Day 008 - Hit the weights
Warm-up, weights, and stretch

WARM-UP, WEIGHTS, STRETCH. Warm up with light jogging and calisthenics. Remember that any combination of these will do, as long as you break a light sweat. You can even combine the two activities by jogging 1 minute, then doing calisthenics for 30 seconds, and repeating this pattern 4 - 6 times. Next do 2 sets of each of the following exercises: dips, upright rows with a light barbell, crunches, back extensions and lunges. Notice that we're changing exercises for a given body part each week to get well-rounded development. To be sure you're using correct form, consult a trainer certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Choose stretches different from the ones you used last week but that target the same body parts.For proper stretching technique, consult a certified athletic trainer or physical therapist or a good book like Bob Anderson's "Stretching."
