Work-out Update!

Hello there folks, Amber here!!  I wanted to give you guys a mid-week update on the workout plan I chose.  I found on pinterest a set or exercises to do each day of the week, Monday-Friday. So far I have done the first two days, and I am looking forward to Wednesdays.  So here they are, and a little of what I discovered with the workouts.

I loved this one!  It is simple but effective.  It took me maybe 40 minutes to complete and I could tell that I had a mini workout.  It doesn't look like it is hard, and it really isn't.  It is however a start to a daily workout routine you can do in your home.  For my cardio, I played my XBox Kinect game, Dance Central 2.  It is a great and fun way to get some cardio going.  My daughter likes to dance right along side me... so it makes it more fun.

For this day, I had to make adjustments to my 40 reverse curls.  I have lower back problems, and so lying on my back and trying to lift up creates too much pain for me.  So instead of the reverse curls, I did leg lifts.  I remained lying on my back and lifted each leg one at a time into the air to a 90 degree angle, and then lowered it just inches above the ground.  I did 25 on each leg. 

Here is a look at Tuesday's workout plan...

For this day I did the Dance Central again for my cardio.  Everything else I was able to do just fine.  If you don't have any weights around your house, then go into your pantry and find a can of soup or vegetables.  Something that is even though.  It may not weigh 5 pounds, but it will work until you get something else in the house.  This is another great, simple and effective workout.  I didn't think it was doing anything, and then I picked up my daughter and my arms were sore.

Here is what I have to do tonight.  I will report on Saturday how the rest of the week goes!  Let me know if you try it, and what you think!
