I'm in an updating frenzy. Remeber how I said I was sore yesterday? Mind you this was rigth after working out too. Well that was a lie, because the pain I feel today is what REAL soreness is about. Its amazing that I can be this sore without using weights. My ass, my arms, moy outer thighs and my ribs/abs are killing me today. So today I can only work out the other body parts that arent't dying. So today I will work lower abs, inner thighs, upper back if I can find a way...any suggestions?) and possibly biceps. I figure I should include what excatly I've been doing these past few days to make myself so sore. I am actually a very strong girl. When I went to the gym I would do 2 sets of 10 reps each on all of the weight machines. Triceps I would lift 30-40 pounds on at least 2 different machines for a total of 40-60 reps. Biceps would be like 50 pounds, smae with upper back. Leg machines were between 40 and 120 pounds depending on the machine. The ones for the back of the legs I used lower weights, my hamstrings are so weak! :-(
Anyway I've been doing some pilates/yoga stuff. I do the plank which is lifting your body into a push up position and holding for 30-60 secs each rep. A wing plank invloves you holding the plank position and lifting one leg at a time and placing your foot on the inner knee area of the other leg, then pointing the knee out and holding. I Do a mixture of that which is regular plank 30 secs, wing plank, right side 30 secs. rest 30 secs. regular plank, wing plank left side. rest 30 secs amd repeat 3 times on each side. Kills my arms and abs.
I also do the warrior pose which is hard to explain here, with a few modifications. And the tree pose which involves balancing on one foot with knee pointed out and arms abovr head. I do some floor work that works my outer thighs. All in all the pilates tkaes me 20-30 minutes depending on how long I can hold some of the poses.
I also do a lunge routine where I do a variety of lunges that totals between 60-120. I do puships--I can do 10 regular pushups and almost 10 "tricep" pusups. The tricep pushups are like the regular ones except you put your hands together on the ground and for a triangle with your hands. The index fingers should touch and so should your thumbs to make the triangle. This turns your arms out so that you are working the triceps.
I also do these crunches called "the 100s" They involve lifting your legs off the ground either totally stright up in the air (easiest) or at an angle to the ground (very hard!) and holding them there while you press up with you abs lifting your shoulder blades off the ground. Your amrs should be parallel to the ground. You are supposed to hold up for 5 counts and down for 5 but I can't come close to that so I just go up and hold and release. 50-100 of those. If I do 50 than I then do 50 regualr crunches too.
I do some other rnamdom things depending on what body parts i need to work on, but these are my faves.
A lot of these workouts came from Shape magazine so I would recommend checking it out. I feel fitter already!
Unfortunately I dont have any good cardio yet. I know some rountines I can do at home but space is an issue right now so I am restricting a lot until I can get back in the groove.
Food wise I have had 330.5 cals including my fiber suppilment. yeehaw! Later: Ended up at 800 cals today. Very excited. Plan to do some yoga before bed. results coming slowly but I can see them at least.
