Pregnancy Week 25: KB strengthening

Activity:

KB clean-press (14 kg) x 6
KB bent over rows (12 kg) x 10
Single leg deadlift (14 kg) x 10
Goblet squat (12 kg) x 10
Renegade rows (12 kg) x 5

Repeat for 10 cycles

I couldn't decide this morning what I wanted to focus on....and by the time I had come up with the above movements, I couldn't decide which I wanted to cut out. By cycle 7, I recognized that including bent over rows and renegade rows gave me a lot of repetitions with upper body pull movements! And using the 14 kg for some of the movements makes the workout more difficult than using the 12 kg (duh, I know). The interesting part of all this is how wiped out I was for the entire day; I was so tired, I didn't trust myself to drive since I didn't think I could stay awake! I got in a 1.5 hour nap during Asher's naptime, but was still dragging into the afternoon. I napped for another hour on the floor in Asher's room while he was playing in his crib, and that helped a lot (he stayed awake that entire time in his crib, but promptly fell asleep in the car after my nap). I did a lot of baking this morning....followed by more eating than I should have, and since stomach real estate is in short supply with the baby-growing these days, I didn't feel my best. Almond flour is very filling....and thus, my meals for today are quite disorganized and unbalanced...
