No Resting Here

Some days I pick my 43 thinking it won’t be so hard and some days I am WRONG!!!  Today was one of those days – the move was a version of the old windmill move/stretch.  The goal was to work your obliques and a bit of arms/shoulders – Done!

Start with your legs wide, toes slightly pointed out and a weight in your right hand.

start (arms straight if you can)

Reach down with your left hand to the outside of your left foot while reaching straight up with your right hand.

(Jordan said he can’t touch his toes – better work on his flexibility!!)  After doing 43, or your # of reps, put the weight in your left hand and repeat.

and reach!
and reach!

I used an 8 pound dumbbell and it was hard (I think my shoulders are a little sore from yesterday’s TaeBo band work!).

This morning it is pretty nice here (although it has gotten cloudy in the last 30 minutes) so I decided to run outside.  I only ran 3.5 miles (lots of hills!!) at just over 8:00 minutes/mile – I never really settled into the run today.  My breathing was all over the place.  Still, it was nice to be outside enjoying the fresh air and sunshine!!

I typically take Sunday off and I know I haven’t the past couple of weeks – starting Wednesday I will be taking a few days off (not from my 43 but the rest of my workouts) so I’m taking advantage of the days until then!!!

Now, I’m heading back outside to   pull the weeds that have gotten out of control with all of the rain we’ve had lately – FUN TIMES!!!Screen shot 2013-04-21 at 9.31.50 AM

Happy Sunday!!
