Oh my, I am SO SORE from yesterday's workout. I tried a new ab exercise which I hadn't ever done before - wood chop using a rope and high cable. Today I do lower body boot camp and then teach piano in the afternoon.
I am really into cable/pulley exercises lately. I would like to do an all-pulley workout with my bf this weekend, can people give me some ideas for upper body?
I have so far:
wood chop
bicep curl on low pulley
tricep extension
cable crossover
Breakfast: blueberry yogurt, wrap
Lunch: salad, rotisserie chicken
Dinner: pepper steak, roasted veggies
Snack: iced nonfat latte

I like the pully but I hate the mirror in front of them.
No classes today, but doing some serious 'Kick' practice after grocery shopping.
Breakfast: multigrain waffles w/ fresh blueberries; rose-green tea (This waffle mix is so good its too bad you folks can get any - my family prefers to any other waffles. I get it from a local organic grain farmer - who grows everything it seems. I'm thrilled that more & more people are buying his products. Last summer I found him at the farmers' market and now most of the organic stores and some others too are carrying his stuff.)
Lunch: either a veg. wrap or # 1 Son and I'll go for Mongolian grill
Supper: veg. & bean burritos w/ fresh guacamole
Snacks: it's grocery day so its hard to say - maybe veggies & hummus; tortilla chips & salsa or guac.; fresh fruit
I am tired today! My tao bo yesterday wore me out. I did back and biceps at the gym this morning. I am scheduled to do cardio today, but may put it off since my lower body is pretty sore. I'm stuck because I kind of think that maybe if I do cardio, it'll loosen me up a bit, but my energy level seems to be really low.
I'm back at work this afternoon for more training. I suppose if I get motivated, I could always do a video at home.
Breakfast: blueberry protein pancakes
Snack: protein shake
Will have to update....
YOu can do a lot on cables, I love em.
Just a few:
Lat pull downs sitting or standing with straight arms (back)
hammer curls with a rope (bis)
reverse grip tricept extensions (tris)
overhead pull (tris)
upright rows (shoulders)
front raises (shoulders)
side curls (bis)
laying down or incline fly (chest)
abductor and adductor lifts (legs)
good mornings (lower back and butt)
hamstring curls (legs)...
sorry I don't know if the terms are right, just ask for clarification
