Today was not so hard to get up and go. Just a little tightness in my legs, but nothing severe! Tomorrow may be another story as today was tough on the arms and the legs. I am sure I will feel what we did today tomorrow morning.
My confidence was boosted a bit this morning when my trainer asked me if I did sports in high school, since I was so athletic and had such great form. I of course thanked her and proceeded to explain that I rowed in crew for a year and a half in college. That was a bit of an ego boost though.
Today my toughest cardio was jogging 20 steps, 20 shuffles, and then 20 jumping jacks. We did this combo for 15 minutes. My calves were on FIRE!!! We did some chest weight today too that still have my arms shaking like a leaf!
Overall, a great workout though and I continued today to jog whenever she wanted us to walk, jog, or run! Pushing as much as possible to see the best results!
Something else that I have been introduced to this week is http://www.myfitnesspal.com .
This is an awesome site to log in your food intake for the day and your exercise and track the calories you've eaten versus the calories burned. It is very helpful to have a calorie tracker for when you are exercising to make this work though. I have a calorie tracker on the new watch pedometer I got from Target. Anyway, check this site out. You put your weight, height, and desired weight, and then the amount of exercise you are willing to do per week. Then it will calculate the amount of calorie intake you need to stick to so that you can reach your goal! It helps keep you on track! Great FREE program!
Until tomorrow...I know I will be sleeping well tonight...if not taking a nap in the middle of the day.
To your health!
Yay Susan! this is awesome. great work. i'm counting on you to keep me motivated!
