feeling like I can breathe again and not too fatigued so thoughtn I'd head out to the gym to get my caerdio back and start to tone up. Used to be such a habit of mine and now it is broken and REALLY difficult to get me self motivated again. Lower body training squats, lunges, side kicks, front raises walk 5 mins 4mph jog 4 mins 5 mph walk 5 mins 4 mph jog 4 mins 5 mph walk 2 mins 3.7 mph second set of lower body squat, lunges, side kicks, front kicks. NOTE: It was teh squats, lunges and stuff that I felt totally winded by not the cardio. ODD!!! |

July 15th,
Okay I have started a detailed workout from a trainer for me. I have weights every otehr day only if there is no pain from the previous workout. An crdio. I am average to below average for my cardio and need to get it back up there. My resting heart rate is around 75 bpm - - which is too high. I would like to lower it to the mid 60's. I have been tracking my workouts and it would appear that it is my diet that is killing me. I am tryingt o eat healthy but when I get home I nibble on EVERYTHING!!!!!! Any tips or tricks out there? |
Today I am back to the gym after pulling a muscle in my back. Apparbnty Iw as tyring to hard too fast. I'll do the weight portion 2 - 3 times a week and cardio 6 days a week. Not too long but just enough to get my endurnace back.
Monday weight workout today. |
