I want more muscle, more flexibility, more endurance...


Recommended Posts

more strength, more rythme, more grace, more time outdoors.

 

So how's that for a wish list?

 

What am I doing to do to get what I want?

 

 

1) Baladi 2 hours a week.

 

2) Badminton 2 hours a week.

 

3) Rock climbing (actually indoor wall climbing) 2 hours a week.

 

4) Viniyoga 1 hour per week.

 

5) Walking, hiking 6 hours per week.

 

6) Puny lightweights that I find at my gym-it's quite pathetic the amount of weight I can lift and how little I know about it-I'll try for at least 1 hour a week.

 

7) Swimming 1 hour per week.

 

I'm going to the gym almost every night for either a class or a workout. Now I'm heading off for a walk with my dogs. Hasta la vista...

Today, I kicked some butt I put on some baladi music and went to work!!!

 

I'm really happy with my workout

 

In between two rain clouds, I power walked for an hour. Plus, 30 mins on the Gazelle for my cardio.

 

Strength traIning: 20 assisted chin ups

 

3 planks held for a minute each.

 

10 frog jumps.

 

duck walking (really tough)

 

30 squat lunges

 

Stretch tubes for every muscle I could think of.

 

20 minutes of baladi.

 

1 yoga routine to stretch out at the end.

 

Total time 2.5 hours

 

I'm exhausted now so I'll watch a movie. Ciao

 

Just because I haven't been writing everyday, doesn't mean I haven't been working out. By the end of November I think I should be ready to post some before and after pictures.

Went to the gym with my family today. We played badminton for 45 minutes (no it's not a sissy activity-it's very strong cardio).

 

I did another 15 minutes of taekwan-do sparring with the gym's dummy to round out my cardio.

 

Adductor 35kg 30 reps

 

Abductor 35 kg 30 reps

 

Weighted crunches 50 reps at 30 kg.

 

I also did some balance work and stretchs. Total time 1.5 hours.

 

A little easier than yesterday, but I'm happy nonetheless.

Good day everyone!

 

Well, I'm proud of myself today and thank goodness it's also a sunny beautiful fall day.

 

What have I done so far:

 

1) 20 minutes on the rowing machine.

2) 1 hour power walk outside in the glorious sun.

3) 20 assisted chin-ups

4) 15 minutes with the stretch tubes-mostly my legs.

 

Now I'm off to my courses of baladi.

Ciao

Beautiful sunny day today.

 

So far I've power walked for one hour with some running intervals-I'm trying to incorporate more running. The woods were gorgeous today. I also did some gardening for an hour.

 

Tonight, I'm off to the gym to wall climb, swim and train with the weights.

 

Total time today: 3 hours.

Good news, I took my pedometer with me on my power walk today and I liked the results. My usual walks are 7kms long with 9877 steps.

 

Plus, I bought myself a BFI scale-although I'm not sure how accurate they are. My weight is down to 123 pounds and my BFI is 18.5%. (Down from 145 pounds in March and 165 since becoming vegan just over a year ago).

 

I'm really happy with my changes.
