Instead of staying on the same machine and doing intervals I decided to switch machines and do intervals that way. 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.

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. 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 It was nice to work my arm muscles. I loved every bit of it and I have
been slacking on my workout descriptions. I started trying the push ups because I felt like I could be able to do it now. I was able to do 2 sets of ten of each push up, but I switched the narrow push up for a triangle push up.

lbs. I love leg days because I feel like I work the hardest. My legs are one of the areas that I am trying to better myself in the most and that is probably why I work so hard on them because I understand the harder you work the more progress you see. I also added on holding myself up on the dip machine and doing normal crunches and oblique crunches that way which is something I think I will continue to work on every workout I do. I was able to get 10 of each!!!!!

I am really hoping that by the time my cousin's wedding in June that they will look phenomenal in my strapless maxi I'm planning on wearing. By then I will have been working my shoulders out for three months and the rest of my body for five!!!!

to watch a movie that was on the treadmill. It was nice to not have to think about running, but I will be getting back to interval training soon!!! I also did abs and did this 100 abs video with bosu ball. Link to abs below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8CiR9aHEfM I originally was not going to do progress updates because I am and will never be comfortable taking pictures of myself in anything that is too revealing. BUT after a big milestone tonight presented itself I just couldn't help it. You know the little steps are what make the journey. I was
starting my interval training on the treadmill and when I went to run my shorts that are normally on my waist were now above my belly button!!! I was not used to tightening my shorts past the point I had them, so I decided to tighten my shorts as tight as they would go. They are drawstrings so I was able to tighten a lot and I thought I had it solved, but.... low and behold when I started running again my shorts jumped up above my belly button quicker than before. I decided to do a fast walking incline treadmill workout instead and when I arrived home I found some more positive things. This past summer I was going constantly with school, eating more than my fair share of fast food, and neglecting the gym. About midsummer I am not ashamed to say, because we all let ourselves go sometimes, I was at a comfortable size 8 in shorts which was not my norm. I got home today and tried on those same 8's and they were loose. I then turned to the 6's and told myself before I put them on that it's ok if they don't fit right now because my journey isn't over. I slipped one pair on, then another, and another and they all fit! Only one pair was a little tight on my thighs, but not all 6's are made the same. I then took a deep breath and reached for my fours and what do you know, those same shorts that I was not able to get up past a couple of inches above my knees, were around my hips and almost buttoned!!!!! I have been working out for almost two months now and I did see minor changes after the first month, but it was mostly tightening and slight slimming, I am now breaking through mountains and not slowing down. I figured since I went hard on my chest and tricep day then I would do the same on back and bicep. My arms were not as tired as the day before and I was able to run on the treadmill for thirty minutes at the speed of
4.0. Fitness Barbie Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/10/back-biceps-109.html I upped my weights tonight and I think I might have over done it because when I got to my cardio I could not run on the treadmill like I had planned, so I opted for the bike. My arms feel like an elephant sat on
them!!! Fitness Barbie: Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/10/chest-triceps-108.html |
