Starving Kelly - Bring It!

I'm always talking about going to the gym and getting in my workout. And rather than talking about the weight I've lost (or not lost (stupid donut weakness)) this week, I thought I'd share today's Last Chance Workout routine. (Yes. I totally stole this phrase from Biggest Loser.) Maybe you can find a new something that you could use for yourself? Or maybe you can look at me and say, "Girl. You're so crazy!" Or maybe you could say, "Pssshaww! That's nothin'! Here's what I do!"

And then I would say, "Really? Bring it!"

And you would say, "Consider it brought!"

And the I would say....oh, never mind. I'm off track.

Here's the workout before I get more worked up.

1. Chest: Bench Push-ups: Like the picture only I put my feet on a bench. Not good if your allergies are bad like Tina's were this week and mine were last week. Everything rushes to your head and sometimes a great big loogie pops up in your throat. Great image, no?

2. Triceps: Lying Dumbbell Skullcrushers: Bonked my head twice with these. Tina, my weight training partner, couldn't stop laughing.

3. Triceps: Bench Dips: Because you can never get enough triceps!

OK. OK. I only did five. I was woozy after the Skullcrushers or as we call them, Head Knockers.

4. Back: Bent Over Rows: Today I did these with a 30/40 pound bar instead of free weights. It feels a little different, but good.

5. Biceps: Concentration Curls: I haven't done these in a long time. They were all right. But biceps are my weak muscles, and I hate working them out.

6. Shoulders: Incline Front Raises: Tina thought these were horrible. And my muscles were certainly warm after I was finished. But I didn't think they were crazy hard. However, if you are looking for an "oooooo" or an "ahhhhh" in Testosterzone, these should do the trick!

7. Thigh: One-Legged Leg Extensions: I had a knee injury a while back, and I'm still trying to recover. These are good for building the muscle around the knee to support it. And if you really want to burn the muscle out, after 3 sets of 10 single legged, switch to both legs. Owey!

8. Hamstrings: One-Legged Hamstring Curls: OK. I couldn't find a picture of the exact machine that I use. So just imagine this only me sitting up and instead of lifting my legs to my butt, I'm pushing them down to my butt. And if you want a good burn, hold your legs to your butt for a count of five.

9. Abs: Exercise Ball with a 5 pound weight: OK. These totally and ridiculously suck. But even if your a major crunching god or goddess, these will make your tummy hurt the next day. And the next.... And the next.... And possibly the next...

10. Abs: Scissors: Or maybe it was doing these after the above one's that pushed my stomach into Painland for 3 days. Maybe.

Well that was it. Where's my cardio you ask? Well, there's the whole problem with my workout. And that probably explains my needing to go to Weight Watchers as well. Oh well. Everybody has a weakness or two or three or four...
