Failing to meet my underachieving goal of going to the gym twice a week, on the first week I tried, was awful. I know I can do better than that. So this week started strong.
Monday:
Keeping up with the push-up challenge! On Monday I did them all on my feet, no modified. I did 25, 10, 12, 12, 15. So halfway through the month and I'm halfway to my goal! I think I could've probably done 30 if I was really trying to max out. I feel like I'm starting to notice a difference in how my arms look too. I also threw around some of my cheerleaders at their end of the year fun practice.
Tuesday:
Gym date with the boyfriend!
- 10 minutes walking on the treadmill
- Adductor and abductor machines (3 sets of 12 each)
- Squat machine (2 sets of 20), point toes at top to work calfs
- Hanging leg raises for abs, alternating bent knees with pike position (3 sets of 15)
- Some jumping switch lunges (2 sets of 15)
- 20 minutes on the treadmill, 2 miles. I originally wanted to run a 5K but I was really bored and decided I was just going to do 2 miles. Since I was planning on running 3 miles I was running at speeds between 5.6 and 6.0, but when I decided to cut my run short I really wanted to finish in 20 minutes. So I hauled it and kept ramping up my speeds over the last 4 minutes. I ran the last 2 minutes at 8... which was intense!
I felt great when I finished.
How's your week going? Did you fit in any workouts?
I need to partake in this push up challenge (a little late to the party haha). B and I have started a "let's not be lazy over the winter" challenge of our own...I made around 60 slips with mini exercises on them and we pull one out each day to do together. Starting this Monday, hoorah!
