Wasted Wednesday

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not." -Anonymous 

So I couldn't think of a good title for this so of course reverted back to my college days. I know, nothing to do with working out, but it has a nice alliteration to it. Not to mention it sounds more fun!

Newcomers, you've got the day off to nurse your soreness. Here's my workout for the day:

60 jump rope
20 jumping jacks
Back lunge w/ bicep curl (10/leg)
Hamstring kicks (10/leg)
Shoulder stability (2x45 sec/arm)
Suitcases (15)

Tone Up Time!

“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination.” -Tommy Lasorda

Today I started my workout with yoga. I discovered a beginners yoga DVD in my apartment last week and am trying it out. I figure it might help my horrible posture, which is good.  The session is only 20 min long too, so I'm not really wasting a ton of time on it.

No cardio today! Only a little weightlifting to tone up the body. The "+" sign means super sets-so you do one exercise right after the other.

Starting Line

"So many fail because they don't get started-they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin." -W. Clement Stone

I realized this morning that most people on this planet haven't exercised in months or even years. My sister is one of those people. She enlisted my help about 2 weeks ago to get into shape. Long term goal: run a marathon this spring. Pretty sweet goal if you ask me.

Anyways, I had to start her workouts differently. Most notably, everyone wants to do cardio-they think that is the quickest way to lose weight. Well in case you haven't figured out, like with the economy, or the broken window in my car, or just life in general, quick fixes never work (unless they involve duck tape).
