A New Goal

I have made a decision to starting going to the gym Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday straight from work. That means not even going home first. I am finding if I go hone first than I don't end up going. So wish me luck this week. I also need to be more productive in keeping this blog to show my progress and keep me motivated.

Back to it

Yes, still have this blog. I have start a new routine. Let's hope I stick with it. Last November I started a new full time job which requires sitting a lot, which means my body is not use to it. Since I have had a somewhat activity job the past 7 years in childcare.

Well I had the last straw a bout a week ago. When my right foot, ankle and calf were feeling numb and cramped off and on. I believe in was because my hamstrings were so tight.

This last week I have been get up around 6:30am and 7:00am and excising. toning the muscles and slow getting them active again. So far I have not had any numbing and cramping in the legs.

Nike Training Club

After I received my tax return this year I decided to spend some of it on me. Since the last few years it has all been going to my debit.

Don't judge!!

Don't worry about $400 of it went to my credit card and the rest went to a new ipod touch. Since the one I received from my brother Dan for free finally died. I need something to motative me to workout and give me variety in those workouts. 

When I received the itouch in mail, the first thing I did was look for free apps for fitness and I found Nike Training Club. All I have to say is, 'It looks easy but it does challenge you.' I have been doing a 2 workouts a week. The first 2 days I was only able to complete 15-20 mins of a 30 min. workout but now I am finding myself pushing myself to finish the whole 30 mins. 

I do struggle to make it through each one and it is not easy for me. But I have to say is is a great app if you want a challenge and you don't know what exercise to do to get the results you want.

Zumba

Here is my new cardio work out.  

Zumba for the Wii!!!

So far I love it!

Physical Wellness and Exercise

So people ask me why I work out i am so thin. Well here is the answer...

Physical wellness doesn't not mean being a sixe 0 with no body fat. It means taking care of your body: eating well, exercising, nurturing self-care all part of the ongoing maintance that the body requires and deserves.

Physical movement is an essential part of this self-care: exercise to increase cardiovascular capacity, balance hormones and keep your body at a reasonable weight, as well as strength and flexibility training to keep it limber and responsible to respond to life's changes.
