♥ SMART Quest ♥ Wed. May 18, 2011

Week 10, Day 3
My SMART Quest for today is:  Try and keep looking ahead.  I feel as though I am not seeing the results as quickly as last time, but I do see a difference in the mirror on my arms. shoulders, etc.  I have to stop worrying about the scale.  Let it GO!!!

Sleep:  5 3/4 hours.  Went to bed at 11:15 pm, woke up at 5:00 am.
Awoke: 5:00 am

Warm Up: 5:25 am

12 push ups

20 squats

20 spiderman climbs

30 jumping jacks

Completed 2 rounds! I continue to add extra reps to my warm up to get my heart going!

Workout: 5:30 am

Today I am doing Scott Colby's Weight Based Interval Training 2, week 10, from Ageless Abs 2 Program! Since this is HEAVY Weights, I will once again NOT be adding extra reps but will be going ALL out and as heavy as I can for the reps.

Metabolic Explosion Phase - Week 10
Weight Based Interval Training # 2

8 Count Bodybuilders x 8 (Bodyweight exercise)
DB Squat to Y Press x 8 with 2 - 23.5 lb DB's, 2 - 21 lb DB's, 2 - 21 lb DB's, 2 - 21 lb DB's

DB Squat with Bent Over Rear Raise x 8 with 2 - 16 lb DB's for all 4 rounds

I was able to complete 4 rounds in 22:38 minutes.

R#1 - 6:06, R# 2 - 5:51, R#3 - 5:33, R#4 - 5:08
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. Rest only as needed

I finished this workout with a 5 minute Couplet Finisher #1

Push Ups until you can't do any more - 30, 18, 16 reps per round
Squat Jumps until you can't do any more - 40, 30, 39 reps per round

As many rounds as you can in 5 minutes

For some reason, I like this workout.  It is difficult but i was able to bump up the weights in most areas or at least stay the same.  I was super sweaty!  Good Stuff! I could really feel those push ups at the end.
