up to 3 sets

5 min warm-up
Strength training morning - "light" day
5 mins rowing machine
5 mins stationary bike

My first two days doing the "light" workout I only did two sets of each of the exercises, but today I was told to bump up to three sets. There is definitely a difference. My arms are feeling very tired, but good.

It's hard to not focus on cardio, and just do strength training - it goes against all my aerobicized instincts! My trainer is flexible though and says I can do 30 minutes of cardio on strength days, and then just do cardio on non-strength days. Assuming everything goes according to plan, I'll be hitting the weights Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then cardio on the other days (except Sunday - a rest day). Therefore, I won't miss my cardio too much.

Also, I love the rowing machine! It works the abs hard, and winds me like nothing else! Too bad it is boring if done for too long. It's so much more fun to actually be on the water.
