Mrs. Carbonneau's thursdays workout.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know how Mrs. Carbonneaus's workout went tonight. She Did a great job with everything. She worked for about 30 min, ended with a pulse of 165 and worked up a pretty good sweat. She did her 3x30 crunches with no problem. and her 3x10 girl push ups with little struggle during the third set. As we went on to her best friend the sit-up she really started to feel it by her last two sets(5x10). as we moved onto the 3x10 curls she began to feel it, especially in her left arm. And finally to the lunges. She did great with them but the 15lb. weight was a little much for her to start out with so we moved down to a 10 for the second set and then without weight for the last. also before I got there she walked on the treadmill for about 5 min. overall i think she did a great job for her first weight session. Just letting you know Mrs. Carbonneau it will get harder as we go along but you should be getting stronger so you will do just fine. You did a great job tonight and I look forward to seeing your progress through the semester. If anyone has any questions just feel free to ask.

Wow, have I gotten old! The workout was a good one. I got there a little early so used the elliptical machine & tread meal for a total of 8 minutes (3 & 5, respectively). Next time, I'll take something to write with and make a note of the pace. I know I went 1/3 of a mile on the treadmill. Then along came James who showed no mercy! Well, he did let me drop some of the weights while doing the lunges. I still can't believe I can't do real situps. I'm sure I used to be able to do those. Oh, well, that's a good goal. I'm not sure there's any point in increasing them until I start to get them right but then y'all are the scientists! My legs are pretty wobbly and I'm sure I'll be really sore tomorrow (will let you know) but the workout was a good one. Thanks, James! Good luck tomorrow in Greenville.
