I did my first workout B of Fat Loss II yesterday and it KICKED MY BUTT. I felt like quitting about halfway through. Right after the first set of Bulgarian Split Squats with Overhead Press. OH… MY….. GOD!!!!
I know that I didn’t adhere to the 60 second rest periods. Especially during the BSSWOPs. I don’t know what made these so hard. I started out with 10 pound dumbbells, did 7.5lbs the second set, then 5lbs the third. The problem wasn’t with the weight of the dumbbells, I don’t think. I had no problem with my upper body. It was my endurance with my lower body.
I couldn’t get through a whole 12 reps of these without pausing. Man, it burned. At the end – when I was doing these with 5lb dumbbells – I could get through the first 12 on my left leg (which is my weaker leg), but I had to pause after about six or seven reps on my right leg. I know that even though my right leg is the one on the bench during the first 12 reps, it’s still getting some sort of workout, but it was just disappointing to not be able to do 12 straight with my “strong” leg.
We’ll see how it goes on Monday. That’s when my next Workout B is.
