Pre-30 day: January 21st

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.  The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."  Thomas A. Edison

Update from yesterday:
My hamstrings are really tight. Owie!  I had to roll on a foam roller to ease the tension.  

Today's task: A Workout
Power Pairs Dumbbell Workout from Women's Health Magazine Online

This workout comprises of a 20 minute circuit of 8 exercises; each of which works 2 muscle groups at the same time.  The workout intends to help total body toning and to tone the body efficiently.

The Exercises:
1) Reverse Lunge with Rotation and Biceps Curl

2) Deadlift to High Pull

3)  Stability-Ball Triceps Extension

4) Plank Hold and Single Arm Row

5) Squat with Leg Abduction and Lateral Raise

6)  Hamstring Curl with Chest Press

7)   V-Sit Incline Press

8) Side Plank with Rear Fly.  

I really felt the work in this workout routine.   I was happy to know that the exercises were efficient and made my workout short and sweet.  I would definitely do this total-body toning workout again.
