Tuesday
I stuck to my diet pretty perfectly. I worked out on our home gym on Monday and was really, really sore on Tuesday. For exercise, I did housework and just some simple body shaping exercises like leg lifts and sit ups. Today, I am going to do the circuit training again. It keeps me from getting bored and gets my heart rate up. I do this sequence 3 times and don't break in between so that it is both cardio and strength training. With the kids, I only get about 45 min. to workout, but this method is pretty effective. I did it after I had Kiley and I was toned and looked my best about 5 months after I had her. My routine is this: 3 min. on stair stepper, bench press 10X, leg raises 15X, the pull down bar thing 12X, reverse leg raises 10X, biceps and triceps with 10lb weight 10X, ab lifts with weights 10X, dancing for 3 min., step workout for 3 min., and then 2 different types of situps. I do that 3 times and all the weights on my machine are 20lbs. Each week I will add 1 min. to the cardio. Working out makes me want to eat healthy the rest of the day.

I did 45 minutes on my eliptical today and 30 minutes of toning. THis toning includes 4 different types of leg lifts lying on my side. I do 30 reps of each type. then 30 regular sit ups on the excercise ball and 30 oblique sit ups on the ball. I also did 25 push up on the ball and 25 tricep dips. I did this circuit 3 times. I ended up a littel longer at the work out today because I was watch the Biggest loser finale I had recorded.I am actually beginning to notice nthat I am getting a little stronger.
ReplyDeleteI love the eliptical! I wish I had one. Circuit training works great though. I like the eliptical because you can turn on music and lose focus on the workout. With circuits you are constantly changing it up, so you can't really think about much besides what you are doing. I haven't noticed any difference yet, but I usually tone up pretty quickly. The biggest loser is a really motivating show, especially when you are trying to lose weight.
