I decided since I am doing legs tomorrow I would do cardio in the gym with a Plyo focus instead of a plyometric workout. I started out on the Stairmaster and did intervals for six minutes. Then, I switched to the bike and pedaled for four minutes up a steep hill. Third, I did five minutes of intense incline and resistance on the elliptical. Lastly, I did ten minutes of jogging on the hill setting of my treadmill and finished out with five minutes of fast walking with an incline of 15, which is the highest my treadmill goes. This is a grand total of a 30 minute workout.

IT'S SAINT PATTIE DAY! I work in a middle school and I love the holiday, sooo of course I wore my green today. You can definitely spot the education majors on campus, because we're all green. I went a little over the top this year and decided to wear, along with my sweatshirt, green nails. Sport your green today in whatever amount you feel comfortable with and have fun!!!!
My Cousin and his Fiance are having their wedding at the family farm, so my family went up to help clean with the rest of the extended family. I learned to cut stakes, and signs with a table saw, but we didn't have safety goggles so I wore my mom's diva sunglasses (stylish and productive). I then lopped tree branches for them to burn which was a little hard with my shoulder, so that didn't last long, but I did my part by carrying the pieces and raking piles of scraps to the fire. Then, I worked with my dad cutting trees with a bow saw, which is another thing I learned to use that day. Lastly, I helped with the arts and crafts portion of the wedding painting signs, nailing letters to the door, and creating hanging mason jars. It was fun and after a ten hour manual labor day I was tired!!! P.S. My parents are the ones in the table saw picture, it was a work day so close ups of people's faces are not allowed It's barely warm enough!!! I decided that since A is out of town in Ohio,
that I would slip into my swimsuit and take some me time. I came home from my field experience, grabbed my roomies, and we kicked it poolside. I always bring a beach bag and it includes: a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and my towel clips! Member to protect from skin cancer and eye cancer to wear your sunglasses even on cloudy days and always reapply your sunscreen or it's not doing its job. Tonight I did my shoulder workout and then jumped on the bike and pressed the hill setting button to try something new for my cardio portion. The bike really targeted my thighs and it was easier on my knees than the stairmaster. I don't normally do hashtags, but thought this moment needed it!

I left out the two power walking section when doing my workout, but I think I might add them in on my next cardio day.
Back to business. I wore this to my field experience today and it's cold
weather again. Add some rain and you have the weather here. I only have six more field experience sessions for this semester which is bittersweet. Bitter because I will miss my tutor student, but sweet because I will get to dress like a college student again which I will only have this semester and summer to do. Oh well have to grow up sometime, but I'm excited for what the future holds. So I know I said I was going to get back to intervals, but Indiana Jones was on the treadmill. SO...... I just ran at 6.0 speed for 30 min. I know
boring, but tomorrow I am trying a new different type of interval workout. Umm... so there is something that doesn't resemble a monsoon or a blizzard in Georgia today and IT'S GREAT! The temperature is warm and everyone is sitting outside on campus during their free time. I seized the opportunity to show off my legs and hopefully get a little color on them. It's beginning to look a lot like Spring!!!
My arms were sore from chest and tricep day, but I still pushed through the workout. I did preacher curls for the second time now and I think I'm
beginning to like them because of the stability you get with the position you place your arm in. Fitness Barbie Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/10/back-biceps-1017.html |
