So earlier today I said I would take a nap. But......
I bucked up and worked out instead.
And I feel EXHAUSTED. I only worked out for the time period between when I last wrote and now, but I did some hardcore calisthenics.
I did 50 burpies, and may I say, I had forgotten how hard they actually are. I did them in sets of 10 rather than all at once, and if I think I can handle it in about a half hour, I might do some more. 50 more.... haha
I saw a tutorial on burpies online the other day where after you jump out you bring your knee in on each side. I think even being in shape as I am trying to be right now, that would be a real challenge for me.
I also did a few sets of squats and lunges, as well as sit ups and attempted pushups. I really need more upper body strength. In my life there have been alot of things I have a hard time with physically. Flexibility in my hips, pushups, and pullups being some of those. Last year when I took a hardcore ballet class everyday, I got to the point where I did the splits for the FIRST time in my entire life. I was only able to do them with my right leg forward, but to me it was a really triumphant moment. I wasn't even close to that flexible as a kid, and I did it as a 20-21 year old. I don't ever have any issue with plank abs or "girl" pushups, but I can never do a full pushup. You know... with legs out... chest an inch from the ground pushups. Even with my Dd boobs I still cant do it. So that is for sure one of my goals I want to reach this year. Be able to do a somewhat ...larger... amount of pushups PROPERLY.
Any suggestions?
Has anyone ever tried the "perfect pushup"? I've been tempted to see if those make them harder or easier. especially since part of my pushup problem revolves around my wrists. Any suggestions would not hurt my feelings.
I am really ...spacey and distracted right now, so if either of my blog posts today don't make a terrible lot of sense, I apologize, and hope I wont be this way next time. I was washing my face a couple minutes ago and I couldn't bend over the sink without my legs shaking like crazy. I'm guessing that's a sign that I got a really good leg workout.
I think I am done working out for today. As far as strength training and the like. Sometimes I wonder how much training it really does take to have the "personal trainer physique" I dream about at night. I know alot of it comes down to eating a really strict diet, which I'm working on little by little, but it does make me wonder how many hours a day a personal trainer exercises for. Imma google that right now..... dum dee dum dum dum.....couldnt find it.
Oh well. I got distracted watching a few workout vids on youtube..silly me :)
Well I gotta go. Love you long time
