Lunchtime Shoulder Workout

Shoulder Workout at the Gym

Hit my favorite place, Today's Fitness in Burlington, MA for a shoulder workout at lunchtime today. I wanted to get in a decent lifting workout with all the running I have been doing lately and today was a good opportunity with no scheduled meetings between 11am - 2pm. I only went from about 12-1, but it's always a pain rushing right to the gym after a meeting or rushing back to catch the start of one.

I started off in the free weight area with some stretching after I dropped a 10 pound plate because my hands were slippery! My first exercise were standing shoulder dumbbell raises of 25-20-15-10. I then did sitting overhead shoulder dumbbell raises of 35-40-45. I also did dumbbell shrugs of 55-65-75 lbs. Afterwards, I did long bar lat raises of 50-55-60. I finished the day off with machine assisted overhead press of 65-75-85.

Not great in terms of weight, but I did get the work in and feel good about it.

2.03 Mile Treadmill Run in 16:23

Got to the gym early this morning for a treadmill workout and some weight lifting. After I stretched out I decided to run 2 miles on the treadmill before heading downstairs to lift weights. I ranged from 7.0 - 8.5 on the 2 mile run, and ended up finishing it in 16:23 for an average pace of 8:04/mile.

After the run I headed downstairs and lifted weights for a little while. I focused mainly on shouders, though I got in some chest and ab work as well. Good pre work workout.
