I am gradually easing my way back into the water went
swimming last Friday and it was a very good work out so that was awesome; I used
to swim weekly not too long ago just got lazy somewhere along the way despite
the fact that I love being in the water I am most at peace in water. My focus for the next few weeks is to tighten
and tone especially my arms they are not too bad but they could look better. I have
been incorporating the five minute arm workout below in my daily routine all
week it’s only five minutes but I sure do feel it. I am currently using alternative weights will be putting in
an order for proper weights/dumbbells online in a bit. I also incorporate
modified push ups in my workouts to strengthen my arm muscles. I restarted my Jillian Michaels workouts today
and will incorporate them twice a week since I don’t want to fully stop walking
because I can really see the results of walking especially on my thigh area. If anyone has recommendations for any good
toning workouts please do let me know in the comments.
This is what February is looking like at a glance;
Mondays and Fridays –
Workout with Jillian Michaels
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays – Walk with Leslie Sansone
Arm workouts – Daily (weekends
inclusive) it’s only five minutes after all
Swim as the spirit leads!
If I wake up with an urge to go swimming so be it but I don’t want to allocate
a day or time to it like I used to just yet for fear of being non compliant.
Sidebar: what are your thoughts on waist trainers? I
wear shape wear to hold everything in place and give a smooth outline but
lately I have been thinking about investing in a waist trainer and would really
love to hear first hand thoughts from someone who does on what she thinks about
them or just your thoughts in general on waist trainers so please help a sister
out in the comments below. Thanks ladies!
Hi Lydz, nice post. You must be enjoying your time swimming especially with this hot weather we're experiencing here. I also need to do some serious arm workouts, i even checked out some dumbbells at the supermarket because push ups and the like are just not doing it for me (i give up too easily after a couple, I'll keep trying though). And i like how you've mixed things up in your February plan. Am doing something similar to that with 'Insanity' and 'T25'.
ReplyDeleteThansk Joyce I really enjoyed my swim. I like mixing things up because I get bored easily with monotony so diversity keeps me motivated. I am looking forward to reading your Shaun T updates:)
