Renew me, since I am starting out so out of shape, my goals are to exhaustion. that is the only way I can meausure my progress. I seriously could only do 5 reps and I was exhausted. The next week, I could eek out 2 sets of 5...and that was it.
of course 3 days later, I was sore as all get out...which I thought was a good thing until I couldn't climb stairs or pick up the baby.
wannabe, yes, I will definitely stretch after the workout. I have a problem with the warm up stretching because like I said...I just get into it...and forget, but stretching while walking seemed to help.
I am armed with some good advice. I got in a workout today, and I will try again on Friday. Though I work Friday night. That will also give me a week to recover before work again.
I am not sure if it did anything..but I got out the double stroller in this 75 degree weather and pushed the toddler and the baby down and up a steep incline.
