January 7th - 13th

Sunday the 9th: Did my Routine 1 exercises at home. Took about 40 minutes. This focuses on legs, core, & stretches. At least right now I can do the exercises at homes, I bet soon that I won't have the correct weights. (Main reason is because several of the disks have been misplaced).

Monday the 10th: Oakmarr. Warm Up: 10 minutes on bike w/ 3 minute cool down.
Plank hard: 45 seconds Side Plank: able to do ~12 second on each side w/ straight knees.
Will increase weights next time: didn't feel sore when done. The curtsy lunge feels ackward. All in all, felt good to go on my own.

Wednesday the 12th: Personal training Routine 1 exercises at home. Plank ~12 seconds each side. Plank = 60 seconds. Twisted leg stretch - easier (still hard keeping my balance).

1st Peronal Trainer Session

January 6th: Bring on the Pain.

We jumped right in. I did a 6 minute warm up on the treadmill. She suggested besides just running that I should work on walking at different speeds up hills. There is no set pattern, just play around and see what works for me.

I felt good that I was able to do most of the exercises that she had me do. I am also able to do a lot of these at home because I have an exercise ball and some small weights.

The Side Plank was the one exercise that we had to modify because I could not get it.

The Standing Cross Over Stretch was also a struggle for me.

I realize that I am very stiff! Even though it hurts I need to do a better job stretching.
