For the Pilates workout today it was Pilates flow 2. This one is mostly a seated core-focused workout doing a lot of leg lifts, leg circles, etc., mostly in combination with a crunch. Even though the workout is shorter than Flow 1, it is more challenging, and I found myself having to skip reps during more than one exercise, especially toward the end of the workout.
For Lift-4, it is back and biceps day again. This is another 50/50 workout with weights first, cardio second, and again finishing with core exercises. For this workout, you again do three circuits, for three rounds. In the first circuit, you do two back exercises. Then in the second circuit, you alternate between a back exercise and a bicep exercise, and in the third circuit, you do two bicep exercises. Again you do ten reps of each exercise with no rest between the two, and you get 30 seconds between the rounds. Then, once you are done with the resistance exercises you do three different cardio exercises for one minute, forty-five seconds, and thirty seconds respectively, and do three rounds of cardio. The workout then ends with two core-focused exercises that you do for two rounds.
This is a tough workout after the chest and triceps workout. Even though I used lighter weights in that workout, my arms are very sore today, and I suspect they will be again tomorrow. It does go by quickly, at just over 35 minutes, but it is probably the hardest workout of the bunch that I have done to this point.
