100's
1. Bicep curls, 10#: 9 rounds of 10 reps, 1 round of 30= 120
2. Triceps kickbacks, 12#: 9 rounds of 10 reps, 1 round of 30= 120
3. Incline biceps curls, 8#: 9 rounds of 10 reps, 1 round of 12= 102
3. Side lateral raises, 10#: 9 rounds of 10 reps, 1 round of 15= 105

I went up on the weight in every exercise and added a bicep exercise. I am happy to say that I was "feeling" this workout for days. Going to failure on the last round was awesome, I killed it!

Abs/core
1. Sit-ups (on ball), 10#: 34/36/39
2. Elbows- plank: 1:15/1:30/1:36
3. Reverse crunch (curl-up), 10#: 34/35/36
4. Crunch (super slow): 45/51/53

I beat my PR on the plank by 6 seconds.. yeah, I know that doesn't sound like much, but it was the longest 6 seconds of my life! Ok, that's a stretch.. but, woohoo!
I added 10# to the sit-ups, trying to get more definition in the abs.
This is a great workout for me, I always feel it for several days afterwards. My abs are always sore to the touch, top, middle and lower, and of course... I love this. ;-)

Plus: 45 minute post dinner walk with the husband. :)

Legs- 150's
1. Dead lift w/ 65#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/20
2. Lunge w/ 35#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/20

15 rounds, 2 exercises per round, 10 reps each except final round= KILLER. But Awesome. The program calls for 60 seconds rest between rounds and towards the end I was sitting down between each set, trying to reserve my strength. I'm proud of myself here. This was tough for me, but I got 'er done. :-)

100's
1. Deadlift, 70#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/20=110
2. Lunges, 40#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/24=114

I do all of one exercise before I go to the next. I do the 10 reps, rest one minute and then 10 more and so on. Actually I typically fold clothes in the 'down time,' lol the benefit of working out at home just across the way from the laundry room. On the last set, I go to failure. I really prefer these to high weight/low volume sets, my body seems to respond to this style of training better, or maybe I'm a wuss.. but anyway I'll still mix it up from time to time. :-)

2. Triceps kickbacks, 15#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10
3. Shoulder press, 15#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10
4. Incline biceps curls, 10#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10
5. Side lat. raises, 10#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10
6. Front lat. raises, 10#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10

So the weight is supposed to be lower than your norm because of the amount of reps. For the upper body stuff, I do all 6 exercises before taking a break. Things really start to heat up around the 6th set, fun stuff!!

Abs
1. Sit-ups on ball: 20
2. Elbow plank: 1:15

I started feeling really ill at this point in my workout so I came back an hour or so later and did 2 rounds of the following:

1. Sit-ups (slow): 50
2. Leg lifts (slow): 50
3. Cable crunches: 50
4. Sit-ups on ball, 15#: 50

It stinks to get sick right in the middle of a workout, but one of the benefits of working out at home is being able to pick right up where I left off, whenever I'm able to.

Legs, 3 rounds

1. Step-ups with 2 18# weights: 20/22/25
2. Kick-backs (2 different angles), 5# each leg: 30/30/36
3. Wall sits: 1:01/ 1:08/ 1:13

Still not feeling well and short on time, I focused on doing stuff I rarely, if ever, do. No surprise, I didn't 'feel much' the day after this workout. :-)

2. Leg extension/roll-up/rev. crunch: 27/26
3. Russian twist(chair): 30/34
4. Russian twist(floor): 30/34

The Russian twists are pointless for me without added weight. Live and learn. The reverse crunches are always killer. :-)

This workout was done in a real gym with my niece, it was wild! I've never worked out in a gym before so it was really different for me and I was very sore the day after. I soooo wish I had access to a leg press more often. :-)

100's
1. Deadlift, 70#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/20
2. Squat, 65#: 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/15

I really like doing 100's (and then going to partial failure on the last set). I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I get a little break in between sets and it just works for me, but reduced weight and added reps just seem right for this gal. And I always feel it hardcore the next day. :-)
