Down the Rabbit Hole!

I had to do workouts around everyday life today, but I was proudd of myself for making it fit in my schedule!

I’ve def noticed that this week isn’t as hard as the 1st (last week).
Here’s what I did today:
1 ab circuit 4 reps
25 girl push ups
25 crunches
12 regular push ups
11 minutes on the tread mill at 3mph
4 minutes at 2 mph

Holy crap! It feels like I started all over again today. Increasing feels great!
All my normal burns are back!!
Noticed that I had a bit of difficulty doing the extra 2 regular pushups, but my arms feel very good with the burn still tingling!!
Doing the extra 5 girl push ups was interesting, didn’t find it all that difficult, but did notice an increased burn when I did them!
I also noticed when I finished the treadmill that I didn’t feel near as exhausted when I was done!
I love this, I’m building endurance!
Also, noticed that I have a extremely increased appetite, eating more meals and snacks than my normal 1 a day now!
It def feels weird to be this hungry so often lol
I love this feeling! I really feel great!
I have to thank RO for all this, I finally have a healthy addiction, and I love it!

All I can say, is give me more! lol

Thanks for your support,

So, today is day 3 of the workouts and I can tell a lot of difference from when I started last Wednesday.

But first, here’s what I did today:
2 ab circuit 2 reps (done at different times, not consecutively)
20 girl push ups
20 crunches
10 regular push ups
10 minutes at 3 MPH
4 minutes at 2 MPH
arms still feel the burn, but think its come time to up the ab circuit reps, not really feeling much, if any burn now.
Only did 10 regular push ups because I worked with Taylor on perfecting my crunch and girl push up stance.

I was really sad when the normal 2 rep ab circuit didn’t give me that satisfactory burn that I have become a customed to.
Wednesday will be known as increase day!!
This means that I will do the following:
Increase the ab circuit to 4 reps
Increase my treadmill time by 1 minute
I will increase my regular push ups by 2
Increase my girl push ups by 5
Increase my crunches by either 2 or 5, I have to see which will be better.

So, really that is the biggest thing for the workouts today 🙂

I am anxious to up my workout on Wednesday!!

I was talking to RO at some point between yesterday and today, and I felt sort of smug that my legs weren’t sore.
Well, lets say that they sought to prove me wrong when I got on the treadmill today! Man, did I feel that burn, more than Wednesday, and I hope this means that those muscles are waking up!
So, here’s today’s workout:
1 ab circuit 2 reps
5 regular push ups
20 girl push ups
20 crunches
4 minutes at 2MPH
10 minutes at 3 MPH
So, I cut down my overall total time on the treadmill today because:
1. I had to make a 2 minute break last time to make the whole overall 20 minutes
2. My legs just were on fire once I got started and didn’t want to push my luck!

So, I made a few observations after workouts today…
My pecs felt the burn today more than arms like on Wednesday with push ups.
My abs def felt it with the ab circuit and crunches today. (this must mean those muscles are awake right? lol)
I sleep so much better on the night of a workout, maybe it’s because I’m getting everything tuckered out and expending a lot of energy!
And like I also pointed out, my legs certainly made a liar out of me once I got going on the treadmill.
One other thing, I noticed a huge difference today from Wednesday.
I actually got to eat before this treadmill round, and I don’t feel nearly like I did on Wednesday. This means I don’t feel nearly as close to death as I did then lol.
I scrounged up a few more line dancing songs in case I want that option, and not sure what I’ll do with 2 off days in a row!
I may find some kind of excersise to do on my off days, but I’m not pushing it. Every person’s body needs down time, even if I don’t want it.
See you all on Monday!

So, today was the first day of workouts.
This made me realize that I was really in no shape but round! HAHA!
So, here’s what I did!
1 ab circuit at reps of 2
20 crunches
10 sit ups
20 girl push ups
5 regular push ups
1 round of the “cha cha Slide”
and
16 minutes on the treadmill at 3 MPH
and
4 minutes on the treadmill at 1 or 2 MPH
plus normal stretches!
I think my body is in a bit of shock, but I can already tell you that I feel better!

Thanks RO for helping me out!
This is awesome!

Can’t wait till Wednesday, think I’ll up my Ab Circuit reps to 3 and see how that goes!
