Workout 2007 -- Week 3

This is wrapping up week 3 of my "Workout 2007" plan.  The last post I made on here was about "Super Size Me" the documentary and since then I have worked really hard to get back in shape and not eat such bad food.  I get up at 5:30 - 6:00 AM every day and go to the gym.  My exercise routine on Monday, and Thursday comprises of:
  • Run for 20 min
  • Leg Press 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 160x180x200
  • Leg Curl 3 sets 12x10x8 reps not sure what the weight is
  • Leg Extension 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 95x105x115
  • Calf Raises 3 sets 12x12x12 reps 95x95x95
  • Lat Pull Down 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 95x105x115
  • Seated/Compound Row 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 95x105x115
  • Biceps 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 65x70x75
The Tuesday and Friday workout is as follows:
  • Run for 20 min/ Sometimes swim on Friday
  • Chest Press 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 95x105x115 (discovered how weak my chest really was when I couldn't get 115x125x135 the desired reps)
  • Incline Chest Press 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 85x90x95 (refer to note above...weak!!)
  • Shoulder Press 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 70x80x90
  • Laterial Raise 3 sets 12x10x8 reps 50x65x70
  • Tricep pushdown 3 sets 12x10x8 reps not sure
  • Tircep extension 3 sets 12x10x8 65x70x75
  • Abs 3 sets 20x20x20
The Wednesday workout is as follows:
  • Run for 30 min / Swim sometimes
  • Abs 3 sets 20x20x20
Now at week 3 I have to say I am starting to feel better about myself  I have a long way to go but I hope to be stronger, have more energy (if I go to bed early enough), feel better, and have more endurance by the 8 week mark.  My body weight is staying the same but my muscle tone in my arms, chest, and legs are coming along.  My toughest areas I really have to work on is the stomach and the neck ( don't ask).

So far so good if I can keep this up and steadily improve on the reps and the weight when I reach the reps I plan on raising the weight up a notch.

Wish me luck!!
