After procrastinating for a couple of months, reading endless blogs and websites and getting info overload I decided to just go for it and if I'm doing it worng I can tweak it later.

 

Dumbell Arm Curl 3kg weights - 12 reps x3 - OK - weight comfortable

Dumbell Overhead Press 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - almost to failure - do not up weight

Dumbell Bent Over Row 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - comfortable

Dumbell Chest Press 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - comfortable

Dumbell Lunge 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - comfortable but wobbly balance

Dumbbell Shoulder Squat 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - aim to squat lower

Dumbbell Triceps Extension 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - hard but comfortable

Dumbbell Front Raise 2kg weights -12 reps x3 - hard but comfortable

Dumbell Squat 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - Squat lower

Dumbell Concentration Curl - 12 reps x3 - correct weight

Cheers Ben,

Too much information just doesn't help does it?

 

Anyway -

Was quite sore Thursday and very very sore Friday so Saturday morning I went out for a nice long walk, then repeated Wednesday's routine.

 

Realised that the area I'm not sore is my Abs and chest so going to look into some Ab exercise to alternate days.

 

Saturday 14th Jan

Dumbell Arm Curl 3kg weights - 12 reps x3 - OK - Comfortable but weight correct

Dumbell Overhead Press 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - again almost to failure - had to take short breaks in sets

Dumbell Bent Over Row 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - comfortable - need to check form

Dumbell Chest Press 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - comfortable

Dumbell Lunge 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - comfortable - balance improving

Dumbbell Shoulder Squat 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - much easier

Dumbbell Triceps Extension 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - hard - had to take short breaks in sets

Dumbbell Front Raise 2kg weights -12 reps x3 - hard but comfortable

Dumbell Squat 3kg weights -12 reps x3 - easier

Dumbell Concentration Curl - 12 reps x3 - correct weight - almost to failure

 

Food is still an issue. Have worked out macros but not how to actually eat to meet these requirements without going way over on Carbs.

Need to loose fat so thinking that Weight Watchers plan (which Im familiar with), and a concious emphasis on increasing protein might be the best way to go for the minute.

 

Anyway, next workout Monday

Welcome! Hope all is going well! I totally relate to what you said about figuring out the macros. I've been in the same boat and keep overeating carbs and fat in order to increase the protein. Grrr. Anyway, I'm just going to relax about it a bit and not stress too much over it, hoping I'll figure it out with time.

 

Good luck with everything!

 

All the best,

Karen
