exercise 5 times per week

i’m already exercising 4 times per week…successfully for almost a year.

Saturday 9/6 – Ran 2 miles

Get up at 6 a.m. and head to the gym to do aerobics and strength training.

This is so not happening these days. I’ll commit to being better about tracking my exercise and see where it leads.

No exercise this week as I have been under the weather. The one day I walked across the bridge to the office caused dizziness for hours.

As I said, I added the routines back in beginning on Monday. On Monday I did the Winsor butt and thigh, on Tuesday I did the Winsor arms, on Wednesday I didn’t feel good and spent the time I would have worked out in the bathroom. However, today I did 20 minutes of the Advanced Pilates for Everyone. It kicked my butt. I may consider dropping down one level for a couple of weeks.

This one is falling behind. I did not feel good over the weekend, cramps and the like, so crunches did not appeal to me. I’m focusing more on what I eat this week and how that makes me feel. I plan to add exercise to my focus next week.

Today I did a 10 minute routine because of some morning time constraints-mainly that I don’t like to get up early. I’m still noticing the tightness in my thighs during the straight leg stretches-I cannot pull my legs back as far as I could two months ago. Also, they won’t straighten out completely. I’m hoping that continued practice and the addition of some yoga will loosen this all up.

This week I practiced 17 minutes of Pilates on Tuesday, did a 20 minute workout with Gilad on Wednesday, and did another 17 minute Pilates workout today.

I’m feeling a lot of tension in my mid-back area-possibly from the Gilad workout yesterday. Also I’ve noticed that my legs are not nearly as flexible as they were before the move. I cannot pull them towards me very far-and my position in several movements has been compromised because of the tightness. Hopefully, adding yoga and a 60 minute pilates session on the weekends will solve this problem.
