Good morning ladies!!! I'm a little late posting this, I do apologize, but life has been relatively insane for us over the past week (hence no Steppin' Out post last Saturday, even though I looked super cute when GodMomma and I went Christmas shopping!)
Here we go....
How're you all doing with your Workin' It goals?? I got my booty into the gym once this past week (and once so far this week, which has been even more insane with baptisms, house showings {two of them!! Same family too!!}, a craft show tomorrow night, C's staff holiday party Friday, I have a massage {much needed!} Saturday morning and then I'm off to style a photo shoot...oh and we might start moving on the weekend!! ahhhhh) and aside from tidying, cleaning and running around like a chicken with my head cutoff, I've been trying to focus on Nutrition.
I've been doing some baking, but have been doing some healthy baking. Oatmeal cherry bars are my favourite snack right now - with little to no sugar! I've been trying to make healthier choices with salads, getting more protein, getting veggies into my body to feed and fuel it. It's hard though when you're a mom!! Remembering to eat when I'm so busy is seriously a challenge (and a topic for next week).
Last Wednesday's workout was:
Walk 5mins
Then 4 sets of:
- 15 leg presses at 75lbs (definitely can do more than that, but getting back at that one slowly)
- 15 thrusters at 10lbs
- 15 bentover rows at 25lbs
- 15 sunups (situps on a bosu ball)
Then 15mins of cardio on the elliptical...at 6.3mph!
Now, you might be wondering about some of my fitness jargon, and you can totally do almost all of the circut exercises that I do...but from home!
Today, I'll explain what a thruster is.
{note: I came home from the gym that night and our Personal Trainer pal was over. I told him what I had done at the gym and he was super impressed that I was doing thrusters, since they're such a great exercise for your core, back, arms and legs. Full body, baby!}
Grab a couple of weights (soup cans, jars of peanut butter, your baby..whatever your have handy) and hold them at your shoulders
Do a squat
As you come out of the squat, push your arms up to the sky and then bring them back to your shoulders
Repeat
I'm not going to lie, they're hard...and they make you hurt if you kick up the weight (next week/routine when I do them, I'll be kicking up to 12.5lbs) but they are so incredibly worth it!
And here's some inspiration to get moving this week!
