B/f had to go to work today, so while I've got the apartment to myself, I'm having a mega-workout. I usually prefer "do it all at once" type exercises like pushups and squats, but today, I'm doing some dumbbell lifting.

- 10 minutes of stretching
- tricep extension (behind the head type): 3 sets of 9-10 each arm
- bicep curls: 3 sets of 8-10
- anterior delt raise thingies (arms straight out to the side): 3 sets of 6 or 7 - these didn't feel right; my shoulders kept popping. I'll probably find a different exercise for next time.
- weighted side bends: 10 each side (a little too easy; more weight next time)

Moving on to some pilates-style ab exercises from this site:

- Frog, but only 10 seconds, 3 reps. Man, these are brutal !
- Scarlet O'Hara (since I obviously need work!): 4 reps

Ugh!

Squats with a 12 lb backpack: 3 sets of 10
Backpack calf raises: 3 sets of 8 (this burns!)

Phew!
