1/10 through it!!!! Does anyone else do that? I think I love fractions too much. Oh I'm a nerd.
Ok, so today was workout #2, "back" muscles.
Prior to starting this program I would get up in the morning and do 45 minutes on the elliptical while watching tv. I've come to really treasure this time - I get to catch up on a show, and I feel super energized all day at work from my morning workout. I am just NOT interested in doing strength training in the morning. So today I got up at workout o'clock, but instead of doing workout #2 I did the elliptical. I waited all day with plans to get my Body Revolution in later this evening only to unexpectedly head to my sister's to help watch my niece (my sister is sick, my niece is almost 1 and she didn't want to get her sick too). Yay for fun time playing with my niece and hanging out with my sister (from a distance). Ha.
I ended up getting home just after 9, but since I'm 100% committed to not missing a day, you bet workout #2 happened!
I have to say - I'm AMAZED how strong I'm feeling. For all of you out there doing this, I'm not sure what you're using for weights, but I have 8 lb dumbbells and I seriously thought my arms were going to fall off after the first few workouts. The difference between last week and this week is night and day, I can only imagine how strong I'm going to feel at the end of the 90 days. Also...I think it's time to go buy some heavier weights. What are you guys using?
81 days to go :-)
I am about ready to move from 5 lbs to 8 lbs. I'm sure I'll still need 5's sometimes. Those chair squats where you raise the weights to eye level are killer! I can barely do those with the 5's.
ReplyDeletethose chair squats with lateral raises KILL me too! :)
DeleteI haven't received my BR yet, but I am doing the Ripped in 30 and using 5 lb. dumbells. Some of the exercises I thought that I needed maybe 3 lb. dumbells. You go with the 8 lb.....that is great!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job getting in the Workout #2!!! :) I have an assortment of dumbbells...5's, 8's, 10's, 12's... I am using the 8's and 10's and will continue to go up in weight each week. :) I too am feeling stronger than the first week. yay!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!!
