Sam's Gotta Move Log
Okay....It's day two of our Fitness Challenge, so I thought I would come over here and at least commit myself to entering what meager acticvity I do each day.
To call it a gym log may be overstating things...lol but nonetheless, I will fling in here what I do.
Got a headstart on the challenge by having a good brisk 3 k walk Saturday, and another slightly shorter one on Sunday. It was more mental preparation than anything I think.
I used to powerwalk 5k a day...religiously. Got lazy when winter came and here I am....sedentary and knowing it isn't what got me here...so I need to get going.
My plan is to keep walking as a focus, just for general cardio and health. I bought some weights to do upper body, and will start Pilates soon. I am also looking at the Matthews Method.
My nine year old son wants to exercise with me...dunno how long that will last, but I like that he wants to. We have agreed that we will alternate our time doing whatever our schedule allows, trying to mix up cardio and weights properly. Some nights if we are feeling lazy...or just like having some fun, we will put on music and just dance! The agreement is that we DO something.
Tuesday nights will be "off" nights. It's a very busy night in our lives with Beavers and Cubs...a late night to begin with...so a good choice for a night off.
So....here we go.
Last night, day one, we did my old Tae Bo tape. I hate it. Won't do it again. I never did like it, i'm totally uncoordinated and I need something that I understand how to do so that I can concentrate on doing it right. Walking was scheduled but it snowed and was freezing, so it was a quick alternative.
Upside is that I worked up a sweat and it was better than nothing.
Today....day 2 is conveniently "off" night. Trust me, running around after 25 little Beavers age 5 - 7 is exercise enough!!!...lol
