See what I did there? B)
My workout today:
Part 1:
*Repeated 3 times with 30 second break between repeats
- 20 push-ups
- 1 minute plank
- 30 bridges
This part nearly killed me. Doing a plank after push-ups is hard. On the last repeat, my push-ups were so hard to finish and they were definitely not as deep as I would have liked them to be. I tried to keep good form though! I was shaking by the end of this!
Part 2:
*repeated twice with 30 second break in between
- 15 read the paper exercise
- 30 side oblique crunch
- 15 roll-up/ V-ups
- 15 seated crunchy frog
- 15 wide leg sit ups
- 30 crunches
- 30 vertical crunches
I think my abs got a great workout today! Some of the exercises that I used today are P90X exercises taken from Ab Ripper X, the first one is from the 2 Week Workout that I did a while ago, and the others are just a few that I do regularly. I have a feeling I’m going to be sore tomorrow.
The Cherry on Top: Ran 1 mile. I just wanted to get a bit of cardio in tonight. It was a very easy, short run, but it felt amazing.
Another thing that made today great:
Today I found a pair of 5 lb dumbbells at Goodwill. I bought them both for a total of $5.25! I recently acquired some 2s and 3s from a family friend-I was a bit disappointed because I thought they would have heavier ones since they have 2 teenage sons at home-so I have enough to work with for now. I really want some 10s and 15s, but I do not have the money to go out and buy them so I have been looking at thrift shops and will soon look around at garage sales to see if I can find some. I am really missing the luxury of a gym, but I can make due without one!
