It hurts to type. It hurts to walk (especially in these sandals I wore to work today). It hurts to laugh and don't even mention bending down! It hurts so bad but feels so good at the same time. Is that possible? Ha!
You see, I live with a teacher. A teacher that teaches physical education. A teacher that teaches physical education and is serious about it, like really serious. Like, so serious that sometimes I'm sure he's a drill Sergeant and not a PE teacher. Okay, maybe I stretched that a little, but when he's coaching my work outs I sure feel like he's a drill Sergeant!
I won't lie - I need the workouts and I need to get this bod toned up. Hello....its almost bikini time!! Sometimes, though, I think he forgets I'm a girl. I think he forgets that I can't run 5 miles, lift 30lb dumbbells and my stamina sucks. I think he forgets that he is helping me work out and not actually working out himself.
Yesterday I did the following;
20 minutes of alternating running/walking. I did 1 minute running and 1 minute walking.
50 push-ups. 25 standard women's push-ups and 25 hand clap women's push-ups.
20 Stair Sets - this is something Dave sort of made up for me. I run our set of 6 steps up, do a squat jump and back down the steps, squat jump then repeat.
25 reps of 3 different ab workouts
We did some weight lifts - I have no idea of the names of those but they were pure hell.
I finished with a cool down walk
An hour afterward....I was showered and in the bed! I felt good but I was worn slap out!
It it weren't for Dave, I wouldn't work out. I just don't have the drive and the push to make myself do it. I can do it and I want to do it but I desperately need someone to push me and encourage me to finish my sets and reps. I'm fortunate to have my very own personal trainer...cause people pay top dollar for that service but I'm pretty sure I'm going to tell Mr. Trainer to go easy on this gal tonight....cause I'm seriously close to dropping dead today after that workout mania last night!
You go girl!!!! I have been so SORRY about working out these last couple of weeks. Back in the fall, I was doing really good to run about 3 times a week. You have officially given me the inspiration that I needed!! ha! By the way, your flowers are GORGEOUS! I wish I had a green thumb, but I kill EVERYTHING! Love ya! Hope y'all have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAww! Thanks. I don't do anything special and I even buy the cheap potting soil! Ha! I love me some flowers though!
DeleteI only work out 3 time per week too. I don't have the will power and we usually aren't home more than 3 nights each week to fit in a workout.
Y'all have a great one too!
