I ate a little too badly yesterday and today I'm trying to make up for it. I started off by doing some core work - push-ups, sit-ups, and bicycle scissors. Any other ideas are welcome. I was able to do 100 sit-ups today, which is double what I was doing. :-) Not too shabby!
Then it was off to my arm weight lifting routine. It's nothing fancy, but I'm trying. I use an eight pound weight for my 15 minutes of arm exercises (not this one. Mine is gray with a rubber handle). I'm trying to tighten up my arms and whittle my waist a little. The goal is every other day. I'm not always successful, but I'm trying...
Then I did an exercise video.
I'm trying to do a variety of exercises, while running. I recently read that walking helps keep the muscles you use to run in shape without putting the stress of running on them. This is the only video of her's I have, but not because I didn't like it. I do enjoy using it. I have it on my workout schedule about once a week. Today, I used it without sound, which actually made it harder. LOL! It's a low-key exercise that I enjoy mixing in.
I'm debating whether to use my little stationary bike tonight as well.
Sadly, mine does not have that fancy monitor, but that's the basic bike I use. I bought one about three years ago before starting grad school. I knew that working full-time and going to school part-time would make working out hard, so I found this little bike that I could read for class and still work out at the same time. I still use it a couple days a week as an easy workout, but the one I bought in 2008 had some problems last week. The pedal kept coming off. It was time for a new one. Which was supposed to be Friday's workout, but I thought Target would have one. Nope. I was able to pick one up at Wal-Mart on Saturday, but with being out all day on Sunday I didn't get a chance to use it. So, I'm still debating doing my Friday's workout tonight. It's still possible.
