Day one - Designed Fitness Programme

Life is theatre.  Comedy and Tragedy.

Yes. I have a very, very old phone.

My arms - this very minute - fall into the latter.  Solidly.  Or, more like "Jelly-ly"? :)
A coupe hours ago I followed the fitness program outlined in yesterday's post.

I started with a pair of 25lbs dumbbells and a pair of 15 pounders.  After the first circuit- doing each exercise for 12 reps, I changed the 15 to a 20#.

The bottom line is, by the time I was into my 4 and final circuit, my arms felt swollen.  I kept looking at my eyes to see if they went suddenly green, and I'd 'hulk' out.  Massive burn, very tight burn, too.  Not just sore.  Sorta funny - after, through my shirt, when i'd flex I could see little round peaks in my biceps.  I haven't had muscles there in years.  More than a decade.  Burning soreness and the feeling of swelling.  Those symptoms in other parts might require a visit to the doctor - the only real outcome of this VERY good arm/shoulder work out is...I was very hungry after.  I'm right at about 1000 calories so far today; shooting for 1800.  Might only get 1600...but that's fine.

Oh - after my work out with the weights I moved to the core strengthening.  Couldn't do it.  My abs are still torn-up from my fitness evaluation, thus I barely got through a couple sessions of those.

After the light ab work, I went to the bike and moderately pedaled my way through three miles.

Thanks, Erin.  What you designed caused me a lot of very wonderful pain.  I look forward to more.
