No pain, no gain!

Today was Week 1, Day 1 of my body transformation, 12 week, weight training program.

Here is what I accomplished today:

I see this the same as I see the C25k program. It will get easier each week, but still remain challenging, if that makes any sense. Gradually I will add more weight, but the moves will get easier. This is the first time that I've really done any kind of weight training and I am still learning the moves. 

Out of today's workout set, I would say that I disliked push ups the most. My upper body is still weak and I have more weight on my body that I need. I found it rather challenging on the floor, even with bent knees. For the time being, I opted to do them against the wall. My favorite in this set would have to be hyperextensions. At first I was a little intimidated by the piece of equipment. Once I got on there and actually did the exercise, I loved it! It worked lower, lower back muscles. I've never felt them burn like that. 

To sum up the day, it was great! However, my detoids and pecs are sore. As long as the muscles are hurting, I guess it's doing the trick! You know what they say:

NO PAIN, NO GAIN!
