Bad Girl - 1 day workout.
The snow on the 14th has caused us to reschedule my personal training session. As a result I have done nothing most of this week.
Thursday January 20th. 2nd Personal Trainer Session. It was a little rough due to lack of commitment on my part. The 2nd routine focuses on Arms, Legs, & Core. I definitely do not have a lot of strength in my arms. The hardest thing for me this week was the Polymetric squats & lunges. It definitely raised my heart rate quickly.

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.

Starting the Year Off Right!!!!
I have a 6 month membership for Oak Marr Rec Center and 6 1-hour Personal Trainer Sessions!
I am going to meet with my personal trainer (Karen) about once a week. She was recommended to me as a good trainer and will get me into shape.
I am excited and nervous!!!

The Month of December
My Calendar is BLANK...but my mind is thinking of exercise.
I have decided that I feel better about myself when I am in shape and actively running or doing something. So after the holidays (because of family visits, Disney World, Christmas time) I am going to join Oak Marr Rec Center and possibly get a personal trainer.
Things I know.

Things I know.
- I am too much of a wimp to run in this bitter cold.
- I am motivated when at school but when I get home to the cold house that motivation disappears.
- I don't know what I am doing in a gym so I need some help.
- I need something that I am not required to sign a year contract for or have an enrollment fee.
The Month of November 2010
Sporadic At Best
Monday the 8th. Melissa and I went for a run. We went 2.14 miles. It was slow.
Monday the 22nd. The weather was nice so Matt and I went for a run/jog together. We decided to run to the Schaller's house where we talked with John about his amazing 50 MILER race!!! Then we ran home. It sure did cool off quickly during our stop.
Saturday the 27th. Melissa and I headed out again. We went 2.20 miles. Again it was slow.
Monday the 29th. Melissa and I took the dogs and went for a run. It was my first time ever really running with a dog. I had Theo and he was pretty good. We had to stop several times for them to pee and such so our time was slower, but it was an enjoyable run. I would run with the dogs again.
