I won't miss the back fat I promise

Sorry for the delay in posts. I've been busy and tired. A deadly combo that makes you forget everything. But I'm committed to start posting every night with the next days workout just in case anybody is really following this and is counting on my posts to get back into shape. I think that it also helps motivate me. In any case I did 30 mins of yoga on Wednesday as well as all my push-ups, but yesterday I just ran out of time to do anything. This will happen, especially when you have kids going in all different directions and a pretty busy schedule.  Before I get to tomorrows workout I'm going to give a few suggestions that I thought of today while I was shopping in the grocery store. Which of course nobody as to really follow, but I'd feel better sharing anyway.

I can't help but stare at peoples carts while I'm waiting in line. So I look at the lady in front of me who is also pushing a newborn in her cart and I notice that she has more soda in her cart then I have ever consumed in my entire life. Then I also noticed all the crap that she was buying, mostly processed junk. I'm not a preachy type person, but after you've just had a baby drinking and eating that crap isn't helping anybody.  Stop drinking soda as your beverage of choice and start eating things that will help you loose weight, but also help you to get the most out of your workouts.

Okay, so here goes. Warm up with a 20min run and then some stretching. I will probably start the day with 30 mins of yoga, just to get all the muscles feeling good again. Then we are going to do the following:

3 sets of bench press increasing weight each time but declining reps. We will start easy.
45lbs 5reps
55lbs 3reps
60lbs 2reps

Next we are going to try to do at least three pull-ups, if you have just started working out and getting back into shape these are going to be pretty hard, but eventually you will work up to doing a good number of them.

These next 5 exercises you are to do as fast as you can (still being safe and keeping form) 5 times.
10 Dips (put the bench that you laid on for the bench press at your back, rest your elbows on it and dip down)
10 Armstrongs with 10lb weights in each hand. (use u tube to see the proper technique)
10 push ups
20 crunches with or with out stability ball
10 kettle bell swings 25lbs

Do a cool down of your liking, making sure you hydrate as you stretch.

This workout will work your back and arms. As well as other various parts of the body. Make sure you keep your heart rate up to get the best cardio workout.

I had so much more to write but as I sit here pretty tired from the day I can't think of a thing, except I really want to loose this weight and fit into my evening gown next month. I won't miss the back fat I promise. Just go away. Till tomorrow....

  1. I was in the store yesterday and to follow in your non-preachy footsteps, I'm thinking the gallon of Rocky Road Double Fudge ice cream this woman had in her cart COMPLETELY cancels out her Weight Watchers food she had next to it! Just an observation.
