Best of luck to the both of you!

[sohei]

Good to have you in the challenge. Y'all are hittin it hard from the get go. Great job Juggersis!

[btimmis]

That's great you are supporting each other during this JUGGERNAUT journey! I've trained couples that work great together and too many that aren't supportive of each other! Keep each other accountable and be supportive! There is nothing better than having your significant other in your corner! Welcome Juggernauts!

[xmanmike22]

Hello Sharon! Welcome! It's outstanding that you and the hubby are doing this together! That's a great way to stay motivated and accountable.

[MsMETAL]

Welcome to the challenge! I workout with my fiance on a daily basis and I can't tell you how great it is to have that support. Also, someone to help cook the healthy meals with is awesome. Good luck to the both of you!

[MsSpidey232]

I really enjoy circuit training. How are you liking it?

I am loving it so far! It is a change of pace to what I have tried in the past and it seems to suit me better.

[MsSpidey232]

I kind of feel like I went lighter than I should have because I still had newbie aches and pains from my workout yesterday. Gotta get used to that as I am guessing it is going to be an ongoing feeling for a while. I have muscles waking up that I don't think I have ever used before. Anyway...

Warm-Up

Warm up. One-leg Lunges: 20 reps per leg
Squats: 15 reps
Push-ups: 15 reps
Side-to-side jumps: 30 seconds
Front-to-back jumps: 30 seconds
THURSDAY: CHEST AND BACK

■ Circuit 1:
Dumbbell Flye's: sets of 15,12,10,10,10 starting with 5lbs then 7.5lbs then moving up to 10lbs on the last three sets
Two Arm Bent Over Rows: sets of 15.12.10.10.10 starting with 7.5lbs and moving up to 10lbs in the last 4 sets

■ Circuit 2:
Close Grip Barbell Bench Press: four sets of 12 reps with weights 45,45,50,55lbs
Lat Pull Downs With Narrow Supinated Grip: four sets of 12 reps at 50,50,50,70lbs

■ Circuit 3:
Bar Dips: This is an area that I am going to be really excited to see improve because I am pretty sure that if my husband had been there I would not have gotten to count the 3 measly that I did each round but luckily I was working out with my friend and she felt sorry for me. At any rate I was able to scrape by with 4 sets of 3 with all of the counterweight on the machine in my favor (kind of). I have a long way to go but that's ok.
Low Row With Narrow Supinated Grip: 4 sets of 12 at 70, 70, 70, 50lbs

Each circuit was completed with a 1 minute rest between rounds.

[kremgirl]

Good luck to you and your husband!

[kennknee]

Good luck in the Challenge!!!

[MsMETAL]

Great work! You said you rest 1 minute in between rounds, but how long did you rest between sets? I've been working on keeping my rest time down and consistent. I didn't think about it too much until I started logging my workouts on my bodyspace and it asks for it.

[spidey232]

I'm so very proud of you for doing this challenge with me! we are going to totally dominate this!
Love you!

Love you!

Awe!! You're so sweet babe! Love you!

[MsSpidey232]

Great work! You said you rest 1 minute in between rounds, but how long did you rest between sets? I've been working on keeping my rest time down and consistent. I didn't think about it too much until I started logging my workouts on my bodyspace and it asks for it.

Each circuit currently calls for 2 moves. For instance, tonight's first circuit consisted of reverse lunges and straight bar triceps extensions so I did the first set of 15 lunges, went straight into the first set of extensions, then took a 1 minute rest before moving to the set of 12 and so on.

[MsSpidey232]

Good to have you in the challenge. Y'all are hittin it hard from the get go. Great job Juggersis!

Thank you! Everyone has been so supportive. I can already tell this will help keep me motivated.

What a great split! Did you create this yourself? I think you may want to add to your weights slightly... don't go too heavy to fast, but if you only feel the last few reps, try and increase the weight so you feel the burn on the last 4 or 5.
