Fat Loss II Rest Periods

One thing I forgot to mention earlier was that I’m already fearing the 45 and 30 second rest periods that are coming up for this program.  There were a couple of times when I looked at my watch, saw that I was already at 1minute 10seconds, and still felt like I needed to rest.  I pushed through it, though.  I think my longest rest period today was approximately 75 seconds.  We’ll see how it goes next time.

Fat Loss II

Did my first workout A of Fat Loss II this morning.  It went quite well.  I didn’t feel like throwing up until I got home.    That was weird.

I liked the workout.  I expected it to take a lot longer than it did (about 40min) since there’s one more exercise and one more set per exercise than in the break in workout.

There are two “concerns” that I have, though.  During the front squat, I felt my forearms were strained.  I don’t know if I just need to stretch them out a bit, or if I’m doing something wrong.  The other is that the Russian upper body twist felt too easy.  Again, I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if my midsection is developed enough to make this exercise easy.  The first set I did with just my bodyweight.  The second and third sets I did with a ten pound plate in my hands.  I should have probably upped the weight to a 25 pound plate.(?)  I think I’ll try that next time.

In the meantime, I’m going to investigate the forearm strain thing.  I’ll come back here with any information I find.
