Re: February Strength Challenge

45 minutes of squats, push-ups, sit-ups this morning... then 1.5 h of leg exercises at the gym. I'll go again this evening, but not sure what I'll do. I'll update later if needed.

Re: February Strength Challenge

I did the Abs for Dummies video today. Added a few ballerina crunches and partial sit-ups to the workout. All core today

Re: February Strength Challenge

Morning and evening? That is dedication.
I was very sore after the last big lift session on Tuesday but I did some today again. Still just stretching for lower body though (and some biking)

Re: February Strength Challenge

Well, I have only a few classes this year... so I'm trying to make the best of my free time. I guess it's one of the perks of being a student...

1h yesterday morning... and 1.5h in the afternoon

No minutes to add yet, but I want to share something funny/instructive before heading to the gym:
YouTube - From Dork to Diva: Biceps Curl

Re: February Strength Challenge

Another 1.5h to add. I might do more tonight, but I'll only update after I'm done.

Re: February Strength Challenge

Two days of yoga with Leah in a row. I must be crazy. That woman makes you hold poses for ever. I also did abs

Re: February Strength Challenge

This was supposed to be a rest day, but I finished my homework faster than I planned, so took advantage of the extra time and did 1.5h this morning... and another 45 min in the afternoon.

Re: February Strength Challenge

Between lifting and abs I added another 55 minutes.

This morning I started a free weight lifting routine rather than the circuit that I did for 6 weeks. I'm really looking forward to the challenge!

Re: February Strength Challenge

Free weights sure beats circuit. Much harder to do. And it is always good to mix things up or else those muscles get too comfortable.
I did abs as well today. I am getting a tad stronger. Still struggle with those bicycles though.
