I will look for the arm-bike the next time I go to the gym. Today's rest day was schedule-enforced, but I plan on dancing my little rear off at the wedding i'm going to tonight...well, unless my knee still hurts. Then I'll just sort of sway.
I skipped the gym tonight it was SO hot! I was really worried about my dogs who were at home in their crates. An excuse not go to the gym, maybe? (Dogs were fine...hot, but fine). I couldn't face checking in and saying I didn't do anything today, so I did my yoga dvd. I totally feel it everywhere! Tomorrow, back to the gym! The plan is: arm/shoulder weight lifting and cardio.
Well, it looks like I can't do any exercise for at least two weeks. I hurt my ankle and the doctor said I shouldn't put pressure on it until the pain goes away.
I'm depressed about this because for the first time in my life I'm enjoying exercising and now I can't do it. These next two weeks will be long indeed.
Dear lord, I am sweating like a pig. I did my arm weight routine right after work, had some dinner, then warmed up with 5 minutes of rowing.
THEN I started prgram 1 of the "buns" workout on the "I Want That Body" DVD. I hadn't done it for a while and it kicked my ***. I think I'll be moving my workouts to the a.m. so I can get through it easier. Damn!
Today I actually lost track of time while I was exercising! I went out trail running and it was pretty hot so I only planned (and expected to make it) for 30 minutes but by the time I got back to my car I'd been out for an hour and 5 minutes! Usually I'm pushing myself to get enough time in and this time I had no idea I was exercising so long! (yeah I was pretty damn tired by the time I was done but it felt good!)
That's probably wise advice you're giving yourself there, Amanda. I have had similar epiphanies
I had a great workout today! I very much felt the need to get in a good calorie deficit.
52 mins treadmill (500)
lower body strength (95).
I suspect my legs will exact their revenge tomorrow, but for now I feel great!
