So how did you do with last week's challenge? In the interest of full disclosure (and to help anyone feel better about any of their own shortcomings this past week) I did not meet the goal on two of the seven days. However, meeting the goal for five of the seven days still makes me feel like a success because it is MORE than what I was previously doing. Funny how perspective works, eh?
With that said, I'm moving on and building upon week 1's challenge with week 2's challenge.
Week 2
1. Begin incorporating weights into my workout routine
With my doctor's approval, I can now include the use of weights in my workout routine. (Slowly!)
2. Start incorporating abdominal workouts into my routine.
PLANKS!
As God-awful as planks can feel after several of them (and after holding the position for a certain amount of time), my doctor relayed to me that they really are one of the best ab workouts because of how much of your ab area they work.
I'll be looking around Apple's app store for good workout apps. I have used "Ab Workout" in the past (they have a free version) and enjoyed it.
They have mini videos of each of the ab moves on it so it's like having a personal instructor on your phone.
If you have any good iPhone workout and/or fitness apps, pass them along!
Week 2 challenge--who's with me??
Cheers,
Samara
