Workout Update: Lift 4/Beginner Pilates Doubles Day 46

Day 46 was Flow 2 in Pilates and a shoulders and arms circuit workout in Lift-4. In the circuit workout (again meaning no HIIT cardio) there are three blocks of three rounds of four exercises, alternating between a shoulder exercise, a biceps exercise, and a triceps exercise.  After you do the third block, you do three burnout rounds doing a shoulder exercise (swimmers), a biceps exercise (full curls), and a triceps exercise (triceps push-ups), each for 30 seconds with no rest between the exercise sets. Then you finish off with three rounds of alternating core-focused exercises. It is another very tough workout, and because you are going so fast from set to set, it does not take much weight at all in order to get you to failure. I had to reduce the amount of weight I was using on the last set or two for a few of the exercises, and I definitely felt like I could not do another rep by the time the third round was over for each exercise.
