Guest guest Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi! I took the weekend off -well, DH and I went away overnight by ourselves! It was nice to visit our old neighborhood and other places we used to hang out when we were "younger" (DH turned the big 5-0, so this was a reminiscing sort of trip!). Anyway, it was very nice. We did take a 4.5 mile walk on Saturday - but DH walks slower than me, so it wasn't strenuous. Then, on Sunday, we did about 30 - 45 min. But, I did eat a lot - which was also ok! Today I got back on track w/ my 10 lb slimdown extreme workouts and did the toughest of the batch - Legs! 40 min of torture. I went lighter than last time and used 8's, which is what uses. I think last time I used 10's but I didn't want to risk anything w/ my back which is feeling much, much better. Next time I do this one I may push some things back up to 10. This one is a good one. I am thinking that on the weeks when I don't to the xtreme lower body that I will do the original 10 lb slimdown lower body - mostly b/c my lower body is my trouble zone and the area that nees the most work. Plus, working lower body is very aerobic w/ these workouts so it kills 2 birds w/ one stone! I stretched on my own w/ my yoga strap - focused on hips and hamstrings. Tomorrow is cardio - not sure what I will do yet. Take care!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Glad you both enjoyed yourselves. Sounds like a really nice time.Good job with the workout today. I usually try to pick a harder one on Monday since I always eat so bad in the weekends.**----- Reply message -----From: " Donna M-P " <donna112520@...>< >, <FitFirmies >Subject: Back to exercising!Date: Mon, Nov 7, 2011 10:38 am Hi!I took the weekend off -well, DH and I went away overnight by ourselves!
