WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
First workout has left me on a huge endorphin high.
Here's what I did:
from Selene Yeager's "Perfectly Fit", Weeks 1-4
Wood Chop - 1/10 - 3kg weight
Dumbbell Side Swing - 1/10 each side - 1kg
Dumbbell Press - 1/10 - 2kg
Seated Back Fly - 1/10 - 1kg
Lat Pulldown - 1/10 - band
Simultaneous Dumbbell Curl - 1/10 - 2kg
Behind-Your-Back Arm Raise - 1/10 - 1kg
Seated Straight-Leg Lift - 1/10
Lying Leg Curl - 1/10
All-Fours Kickback - 1/10
2-Second Floor Crunch - 1/10
OK - so one set of 10 reps is NUTHIN', but I'm cautiously starting slow. In between each set I did 2.5 minutes of aerobics. At first, I hopped on DH's old exercise bike. Well - the thing is a piece of junk really, and I hated it. The seat is stuck and I can't adjust it higher, so after four aerobics sessions, I abandoned it for stepping. And I found my "Shapes" Walking CD - Disco. It got harder and harder to just step, and once Funky Town came on, I was free-forming it all over the music room. It must be a damned funny sight to see this 250-lb. gal of Polish descent funk around the room, but I swear that between this afternoon and New Years Eve (see journal), there's a funky diva inside just bursting to get out.
OK maybe not. I'm just glad the neighbors weren't looking in the windows.
Oh yeah - I walked down and back up the big hill in Totnes this morning with DH. More tomorrow....
