Week 1 Exercise and Check In

Exercise Challenge Week 1

Cardio Exercise: 
Choose 3 days this week to Walk, Jog, Bike, Run, Jump or Swim for 20min.
Alternate your 3 days of Cardio with your 2 days of Strength Training

Strength Training:
Choose 2 days for this circuit
Do the strength training 2times a day (if possible) 
You can use small dumbells if you want or a full water bottle or can of beans. =)
Do a quick warm up (honestly I don't because I've already been up walking about to get the kids ready for school) Otherwise do something like jumprope, run in place....

Shoulder Press: 10-12 reps  - Stand with feet apart, hold weights (or start without any) by your ears and push up towards ceiling (holding stomach muscles tight) don't lock your elbows though.

Squats: 10-12reps - These are done as if you're going to sit on a chair. I actually started out using a chair (check out Amanda Russells bun workout from a previous post) this way you know you're not cheating. =)

Push Ups: 10-12 reps - I do Ladies push ups as it puts less strain on my back and a previously broken toe.

Lunges: 10-12 reps - If you need an example check out this video as to how to do them properly

Tricep Dips: 10-12 reps - Still not a big fan of these. I actually ended up doing the dips from the 5 Bridal Workout video

Wall Sits: At least 2 reps - Hold for 20 - 30 seconds

Bicep Curls: 10-12reps - Again you can use dumbells or a can of beans or water bottle

Abs: I do at least 15 sit ups everyday (actually start my workout that way) I have noticed a HUGE change in my stomach muscles and the 'flab' that hangs over my pants from doing these everyday for the past about 3 weeks.

You Can Do This!!!!!!!!
So You Slip Up..........Don't Give In and Stop......Push Through!!!
