Day 3 of Fitness Training (exhaustion)

Oh man, I am exhausted. I wasn't actually sore after this weekend. My glutes and hip flexors were pretty sore, but I was pretty game for todays session.

All that changed after the first warmup...and went pretty downhill:

Session 3's routine:

On-My-Own "pre" warmup - Elliptical for 7 minutes at resistance of 8
--Start--
2x2 walking up 25 stairs, walkdown,  - 3 sets
Running up 25stairs, walking down, - 3 sets
Close Grip Lat Pulldown, 30lbs, 3 sets, 10 reps
Goblet Squat with 20lb weight, 3 sets, 10 reps
Low incline chest press, 3 sets, 60lbs, 12 reps
Leg curl, 70lbs, 3 sets 10 reps
Lateral squats, 2 sets, 20 reps (left hip flexor started tensing up)
Shoulder Press, 15lbs each arm, 3 sets, 10 reps (this was gruelling, my arms were so tired, I barely did the last set cleanly)
Tricep extension with rope weight, 27lbs, 3 sets 10 reps (again, very ugly 3rd set)
-lower back started tightening up
Bicep curl with rope weight, 25lbs, 3 sets, 10 reps (not too bad)

Then did a hip flexor stretch in what deemed as the "proposal stretch" except this time, George told me to point the toe that was on the leg on the floor inward and then pushing my hip forward to create a really sharp stretch (quick google search names this stretch the "kneeling hip flexor stretch)

Afterwards, got a foam roller to do a bunch of different rolls for the hip:

Hip flexor
(this other tender muscle thats right below the hip flexor) --- so painful
Quads - this was very excruciating.

Didn't feel nauseous but very exhausted. It may just have been a while, but I genuinely dont remember being so burnt out midworkout. I mean, I yield that it is due to the out of shape factor, so I'll lay optimistic in the fact that it will get better, but it just seems all my weights are super low and everything hurts so much.

WHY COULDNT THIS BE EASY STAN!

Tomorrow is just a cardio/stretching day.
George is going to write me up my own workout to do one my own (similiar to what I listed for above on Wednesday)
Friday is our next session.

Cheers
