I see little workout plans all the time on Pinterest, but do I ever actually do them? Of course not.
I love exercising. Like love-love. I played volleyball and soccer in high school, but since then it has been a whole lot of nothing. I finally convinced myself to start doing something-anything. I had the Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 DVD already, so I decided to start with that. I am very proud to say that I have completed the entire 4-week program! Yay me! But now, it has been a week and I have not exercised even a tiny bit, and I am eating a whole lot of junk.
Perfect answer? Take a look at all the fitness pins that I have and actually do some.
So here is the first:
I started with a warm up, bits and pieces of random warm up moves that I have learned to warm my major muscles before I started the workout.
When I began the actual workout, it dawned on me that there was absolutely no way that I could do 90 crunches in a row....I'm not Iron-woman. I divided the entire workout.
Here is what I actually did:
3-5 minute warm-up
50 jumping jacks, 45 crunches
50 jumping jacks, 45 crunches
40 squats, 35 leg lifts
40 squats, 35 leg lifts
30 jumping jacks, 25 crunches
30 jumping jacks, 25 crunches
20 squats, 15 leg lifts
20 squats, 15 leg lifts
20 jumping jacks
10 minutes of running
2 minutes cool-down walk
3-5 minute stretch
Notice that I still did the right number of everything, just divided up a little better.
I noticed while I was doing the workout, my arms weren't getting much exercise. I think that adding a weight during the squats and pressing them above your head while doing squats would fix that problem
In the end, I thought this was a totally cool workout!
Good job Pinterest, I am satisfied.
