New Workout - "GIANT SETS"

Where do I begin about this week?

It has had it's ups and downs. I heard from Amy about my photos and she said that my body fat is higher than what my scale tells me. That really hits hard. Feels like I just got set back. So, after I moped about it for a few hours, I told myself that I work really hard and I look good... heck people we are talking about trying to be 16% body fat to START a contest diet!!!! Look, if I don't make it to that, I'm still one fit lady!

So I moved on and I'm just as motivated as ever today. Next week I get to start a whole new workout, which I am really excited about. I already tried it out for shoulders and back, and it was fun. It is called "Giant Sets". Basically, you work out about 7 different excersises, focussing on one target area. You go through each exercise one time, for about 10-12 reps, lifting HEAVY. You don't rest, and move right to the next exercise on the list. Then when you get done, take a breat and a swig of water, and start all over. You do each GIANT set four times. It won't take long, only about 25-30 minutes because you are MOVING. I mean GETTING AFTER IT. Like I said, I tried it out, and it was fun!

One not so fun change is that I have to go to a spinning class once a week now. I have to give up my step class. :( Also, the spinning class is at night, and I'm not so gung ho about going BACK to the gym after I get home from work. BUT, one plus is that I don't have to work out in the morning on those days, I can just go to the gym in the evening for the spin class. I will miss my step class though.
