Exercise & Measurements
All of those who know me know that I hate exercise. Hate it with a passion. Even though I know that once I've finished my routine, I feel wonderful, I still hate doing it.
Well, I decided yesterday to give exercise a chance. I'm going to attempt the Abs Diet Weekly Workout. It includes 6 days of exercise 3 of which are strength training.
I walked on the ET for 22 minutes yesterday - and felt great afterwards.
Today here's what I planned on doing:
Traditional Crunch* 12-15
Bent Leg Knee Raise* 12-15
Oblique V-up* 10 each side
Bridge* 1 or 2
Back Extension* 12-15
Squat 10-12 (2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Bench Press 10 (2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Pulldown 10 (2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Military Press 10 (2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Upright Row 10 ((2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Triceps Pushdown ((2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Leg Extension (2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Biceps Curl 10 (2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
Leg Curl 10-12 (2 sets, rest 30 seconds)
I got through all the ab exercise and 1 set of each additional before stopping. I had to stop or I was going to pass out. But it took me 20 minutes to get done what I got done so I'm excited about that. I'm going to take this one exercise at a time, listen to my body, and stop when I need to.
Just finished an apple and am drinking my 2nd bottle of water for the day.
Whew! Thank goodness tomorrow is a cardio day. LOL
ETA: OMG!!! I've been at WW again for a month - exercise, eating right, etc. I know it's working because I've lost 5 lbs.
But on top of that - in 1 month, I have lost 8.5 inches from my total body and 3 inches from my WAIST and 2 inches from my CHEST. These are big ones for me!! I'm sooooooo excited!!! Anyway, had to share this accomplishment. I retook my measurements on January 15th. I figure that the 11th is close enough to remeasure.
Here's to losing! As Karrie says, Onward and Downward!
