, or if I choose a new workout plan all together. Anyone?
