Core Work

Source: xe9.xanga.com via Jeni on Pinterest


I am starting to fall into a routine with my workouts.  It is very reminiscent of my college days in how it is set up.  Mondays & Thursdays my main lift is HANG CLEANS followed by an assortment of auxiliary exercises that will more than likely change up from day to day.  Tuesdays & Fridays are SQUATS & BENCH PRESS followed again with auxiliaries. That leaves us with Wednesdays.  These used to be a complete day of rest in college, but right now I don't think that is necessary.  So I am loading these days up with CORE WORK.

Today's workout:
Leg Thrusts 2x50
20lb. Russian Twists 2x30
Hip Curls 1x10 each side
25lb. Back Extensions 3x10
65lb. Low Rows 3x10
Alternate Leg Box Jumps (just for good measure!) 1x10 each leg

So compared to the intensity of the other days, this was a "down day" but we will call it "active rest."

On the meal plan today:
Breakfast - 2 Whole Grain Eggo's with egg, turkey sausage & cheese and a bit of jelly; Coffee w/ creamer (480cals)
PostWorkout - 1/2 of a Svelte Cappuccino Protein Shake (130cals)
Lunch - Shredded Chicken w/ mustard, vinegar & oil dressing and banana peppers (411cals)
Afternoon snack will be Sweet Chili Pistachios & a Banana (275cals)
Dinner will be a taco salad of Lettuce, Ground Sirloin, Black Beans, Cottage Cheese & Salsa (445cals)
And I've saved some room, 321cals worth to be exact, for a dessert/snack after dinner!
