Workout with trainer

Worked out with trainer today to make up for missing Monday during Spring Break.

Elliptical workout ; 25 minutes
5 minute warmup at L4 ; every 2 minutes increase a level ; at 15 minutes do 2 hits of 30 seconds with 30 second rest in between ; try to keep at 60 RPM

For some reason this was harder today. I think it had to do with not eating my 1 oz. of cheese and wheat thins about a half hour before I worked out. Or maybe it was the donut I had.

Strength training
Ball squats ; 12 reps / 2 sets with 5 lbs. dumbbells ; do a biceps curl at bottom of squat
Side extensions ; 12 reps / 2 sets with 7 lb weights ; lift slowly and hold arms out straight even with shoulders ; for more difficulty ; bring weights together and touch in front of chest ; lower to waist and then repeat backwards. Keep core tucked in and tight.

Lie on bosu only upper back, head touching; back and butt should be straight and level with mat. Do Shoulder flies with 7 lb weights. Start arms holding weights over head ; bring slowly down to shoulder height. Keep arms slightly curved entire time. 12 reps / 2 sets.

Lying on the ground, legs spread apart, curl slowly up with right arm reaching to ceiling. Touch right hand to left toes. Slowly curl back down and repeat with left arm to right leg.

Stretch for 5 minutes.
