every wander

A late post from last week, but here's the run-down:  Monday I decided to startup Kayla Itsines' Bikini Body Guide (BBG) again on week 17. I'm redoing the initial guide I have and I'm on week 5. I forgot how intense the workout are! I was definitely sore the next day and a little bit still the day after. I don't exactly follow the guides (and maybe that's why I'm not seeing a bunch of progress) but I like to do one round of her BBG workouts and then the other half (14 minutes) of just other workouts. I've never really enjoyed a lot of repetition in my workouts; I like to mix things up. So I did one round of the BBG workouts and then I followed it with various leg/glutes exercises.  Tuesday Since I was so sore the next day, I did just some simple leg stretch exercises. I did a 20 minute Gentle Yoga Stretches with Yoga by Candace. I then did a 10 minute Developing Lotus Flexibility to help with Yoga Sitting Positions. I was also invited to become a ...

Monday morning I did 15 minutes on the elliptical on level 5, and then 15 minutes of doing 50 donkey kicks and 50 torso rotations with the 6 weight on the machine, which is 16 lbs. This morning, I started off my day with a short 20 minute gym workout. I did 10 arm presses with just the bar. Short people struggles at a gym lol  I then put on 17.5 lbs per side and did:  10 squats  10 lunges I then used this cable machine and had it on 6 again (16 lbs), and did:  30 torso rotations  30 donkey kicks  15 arm rows  and then ended my workout with these 20 leg lifts on this BOSU ball equipment I am now feeling a tidbit sore on my lower half. Looking forward to tomorrow!  ♡ **Suggestions are very much welcomed on how I can achieve more results. 

This fine Saturday morning, I enjoyed myself a nice Theraband workout. My favorite has been this arm routine from Denise Austin Upper Body Resistance Workout - Arms, Chest & Shoulders . I agree with her that the lat pull-downs are my favorite. Today I also tried her Lower Body Resistance Workout: Hips Thighs & Butt  using the Theraband. I think I needed to cut a longer Theraband, but for the most part The lower body Theraband workout was good too. I really like the Theraband! I got it from Secret Santa this past Christmas. I like that it gives you just a roll so you can cut it to the length that fits you and what you're working out. My mom also gave me these other resistant bands which are pretty awesome for squats, etc. Today I did 50 "crab-walk" squats with the Red "Heavy" band on my leg. I then semi-followed this 10 Min Headstand Yoga Practice from Yoga by Candace. It mostly consisted of my toppling over. I did learn a new technique though! I ...

I worked out for almost an hour this fine Saturday morning:  Stretched  25 leg lifts  25 scissors  50 crunches  Followed Boho Beautiful again with her Yoga for Weight loss winter video  30 side leg lifts and clams  50 inner leg pulses 40 standing side leg lifts with ankle weights and 8lb weights.  50 donkey kicks, fire hydrants, and rainbows with ankle weights  25 crunches  25 toe touch crunches  25 sides pulses  15 arm flies 8 lbs  15 tricep overhead dips 8 lbs  I use the Gold's Gym ankle weights, which I'm pretty sure I bought from just Walmart or something, possibly Amazon? I absolutely love them though! They're comfortable and give my workouts some resistance. The velcro is loosening, but over almost a year now, it has done it's job very well! The one's I got are 2.5 pounds per ankle weight.  The rest of the day I went on a small, unschedul...
