Strength Circuit Training 08/09

Woot! I got my circuit workout in today - now I don't feel like such a slacker! My legs totally feel like Jello after my run earlier today - but it was totally worth it! Had to rush through it a little bit as I had a client coming over - but at least I got it in!

Here's what I did today - circuit style workout done as fast as possible with 30 seconds of rest in between each circuit

Warm Up

Circuit One:
Wide-Grip Lat Pulldowns - 50lbs for 20 reps set 1, 50lbs for 12 reps set 2
Dumbbell Row - 20lbs in each arm for 15 reps
Lunges (no added weight) - 25 reps per leg (ouch!)
One-Minute fast high knees

Circuit Two:
Low Dumbbell Rows - 15lbs each arm for 15 reps
Lying Hamstring Curls - 50lbs for 15 reps
Step Ups - performed at "10" on step - 20 reps per leg

Circuit Four:
Pendulum Lunges with Hammer Curls - 5lb dumbbells in each arm (focused more on form than weight) - 10 reps per leg)

One-Minute fast High Knees
