Resistance Strength Training: Week 1 (starting 4.10)

Started on last Saturday, I have been going to the fitness center to work on my strength training to help rebuild the muscle tone I lost during pregnancy. It took me three sessions to really figure out where I am in terms of strength. My plan is to do strength training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I warm up on the treadmill for about 5-10 mins before getting started. Here are my numbers (set.reps.amount of weight):

Saturday (4.10)
Leg Ext: 3.20.50
Leg Curl: 3.10.30
Row: 3.25.40
Chest Press: 3.10.20
Shoulder Press: 3.10.10

Monday
Leg ext 3.12.80
Leg Curl 3.10..30
Row 3.10.60
Chest 3.10.30
Shoulder 3.10.10

Wed
Leg Ext 3.10.100
Leg Curl 3.10.40
Row 3.10.60
Lat Pull 3.10.60
Chest 3.10.30
Incline 3.10.20
Shoulder 3.10.20*1.10*2
Abs

I am generally do some type of exercise even if it is for 10-15 minutes everyday although my goal is to strength train 3x a week and do cardio 6x a week with a day of complete rest from exercising (preferably on Sundays). To be honest, I get bored easily with the cardio part of my exercise routine. I have several workout DVDs but once  I have done them so many times, I really don't want to do them anymore for a long time. I finally mastered my hip hop workout DVD so I am quickly losing motivation doing that and I can't find my salsa/tango dancing DVD. I think I let someone borrow it but forgot who.

But  I will try to update my stats weekly to see my progression. My updates probably won't be as elaborate as this post.  Just straight to the point as I will be keeping track via my blackberry as I work out and sent straight from my phone to my blog.
