Research Workouts

For any program:

• Warming up is super important
• building intensity
• Stretching different muscles 
• Break cardio into many short fast pace intervals
• Alternate working out core muscle groups
• The more intense the workout the more water you need to drink

I'm leaning toward focusing on doing ab routines everyday (probs 8 min abs at least every day alternating for the list below)

Three days a week of yoga 

Three days a week of intensity (30 min to 1 hr = 15/20 min warm up, 4 excersise blocks - have 3 of those focused on one part of the body... upper, lower,or mid) 

One day of running (at least 3 miles) 

Yoga routines:

The Return of Class

Class:

My abs have failed, days later they still hurt. Thursdays class was back to normal core workout, and I think my abs forgot how hard they usually had to work during class. The workouts that had muscles burning, were of course the lunges, side lunges, cherry pickers, and last but not least (super dozens of pushups).

Getting Ready for the Breaks:

Break is coming soon, and I am starting to plan my 10 week program. I'm getting excited to try new workouts that I learned from other people. I'm planning on incorporating yoga into my workouts too. =)

My own workout

So for an assignment we had to create our own short 10-15 minute workout. I came up with a circuit workout that your supposed to record how many reps you can do in a 60 sec period of time. 

Here's the workout:

- Push up side jumps ( push up then jump legs UP to side) 1 minute
- Break 30 seconds
-  Push up knee elbow crunch: in upward pushup position and then bend same arm and knee together in air - modified is on elbows and only move knees up to sides 1 minute
- Break 30 seconds
- Jack knife crunch 1 minute
- Break 30 seconds
- Burpeees 1 minute
- Break 30 seconds
- Monkey press ups: butt in air, with one leg in the air, and do push up - modified is put both legs on ground and pike push up 1 minute

- Break 30 seconds
-  Ski jumps over mat 1 minute
- Break 30 seconds  
- Frog jump 1 minute
- Break 30 seconds 
- Exercise ball mountain climbers (leg goes on outside of ball) 1 minute 

Yea this is really hard, those 30 second breaks are life savers. =)

This took about 15 minutes.

Hotel Workout

So last week I had to miss class because of an interview. However, I still managed to put in a work out in my hotel room before the day started.

I didn't come up with this one on my own, I found it on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPbUO84jx0k

It was a mix of abs and upper body. =) There are other videos for hotel room work outs but I like this one the most, because it was short and effective.

The Workout

So Yesterday I went on a "long" run.
(Well long for me) I managed to get up earlier than normal and ran around for about 30 min.
 Then when I got back I did my 8 min abs routine.
1) crunches
2) bicycles
3) cherry pickers
4) leg lifts
5) side crunch left
6) side crunch right
7) planks
8) alternating lunges

Again the 2 sets of 8 min abs a day is really working, in class I barely felt the ab exercises. However I need to work on my lunges, we only did a couple and my legs are killing me.

Oh and there are a bunch of 15 min workouts on youtube that I'll probably put into my every day routine. That way I'm doing 15 min plus the 8 min ab one after another. =)

Fall Break

Its Break!!!
Well for almost everyone but me...
I still have a lot of work to do for my thesis and project and other project and test and interviews...and well sleeping and breaks are just going to have to wait.
However my goals from the last post are still going well, i'm eating healthier. I stopped eating the temping goodies at Rice Hall. I also have been doing the 8 min ab thing when I can't make it to the gym.
Today I only went on a mile jog along with the ab work out. And that is all I had time for.
Tomorrow I think i'll go for a two mile jog and see how fast I can complete it.

Getting in Shape for Halloween

So this is inspired by Halloween Season. My roommates and i are planning on being teenage mutant ninja turtles...Sexy Teenage Mutant ninja turtles. Anyway, we are all planning on getting in shape together. But if my recent schedule is any indicator of how hectic the next couple of weeks be, I won't have the time to work out with them. =( But I figure if I do at least a couple of exercises a day no matter how stressed I am, i'll still get in shape.

New Goals for the Month:

• Work out every day
• Do 8 min. abs every morning
• Do 8 min. abs every night
• Take the stairs in rice
• Don't eat BAGELS from RICE! (This is going to be tough since i live there)
• Try to eat around than 1200 cal. a day
• Don't eat after 9pm (that's when all my unhealthy eating happens

Now that I have set goals, and a set marker (the weekend before of Halloween) Losing weight won't be so hard. =)

Day 9: Simple 8 minute abs

So Life has been stressful with the career fairs, interviews, and trying to, you know get a job for my future. Anyway I haven't been to the gym. But in order to counteract my lack of cardio I have been doing 8 minute abs as a quick wake up to my muscles every morning. Its not that much but its something, anyway this is the 3rd all nighter in a row!! woot woot!!

Day 3: Medicine Balls - 9/20

I'm soooo sore...Again.
I knew it. The medicine balls made it worse. I couldn't even walk down stairs yesterday. And i won't be able to again today.
The workouts:

we did 10 reps, like 50 times...I think

1. Squats lift up
2. Squats lift out
3. Chopping wood cutter...thing
4. Cherry Pickers

Day 1: Lunges - 9/18

AND THE WORKOUTS BEGIN AGAIN!!!
I am sore, already.
So we did a series of lunges (without weights) but to practice the form for the medicine balls. The oblique exercises were painful as well. but it was the lunges that killed. I can only imagine what it would be like with the ball. =)

They Deleted me...

I'M BACK!!
So this blog was marked as spam...To whoever did that. thanks. -_- I'm restarting my work out from day 1 again. Just because a week of not doing anything takes a toll on my body.

I'm Dying - Restart

Soooooo...i'm dying. Not literally but close enough. Being not able to breath, move, and talk, dictates that I should not be working out and thus will not be until I get better...

Day 10 - An hour at the gym

A simple Day

Just ran at the gym today, nothing special. I only ran a mile and then biked for 35 minutes and did a few ab exercises.

Day 8 - Abdominals

ROCK HARD ABS
So today it rained -_-
But it was also ab-day!! My abdominals were still slightly sore from all the laughing, so I was a little hesitant to go all out.

Warm-up
This was a quick thing to loosen us up after coming in from the rain.

1. Jumping Jacks
2. Mountain Climbers
3. Squats

Abdominal Exercises

1. Crunches 90 degrees
2. muffin tops
3. bike
4. supermans
5. planks - LR
6. side crunches
7. 100 pilaties
8. crab knee crunch
9. Leg lifts (butt up downs, 90 to straight,  circles)
10. Flutter exercises
11. THE PUSH-UP UPS - I LOVE/HATE these things.

I can't remember anything else we did. And my abs weren't sore after. However the squats left my butt aching the next day.

Day 7 - Rest

OMG MY ABS!!

Okay so I woke up and my abs are KILLING me!!!!

My arms are fine...idk why. Idk why my arms are fine. 

Day 6 - Upper Body

Upper Body Routine

This workout was kinda tiring but since I already have pretty decent upper body nothing really burned or was sore the next day.

The workout was a series alternating from pushups to planks to awkward flipping turtles, and more...

We also used some weights, I only had 1.5 but after like the 5th set I was starting to get tired. 

However that night I was working out with my roommates. Doing some ab routine but nothing really got done cause we were laughing at everything.

Day 3 - Update

So Today I ran a mile. Not much but hey I HATE running for just running, if its not a race or I'm not chasing a ball, I don't care for it.
Anyway, it was hot.

Yesterday and Friday I didn't feel the burn of Thursday's class. Maybe that means I'm not working as hard as I should. I don't know.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to go the gym and do a late night cardio session, to ware my self out a little before class the next day.

Hopefully it will work =)
