Yeah! I did it and I feel great! There is nothing better than the feeling of a good workout. I burned 1040 calories in 1 hour 22 minutes. Whooo Hooooo! Here is what I did:
With my new running shoes on I ran 4.5 miles in 45 minutes at a 2 incline. My heart rate ranged between 148-165.
Ab Workout
Incline Bench Crunches 3 sets of 30 reps
V-up crunches on the mini tramp 3 sets of 12 each. These were hard—my tummy was burning after 9.
Windshield wipers on mini tramp 3 sets of 10 with a 5 weight held between my feet. I love doing these. I feel like a gym rat when I do them because I have never seen anyone else do them in the gym before. I like being the trend setter 🙂
Saxon Side Bends 2 sets of 15 with a weighted 3 pound ball. I am not sure I did these right. I didn’t like seeing myself in the mirror, the couple of pounds I have gained were all in my sides and this exercises really showed the roll.
I did remember to work on Inverted rows on the smith machince, these are the ones I had such a hard time doing on Sunday. I was able to increase my count to 6 and I did 3 sets. I think it helped that, that was the only arm/back workout that I did. My arms were fresh and could handle lifting my body weight. I will keep working on these.
I stretched and then walked backwards on the treadmill for 8 minutes at a speed of 3.4 incline of 3.0.
