What about a few minutes of jumprope or jogging to warm up? I get that psychologically you don't want it to feel like another workout so you're trying to keep it low key but a minute or 2 of either would warm you up a bit and then you could go right into the lifts.
I'm no expert but it seems that tho' the benefit might not be as much as in a regular workout, there still would be benefit and it still would be more than you would be getting otherwise. My opinion-try it and see. I'd also be sure to include some stretching someplace in the mix.
Congrats on all your progress so far. Keep up the good work!!
I have stalled out on counting calories and practically stalled out on exercise. I switched from curves to 24 hour fitness. While i think that ultimately 24hour fitness offers more options-classes, pool, all sorts of cardio and weight machines, the big problem still remains-i have to get myself there on a regular basis. I need to visit here more for inspiration.
Thanks for posting and keep up the good work.
