2-9-14 Morning Work Out

So, all of you work out enthusiasts and also you people that don't really enjoy it all that much but are looking at my blog, I did my exercise this morning!

My warm-up involved a lot of fast walks and stretches to the music "Magic System - Zouglou Dance" and "The Macarena!" Music always helps keep you going when exercising.

My core exercising involved jumping. I jumped up and down, side to side, and front to back. It's a lot harder than it sounds, so I had to do side to side steps to the music whenever I got exhausted. Speaking of which, the music I listened to for the jumping and stepping was Pitbull's "Timber."

After that I did some pushups and curlups to the song Brokenhearted by Karmin!

Lastly, and you always need to remember to do this, my cooldown was to 1,2 step by Ciara. Mostly light walking, but with a few added 1,2 steps.

That's it for this morning and I hope to remember to do and post something in the afternoon! Love you guys!

2-3-14 Sore Throat

Morning

Whelp. Guess who was having trouble talking this morning? This is an example of a reason why one should adhere to a good sleep schedule... especially when they are already having problems. Sore throat, runny nose, and a weaker body.

I'm giving myself the "sick" clearance. If I feel better later I'll do the evening exercise, though it won't be anything impressive.

Evening

And again with the freelance. Don't worry guys, eventually I'll get this right!

Groundhog's Day Post!

Firstly, I'd like to with you all a super superb Groundhog's Day!
More winter for everyone!
I, personally, am not the biggest fan of winter but I still need to teach my boyfriend how to make a snowman so I guess it can stay for a little bit.

Morning

Now! Exercises!
This morning I started off with a warm-up where I did a bit of walking, stretching, and super light jogging. It was just the right amount to start up my heart rate and get my muscles ready for work!

I moved on to the main body of my exercise. Because I've been slacking off I started off with some cardio. A minute of hard jogging, a minute of walking, intertwined until I had 6 minutes done. Then I moved on to curlups and weightlifting.
I don't know how many curlups I did because I was checking my texts as I did them. I do know, however, I was checking my texts for about 1 to 2 minutes so I assume I did somewhere between 25 and 40 curlups.

Lastly, I did walking and a bit of bending over my exercise ball to ease my muscles back to a relaxed state.

I worked up a sweat this morning and for me that's all that matters!

Evening

I didn't do these! You wanna know why? I took on more than I could handle again with freelance, so my day began to suffer. Let's put it this way... It's 4am and I'm still awake. I'll work on that... lol

1-30-14 part two and 1-31-14 part one

Whelp, so yesterday night I honestly did not do much. I'm working on it guys! I swear >.>

However, this morning not only did I do a little bit of jogging, but I found two fitness personal trainer certification places that sounded absolutely wonderful.

There was Ace and then the AFAA. I found them through looking at what other people did and then checking out the websites myself!
Just gotta finalize my choice and then save up about $500!

1-30-14 part one

Whelp, I only did some curlups earlier, but here's a commentary on that:
Sinus infection.

While that sounds like a silly reason, have you ever had one? It actually knocks you down. I'm actually proud of myself for just doing some curlups. I got a slight burn and that's what matters to me when I'm not feeling well.

That's my thing. is I'm trying.

It's not to tell myself I suck for missing a day, it's for congratulating for what I've actually done.

Arnis

So for the past two days I've been learning a bit of Arnis, also known as Kali and Eskrima. It's a filipino stick fighting martial art and it's very fun. So far I know all the basic strikes and one defense. I'll soon be learning more of it.

That's all the update for today because I'm lame.

Restarting with Pizzazz!

11:00 am
So this week for my 52 resolutions my mom chose out the card for me "I will relearn soo bahk do or do another self defense." What a great way to restart my exercising! As you all know, I do exercises twice a day, so for this restart, this morning won't be the self defense.

I haven't even chosen what self defense I want to do actually.

And since I'm being lazy, I'm going to make myself run outside in the cold! Huzzah!

Update @ 11:55am
I did a quick jog and ended up doing 4 pushups and a couple minutes of jumping jacks.
While that sounds pretty chill the amount of muscular atrophy I had over the time of not exercising caused it to seem like much more. Besides, the time spent jogging does not equal the exertion of said jogging, which you should all find out fairly quickly.
