Yesterday, I worked out for almost an hour and a half. It was SO amazing. Up until a week ago, I had been using machines for all of my weight lifting for several reasons:
1. It helps with form
2. I don't have a workout partner so it is much safer since I don't have a spotter
3. Its quicker
But, I made the switch to free weights and holy crap, what a difference.
Free weights force you to use your core a lot more. It also forces your to not only focus on motion on the exercise, but also on stabilization of the weights which brings "quick-fire" muscles into the equation. It is a huge difference from my first two months on working out, but I am happy I made the switch.
Here is what all I did yesterday:
Bench Press - Chest
Abs
Lat Pulldowns - Back
Abs
Incline and Decline Bench - Chest
Abs
Rows - Back
Run - 1.7 Miles
- Burned 370 calories!
I am going back today to hit the arms!
