I'm actually noticing a change in my body! I haven't been doing these hard workouts for very long, but I'm noticing some toning happening! I highly doubt that anyone else will notice yet, but I do! Obviously, I flex my biceps in the mirror every morning when I get home from the gym, and I'm noticing a difference there.. I also noticed that the extra pooch on my stomach seems to be diminishing and my abs are getting a little more firm. Not a 6-pack by any means - but we're moving in the right direction!
I went to the gym by myself this morning (by the way, I've decided to just stop depending on other people to show up with me at 5am) and completed the Friday workout efficiently - which, after I looked at it.. is not quite as I described it yesterday, see below:
EXERCISE | REPS | SETS |
BALL CRUNCHES | 20 | 1 |
SISSY PUSHUPS | 10 | 1 |
DUMBBELL LUNGES | 15 EA. LEG | 1 |
WALL-SITS | 1 MINUTE | 1 |
DUMBBELL SIDE BENDS | 20 EA. SIDE | 1 |
DUMBBELL FLYS | 10 | 1 |
DUMBBELL TRICEP KICKBACKS | 15 EA. ARM | 1 |
DUMBBELL LATERAL CIRCLES | 10 FW/10 BW | 1 |
1 ARM DUMBBELL BENT OVER ROW | 15 EA. ARM | 1 |
BARBELL CURLS | 15 | 1 |
BARBELL HIGH PULLS | 12 | 1 |
FLUTTER KICKS | 30 SEC | 1 |
Since I was only doing 1 set of everything, it went very quickly! SO I decided to throw in an additional 25 minutes on the Elliptical! I did the "Weightloss" program which is just 5 minute intervals (low intensity/high intensity). I felt great afterward! Ready for a shower, but great! :)
Depending on what we have going on this weekend, I might try to squeeze in 1 workout either tomorrow or Sunday. I'm excited to start a new routine Monday! Branden believes that I should switch my workout every 2 weeks, so my muscles don't get too accustomed to what I'm making them do, because that's when they stop progressing. Makes sense!
Well, that's about all that I have for today! You'll notice that I didn't post my menu for today, because it's pretty much up in the air right now.. I had my protein shake and 1/2 WW bagel for breakfast and will have an apple w/ pnut butter for a snack but we desperately need to go grocery shopping so I'm out of my regular foods! I'm going to try to keep it healthy though - weigh-in tonight! :)
Have a great weekend!
