I've been doing three weight lifting workouts a week. All with dumb bells.
Each workout is exactly the same except more weight as I get stronger and more pull ups.
All are 2 sets of 10 reps. Rest between super sets is as long as I need. Anywhere from a few seconds to a couple minutes depending on the day and if Baby Muddy let me sleep the night before.
Superset One:
Clean and press from the floor.
Straight Leg Deadlift
Superset Two:
Upright Rows
Squats
Superset Three:
Chest press without incline
Lat pull-downs
Last- as many pull ups as I can do. Currently I'm doing three assisted pull-ups in a row.
I'm pretty weak right now. My pregnancy and back problems have really limited my workouts this past year and a half. It's sad to see what I'm lifting now compared to two years ago. I used to be able to squat at least my body weight, now it's only about half my body weight :(. I'll get there though.
I haven't missed one weight workout yet but I have missed a lot of my cardio workouts. I spun on my pole the other day and barely made it 15 minutes and did ride my bike one day. But I should be doing cardio 2-3 times a week too. I'm hoping the ground outside will get clear of ice soon so I can get running. I have some catching up to do. My other two team members (who run together) are already doing 10k without rest breaks. Since I don't start running for the year till the ground is clear of ice, it might be a couple more months for me before I start running. Our first run is in May. I just hope I can keep up with them!
