Did my workout later in the day (@ 4:00), so that I could go up to the Club with husband. Thankfully, people have spring fever, so there weren't a ton of people up there. The weights went well, and I feel like I just hit my groove with them.
I did the following:
Grapevine Lunge - 3 sets of 12 using 12.5 lb weight
Sumo Squats - 3 sets of 12 using 12.5 lb weight
Bench Rows - 3 sets of 12 using 12.5 lb weight
Triceps Push-Ups - 3 sets of 12
Curl Press - 3 sets of 12 using 8 lb weights
Ball Circles - 3 sets of 12
Ball Sit Ups - 3 sets of 20
Leg Lifts - 3 sets of 20.
I had a breakthrough with my push ups and really felt good about them. I'm still doing them modified, but I felt strong.
This workout only took me 45 minutes today.
I followed it up with 30 minutes on the spin cycle. I went particularly numb after that run, followed by a moment of tingling I'm not sure was appropriate given that I was out in public - needless to say I can't wait to spin again! HAHAHAHA
Of course, my day also included a walk with the pup and what is turning into daily de-dandelioning of the yard.
We went to the fitness fair to pick up our tops and race numbers for the 1/2 marathon this weekend. I have stopped dreading it and have decided that I am looking forward to the almost 1,000 calories I will burn walk, walk, walk, walking for so many hours. The tops this year are red, and quite pretty. I used to shy away from red, because I felt like it made me too noticeable, but I will wear this top proudly!
Of course, the best part of the 1/2 marathon is that we have breakfast reservations at my Club for brunch after the walk. Ya, freakin whooooooo!!
Not much else to report. Have a healthy day!!
PS: I've found my new 4 week workout program to follow after this one. This time I will be doing a routine from Fitness Magazine, which will mostly focus on my stomach, which is where I feel I need to move my focus! I can't wait to start it!
PPS: My belly dance teacher has the name of a gal for me to call so I can get my swimsuit made for me this year. I found the one I would like in fitness magazine... I'm going to be smokin!! ;-) (see, the old me would have added, "well, relatively smokin", but not now! I'm going to be SMOKIN!!!)
Hope the half marathon went well! Look forward to hearing about it.
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me to get a swimsuit made. Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all these years!
