Work-Out Information

I thought I'd share with all my lovely followers (and all of you who simply come because I spam facebook/twitter with the link) my work-out routine.

Atleast three days a week I run roughly 3.5-4 miles at the gym. (I set the treadmill to 5.0mph, but sometimes I move it up during the 2nd half of my run, but I do always finish with a sprint)

Atleast once  a week I try to run for a period of one hour. Which means that I should cover anywhere from 5-6 miles by the time I finish with the "cool down"

Atleast twice a week I try to do "power yoga". I watch a video on Netflix (direct to my PC). It's about 42 minutes. When I do that, I try and go to the gym and bike or do a short run (about 20 minutes of cardio). However, sometimes I'll just do the 40 minute "power yoga". Like, I don't know, when there's 20 inches of snow on the ground and walking to the gym is out of the question.

This isn't what I do every week, and I do normally take atleast one day completely off of working out a week, but I try not to do more than two. Sometimes because I really just don't have time, and other times because I'm just plain tired.

In addition to all of that I'd like to get some of the small dunbells from Target or Wal-Mart (5lb-10lbs maybe?) and start working on my arm muscles. My biceps are mildly toned somehow (not sure from what, probably from the massive school bag I bring everyday). but my triceps could really use a little work. I think the little dunbells are only like $5 each so I think it could be a worth-while investment. I'm not trying to look 'buff' I just don't want flabby arms.

What is your workout routine???

For all my friend's trying to lose weight or tone up

Hello everyone! I know a lot of my friends are getting into exercise, and are trying to get healthy. A lot of people are talking about how they want to loose weight, tone up, or just simply find out where to start out with working out. I subscribe to SarahsFabChannel on YouTube and she posted a video earlier about how she was going to post a series of videos with different work-out routines. From what I gathered they won't simply be "Do 5 sit ups, then do 5 push ups", but she will teach you what kind of exercises people in your situation should work on. If you're interested at all I'm embeding the video I just referred to below. You should really check her out if you're interested in a healthy, "fit', life-style. Even if you don't like her, definitely search YouTube for other fitness gurus. There are tons of them out there, so even if she's not your style, I really do suggest searching around for someone to give you motivation.



PS- This is my 99th blog post, and I'm trying to think of something exciting to do for #100! Please let me know what ideas you guys have! :)

Good Morning Darlings!

Hello everyone and Good Mornin!

That's right, I'm updating my blog at 5:45AM, whatevs. So I'm up and awake and looking at the snow forecast wboc is saying that we'll get 6-12 inches of snow. I just checked accuweather and they're saying that we are going to get like 10+ inches of snow, 1.36 inches of rain, .3 inches of ice, and gusts of wind close to 59 miles per hour. PHEW. I'm not sure, I want to buy it, I really do but I'm just not sure. If you look at the weather map, it shows this HUGE front that is going to come over us, but I really just have a bad feeling its going to be an all rain event, or go just north of us, as always happens.


Argh, I'm trying not to but I'm really getting my hopes up about this :( I know we're going to have to go to school on Monday and I am just going to be so heart broken when that happens.

Anyway, you might be wondering WHY ON EARTH I'm up so early. I gotta hit the gym this morning before I have class at 9, because I have a bad feeling they won't open this weekend, and if they do, I probably won't want to venture over there. Since I ran so far yesterday I think I'm going to do a 30 minute run this morning, and then just bike for 20... I know it's pretty lame, but I just don't think I have running far in me this morning !

Alright, well it's way too early for me to have real thoughts, so I suppose I'll go!

Ta-ta-for-now!
