Today’s 43 was a double – upper and lower body parts all in one fun move!  I did a curtsy lunge with a front raise.  The front raise was a killer!!! (I used an 8 pound dumbbell for all 43).

Start with all of your weight on the front leg (in the heel) and the dumbbell (if you want to use one) in the same hand – right & right or left & left.

Lunge back and to side while lifting arm in front.  Lower arm as you push off of front heel to return to start.  I did 43 on my right side and then 43 on the left side.

The really funny thing about my 43 and the rest of my work-out….same muscle groups – Good Times!!!  I did Chalean Extreme ( Beach Body) Push Circuit 2 – all shoulders and lunges!!!  The happy news – I actually lifted 17.5 pound dumbbells on all of the different overhead shoulder presses today.  That is my record!!!  The reason I can do the 1/2 pound increment is I use these weights (Bowflex).

 

They can adjust from 5 pounds to 52.5 pounds – a true space saver!!!

 

 

 

 

 

After lifting I decided to run again today.  I rarely run 2 days in a row anymore because of injury issues.  However, I’m having a test later today (still on my problem hip) so I probably won’t run again until I learn the results of the test.

I ran a 5K.  It was pretty good – should have started faster!!!

5K – 17:48

Happy Monday!!!
