Gym Workout

Notes

Warm Up:
Joint rotations - full body
Shoulder rehab movements - 10x 5lbs
Hamstring swings - 5 per leg
Stripper stretches - 3x 20 secs
Russian twists - 6 reps
Burgener Warm Up - Iron bar, 4x each movement

Glad I included the stripper stretches as my warm up. Definitely helped get the hips opened up. I think I need to keep doing timed squats/stripper stretches to loosen up hips and ankles.

Went pretty heavy on my work out, comparatively speaking. If I'm going to see improvements in my health and strength, then I need to push my exercise routine. At the same time, I'm working on my eating as well.

Did Kettlebell swings (35lb x 50) after my weights as a way to include a bit more cardio in my day. Seems like it's something that's easy to add, and a quick addition to any workout. I chose 50 reps since I was breathing hard at 40, then threw in an extra 10. I switched hands as I did my swings, with about 10 per hand. Final 10 I split between both hands.

Cool Down:
Pull up hangs x10 - a way to improve my grip strength as well as working on a pull up progression.
It band stretch 3 x 10 seconds.
Hip stretch complex
