I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it to the gym because I had to play catch up on my homework due to a stomach bug the night before, so I woke up on my own at 4:00 am and did two ab workouts with my bosu ball. I later was able to go to gym for a fifteen minute run on the treadmill without any incline at 4.5 speed. I am in LOVE with my bosu ball!!!

I got home really late and had to get things ready for my field experience and advisement meeting before tomorrow. Therefore, by the time I got to the gym I was only able to do a 15 minute treadmill interval,
Workout Below: I did a elliptical interval workout tonight for 16 minutes and a 5 minute cool down. Then, I made the cold, slippery trek back to my apartment and did 2 sets of this killer ab workout!!!
Link to Elliptical Workout: http://www.fitsugar.com/Cardio-Workout-Elliptical-Intervals-6926664 I decided to change it up and do a treadmill workout, so I could see the people playing outside in the snow!! I only was able to follow fifteen minutes of this workout and then for five minutes I walked at 3.5 at an incline of 15.0., then I cooled down for 5 minutes. Today I did my back and bicep day and my hips were still hurting from
my leg day two days ago. I think it had something to do with me upping my weight I was lifting as well as sitting on the bleachers for two hours straight in the freezing weather. So.... I decided to take it a little easier on my cardio and I did 15 minutes on the treadmill at an incline of fifteen with a speed of 3.5. This was a good workout and I still was able to feel the burn in my legs without the impact of running on the treadmill. Workout Below: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/09/back-biceps-911.html Today was my fourth leg day following this blog!!! Yay I'm at the start of my last week of my first month which means I should definitely be seeing some results and I have seen major strides in the direction that I want my body to head. My leg days and all weight days consist of a simple set up: 5 minute warm-up on cardio machine of choice, Fitness Barbie workout, and ends with however many minutes Fitness Barbie says to put in for cardio. Right after as well as the day after my walking motion resembles that of a newborn baby giraffe. If yours does as well, then your doing something right. Fitness Barbie Workout (I didn't do abs today): http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/09/legs-910.html Below are some pictures of my workout and my favorite recovery snack that I eat after every weight workout: Tonight I did a stair master interval workout. I found this workout on Pinterest and it was a great alternative to the usual elliptical workouts I do. I had to modify the stairstepper due you my knees hurting and only did ten minutes then played around with treadmill speed interval setting alternating 2 1/2 minutes jogging and 2 1/2 minutes sprinting for twenty minutes plus five minute cool down totalling a thirty-five minute workout. Tip: to prevent knee injury or pain after workout make sure you are not relying only on the leg you stepping up with to get you to the next stair. Also remember modifying exercises is ok. Sometimes depending on how I feel that day or how the workout is structured I may have to slow the exercise down, do the move for a shorter period of time, or move in a different way to complete the exercise. Found below: Tonight was my cardio day and I did an intense cardio workout that I found on Pinterest. Tip: Have a workout buddy- this doesn't mean a person that has to be at the gym with you for every workout, but someone you can call or text after your workout to brag about what you accomplished. Celebrate the small results and the goals you have achieved. My boyfriend, Anthony, is my workout buddy and he has only been to one of my workouts, but I can always count on him to give me a thumbs up when I tell him about what I accomplished that night. I did a total 25 minute workout following this which means I did a five minute warm up, repeated the workout three times, and a five minute cool down. I was sweating buckets and it takes a very aggressive workout for that to happen.
