Today is Day 5! I am feeling great, a little sore but nothing compared to the previous few days! What was strange about today's workout is - you only record what you do when it comes to back exercises NOT the legs.
Today's AB Ripper X was the BEST I HAVE DONE SO FAR!!!!!!! Still haven't done all of the crunch variations yet, but I am doing my best.
I was filled with sweat after today's workout, but I still have tons of energy. I am starting to be ... HAPPY ABOUT MY PROGRESS!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) Just 5 days and I am noticing a difference in my attitude (despite my silly cold) .. (Yes, that is right. I have a cold, and I am STILL exercising. Because I am hardcore. I put the X in eXtreme!)
As a reminder, I use resistance bands. The colours and weights are as follows: Black (5lbs), Blue (10lbs), Yellow (15lbs), and Red (20lbs). The coolest thing about the resistance bands I have is - there is one set of handles with 4 detachable cords. The handles can accomodate 3 cords! So, if I have black+Blue, then I am using 15lbs of resistance per arm.
So, today's Back exercises were .......
1. Reverse Grip Chin-ups: 12R, 15R+Blk
2. Wide Front Pull-Ups: 15R, 12R+Blk
3. Closed Grip Overhand Pull-Ups: 15R, 10R+Blk
4. Switch Grip Pull-Ups: 15R, 16R+Blk
I don't mean to brag (because I technically didn't do any pull-ups), but if you tally up all the "pull-ups" I did, it comes to a whopping 110!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
Today was a great exercising day. I feel so great about myself. Kristi, my exercise partner/fiancee, just motivates me to do well and she always encourages me. Without her, I don't know if I could have done so much of the Ab Work! Thanks baby, I love you!
So, there you have it! Put your mind to it, and you can achieve anything!
oh honey, you are the real motivator!!! and i am feeling very good about myself and noticing a mood change as well :) i love you whole bunches sugar!
ReplyDeleteFor those of you that do not know Kristi, well, she just learned how to use Facebook not too long ago. So, the above post is really her, not me pretending to be someone else commenting on my own blog.
