Morning to Night

Can't seem to get up in the morning to workout, so, at least for the past 2 days, I have been working out at night.

Monday night, I did a quick weight workout from 2006 Men's Health.  A shoulder workout.  I have weak shoulders and constantly bending over a laptop doesn't help!

- Alternating Shoulder Press - 20 pound dumbbells - hold at ears, palms in - press one arm up, back down, other arm - 10 reps each arm
- Dumbbell upright row - 20 pound dumbbell - stand straight up, let arms hang in front, palms facing body.  Pull them up, squeeze shoulder blades - 10 reps
- Standing Scaption - 10 pound dumbbell - stand up straight, arms at sides, palms facing body, raise arms 45 degrees until weights are about eye level - 10 and 2 o'clock, arms straight - 12 reps
- Incline row to external rotation - 10 pound dumbbell - incline bench, chest on it - arms hanging down palms toward body, pull straight up, then hinge elbow and rotate up so dumbbells are at your ears, palms facing the floor - 12 reps

Do all exercises, then repeat again.

Then I went upstairs and did 625 jumping jacks, followed by all of my forms from low to high, followed by 2 of each block, each arm.  After each block I did a series of different techniques.  Mostly hand, but a few feet thrown in.  Focused on those techniques I don;t normally do, trying something new.  Finding a new favorite.

Tuesday morning couldn't get out of bed.....Did a quick 15 minute workout from Men's Health, March, 2011 page 44.

- Decline pushup - toes on a bench - normal push ups - 10 reps
- Bulgarian goblet split squat - 12 pound dumbbell - held by the ball with both arms in front.  Front fighting stance with back leg on the bench, squat down until knee almost touches, then back up - 10 reps, switch legs and repeat
- Dumbbell row - 25 pound dumbbell - bend over, knees bent, back straight, arms in front, palms toward body - row up and keep arms away from chest - 10 reps
- Exercise ball rollout - on knees, wrists on medicine, hands together - roll out into almost a plank position - then roll back - 10 reps

Repeat cycle 4 times, no rest

Then I did 20 minutes on the elliptical, did cardio this time though.  Totally different workout, high then low, not quite interval, but close.  1.3 miles

Then just did Koryo and Kumgang forms.

Tomorrow I want to get up early and workout.  But we will see what happens.
