I was challenged by my sister-in-law to run a half marathon with her on October 30th. So today I started my training. I must admit, I haven’t really been exercising lately so I started from square one. I went to the gym, Results Gym & Fitness, to be exact. I am doing a 13 week walk/run program and today was the first day of week one.
This week has been a little more off track than usual. I was able to still get a lot of walking in on my treadmill, but I didn’t do much else in the form of workout videos. I am very happy to report that I lost 1.2 lbs this week despite not being on track as far as eating goes.
I have been both on track and off track this week, still trying to fine tune my routine. I got a TrekDesk Treadmill desk and treadmill on Wednesday and have been mainly using that since I got it.
I got my TrekDesk and set it up on Wednesday. I’ve got to tell you… if feels great to work on the computer and burn calories at the same time.
Yet another week has gone by and now it is time to track my workouts and see what progress i’ve made during the past week. My starting weight on Monday was 164 lbs and my ending weight on Sunday was 162.6 lbs. That means for all my efforts I lost 1.4 lbs during the past 7 days.
Hip Hop Abs – Ab Sculpt workout is my new favorite workout for abs. I love that it is standing work because I have always hated crunches and despised sit ups. This makes workout out my abdominal muscles so much fun. I feel like I could do the workout every single day.
I couldn’t wait for this workout to end, not because it was a tough workout, but because it was dreadfully boring and had too much complicated foot work. I like a cardiovascular challenge when I workout and this did not give it to me.
Wow, what a name for a workout! While it is spelled ‘Bum Bum’ it is pronounced ‘Boom Boom’. I’ve got to tell ya, this Brazil Butt Lift boom boom workout kicked my bum bum.
I plan to post one of these up every Sunday to provide a brief overview of my progress each week.
It will always include my workouts, some thoughts, calories burned and my body weight. This enables me to better track how things are improving over the course of a week.
Today was my first day adding in yet another program into my workout rotation. This one is called Hip Hop Abs.
