I know it has really been sometime since I posted, and this is one of the things I am bad at.  My husband and I have been doing our routine at the gym, but this week we have not been going like we should.  Monday I was not able to take the boys to Karate for being late coming home.  Had to take my youngest to the ENT in Lynchburg, which is about 1 1/2" hours away from were I live.  The appointment was at 1:45 and did not get out till 3:30, and had not had anything for lunch, so we ate at the mall.  Tuesday my husband did not fill like going to the gym, so much to do that night.  I am hoping we will be able to go to the gym tonight.  I did do so exercise at home on the ball with weights Monday morning.

 

I started a diet, I have been on it for 4 days now and I've got 6 more days to go, and right now I am at the detox stage.  It seems to be fine for right now, we will have to see how it goes, I’m not much on diets and sticking with them.

I know that I have not been keeping up with what I do during the week with my fitness, so let start.  Saturdays I do not plan on doing any type of routine since this is the only day I have to grocery shop.  I when to Barnes & Noble and found the Biggest Loser Fitness Program book, I got it.  Sunday was not able to go to the gym with getting the trailer ready for a new renter, so I try what was in the book.  I tell you it was like I had gone to the gym and walked on the treadmill, my heart rate was up and I was hot and sweaty.  So now I am reading it so that I will be doing everything right.  Monday I have Karate, went for a run with one of the instructors and did a mile, but this is no easy mile, up very steep hills and back down.  Tuesday my husband and I were able to go to the gym, we ran walked on the treadmill, then did our weight training.  Tonight we should be going to the gym.  At lunch today to get away from my desk I when up stairs and walked on the treadmill.  That makes you fell good.  I try to get a check in tomorrow.

Fridays Routine

Todays run/walk was the same as Thursday, except I did not have to re-program so Iwas on it for 24 min, going 1.641 distance, burning 206 cals.  Hoping to go to the gym tonight, the instructor from the Karate class invited me to join her tonight, but I am really not sur what my husband has planned.

Thrusday Routine

Wednesdays Routine.

Today I did the same routine on the treadmill.  Tuesday I had set a program on the treadmill so this time I would not have to look to the time.  I warmed up for 5 min. at a speed of 3.3, then 2min. run at 5.0, then walk of 1 at 3, did this five times then did my cool down for 5.  When to the gym this night, so I warmed up on the treadmill for 5 min., went to the back to do my weight training.  I did leg lift with 45lbs on each side did 20 rep 2 set, while still on this machine I did calf lift 20 rep 2 sets.  Then went to another machine, not really sure what it is call, but it works you inner and outter thigh, did inner thighs at 50lbs 20 reps 2 set, then outter at 50lbs 20 reps 2 sets.  After that I did my triceps, doing 35 lbs 20 reps 2 sets.  After the the weight training I went back on the treadmill and did a mile at 5.5, stayed on it for 14 min.  People were waiting so I did not stay long on it.

Tuesdays Routine.

Well since Monday I ran/walked on the treadmill, I was going to have to shorten in.  I found that it ran a little too long and i miss a meeting at work.  Todays work out was 24 min. for a distance of 1.591, burning a total of 199 cals.  I did not go to the gym this night, my husand did not get off work till late so it was really too late to go.

Mondays Routine.

Being that I get to work so early I have decide that I will use the treadmill there at work in the morning instead of getting off early on Fridays.

this morning I worked on the treadmill for 26 mins., for a distance of 1.695, burning 215 cals.  On Monday I take Karate with my boys, so I run another mile up a hill, that nearly killed me, then back to class to do our sit-ups, push-up, and jump-n-jack.

Sundays Routine

Went to the gym.  Normally we would do our cardio, but this morning all the treadmills were taken, so had to start off with the weight training.  This Sunday we were going to do our upper body exercises.  We started with dumbbells laying down on the bench to work our chest, I uses 15lbs., hubby did 25lbs.  Doing 8 reps 2 sets.  Then we went to the bench press.  I did 5lbs on each side, and hubby did 30lbs each side.  Doing 8 reps 2 sets.  Then we went to the row machine.  I did 40lbs, huddy did 70lds, 8 reps 2 sets.  Next we did good mornings, this works your back.  Doing 40lbs for me and hubby 60lbs., 8 reps 2 sets.  Then was time for the core, knee crunches, sitting on the end of the bench raising you legs off the floor so that they are hovering, this is your start potion.  From there you bring you knee up to your chest.  I did 20 reps, and hubby did 15 reps, 3 sets. Last thing to do is crunches.  We do these on an decline bench.  My husband do these, 20 reps 3 sets.  I did the hanging knee crunch to work on the lower core, doing 20 reps 3 sets.

Now we where ready to go on the treadmill, and being that time was getting close to closing the doors to the gym I did my warn up at 3.3 for 5 mins., then started running at 5.0 for 2 mins., then walk at 3.7 for 2 mins, then did a cool down for 5 mins.  Not my typical run/walk on the treadmill so I did not get any of the info that I would have gotten.
