I started up a new strength routine today. Here's how it goes:
1. Hindu squats (demonstrated starting at 1:20 of this video)
2. Military press with dumbbells
3. Feet lifts (demonstrated at 4:13 of this video)
4. Bent-over rows with a dumbbell
5. Lateral abdominals (demonstrated at 3:52 of this video)
The first day of a new strength routine is always something of a dry run, where I go fairly easy to give my muscles a chance to adapt to their new jobs and I also make sure I've got the correct technique down. It looks like my biggest challenge in this routine will be the feet lifts: I've never been much good at acrobatic/gymnastic stuff. My difficulty doing this exercise today is also probably a sign that the relevant muscles are weak, so it'll be satisfying if I can get better at it in the coming weeks.
