Wednesday's Workout!

Here is my first Wednesday Workout's post!

Bare with me as I figure out exactly how I am going to do this over the next few weeks.

Anyways, I officially started my Ragnar training on Monday.

I went out to my sisters house to use her treadmill.

I wasn't exactly sure how much of it would come back to me so I took it easy.

She loved it because she got to play with Lyle and didn't have to fight her kids to hold him. ;)

It took me an hour but I did 4 miles total.

I walked have, ran half, and continued that until 4 miles.

I also increased the incline up to 6 while walking and 2 while running.

It felt amazing!

I have missed running so much and am so glad that it is coming back easier than I thought it would.

I wasn't as sore as I thought I was going to be but enough that it took a little more power to get up.

Tuesday, the weather was gorgeous so when Dee got home from work, we took Lyle out and went on a walk.

We have a nice hill in our neighborhood so I know where I am going to be running when I start outside.

Today I decided to take it a little easy and I only chose two workouts that I found on pinterest.

The first one is Catwalk Pins

We all have that flab in between our legs that we would love to get rid of!

well...here is a really good solution to that!

Lie on your side and support your head with one arm.

Lift your top leg and place your foot on the chair.

Very slowly, lift the lower leg to touch the underside of the chair.

Hold for a few seconds, lower several inches then lift straight back.

Continue for 30 seconds then switch legs and repeat.

If you feel the burn you know you are doing them right.

Here is my attempt to take a picture of myself doing them:

 

If you feel that these are too easy for you, try lifting your body so that it is alined with your upper leg.

Support your body with your lower arm and lift the lower leg.

It should look like this:

The image above is also from the same website as the Catwalk Pins.

I tried doing these...I couldn't even lift my lower leg off the ground.

I have something to shoot for now! :)

These second workout I chose were pushups from Fitness Fury.

These are what they look like:

I got into the pushup position with my legs a little off from my body.

Then I took one leg and crossed it over so I could keep my balance.

I lost a lot of my upper strength and was only able to do 10 pushups on each side.

I am going to do 3 reps of 10 but do them throughout the day.

This will tone your arms along with your abs!

Two in one is my favorite way to go!

I would have done more but this little guy wanted my attention until he fell asleep

I am also going to go for a run tonight when Dee gets home from work.

I'll let you know how sore I am tomorrow from the Catwalk Pins and the funky pushups!

I challenge you to take 5 - 10 minutes out of your day to try these!
