Week 4

Monday: I didn't work out because I had a really rough weekend and I needed to sleep that extra time. I also was very demotivated because of all of it.
Tuesday: Jari Love's Get Ripped! To the Core. I did 7 exercises, through the step ups with overhead press. I skipped the pushups. I used 3# weights on all exercises except Chest press (no hip raise), bent leg dead lift and bicep curl, and stiff leg dead lift with lateral rows where I used 5# weights. RPE 6-7. I didn't work as hard as usual, but I persevered through my tiredness and weakness today. I'm starting to see good results, though. So, I'm motivated to keep going through even the days I'd rather not even give it a shot.
Wednesday: Hip Hop Abs - 30 minute Fat Burning Cardio Workout.
Thursday: Jari Love's Get Ripped! To the Core. I did 7 exercises, through the step ups with overhead press. I skipped the pushups. I used 3# weights on all exercises except Chest press (no hip raise), bent leg dead lift and bicep curl, and stiff leg dead lift with lateral rows where I used 5# weights. Again, I didn't work as hard as usual, but I persevered through my lack of motivation. That mostly effects the lower body exercises, but I did get through it all, even though I really wanted not to even bother today.
Friday: I was at a late meeting and then stayed up working on something business related so I was in bed two hours past my bedtime. I took the opportunity this morning to sleep in one extra hour so I didn't work out. I will tomorrow, though. This week hasn't been very kind to me.
Saturday: Jari Love's Get Ripped! To the Core. I did all 7 exercises, through the step ups with overhead press. I skipped the pushups. I used 3# weights on all exercises except Chest press (no hip raise), bent leg dead lift and bicep curl, and stiff leg dead lift with lateral rows where I used 5# weights. I worked my butt off today... even though I wanted to give up I persevered. I went deep during the lower body routines and really wore myself out. Even though I wanted to skip the last exercise I did it anyway, after all it was the last one. Then, after I was all finished and rested for a few minutes I enjoyed a nice, well-earned dip in the hot tub. Now, 45 minutes later and after a hot shower, I'm still shaking from all the hard work.

It may not have been a full and hard-worked week, but I did make it through. I didn't give up and I'll look forward to a full, dedicated week next week. Week four is finished.
