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.

I found out that I’m apparently doing the front squat correctly. I guess I’m just not used to it. It was recommended that I stretch my forearms to help with the strain. I will definitely be doing that.
