Ab Workout

Alrighty so my ab workout can be pretty random.
I have a few different things I rotate between because I have
retarded abs that if I can actually make them sore
they adjust quickly and stop becoming sore.

1 Min Plank(on elbows)
30 Second side planks (each side)
20 side bends (both sides with 15lb weights)
20 crunches with legs raised
20 sets scissor things (lay on back, right leg straight up and left leg hovering above floor, hold for 3 seconds then switch= 1 set)

That is basically what I try and do 3 times a week, sometimes I add other moves in but that is my basic :)

My Arm Workout

Work it.. Work it good!
Lol Yeah I'm lame I know..

 Anyway so I thought I'd make a post about what my workout routine consists of besides my running.

So on the days I don't run (usually Sunday, Tuesday& Thursday) *Saturday is my rest day unless I just can't get a run in on Friday then I just switch*

 

Okay so here is my arm workout

 

50 pushups 25 reps (girl push ups)

5 lb dumbbells

25-30 Bicep curls

20 Rows

20 Triceps extensions

20 Butterflies

20 Press'

 

I tried something different today and used 15lb dumbbells and did the same

routine (minus the butterflies and Press') but

only did reps of 8-10 except for the bicep curls

I did 12 of those and it was hard lol

 

I'm sure some of you studly people are going to think

this is a lame weak workout but hey, you just take your

studly butt and go judge someone else!

I am working my way up and getting stronger and this

is just where I am right now.

I am pretty proud that I can pump out 25 pushups without stopping.

Yeah they are girl pushups but I say they still count so woohoo!
Actually today I made it to 41 before I died and had to rest lol Not sure
where that burst of energy came from but I liked it!

 

I will try and get a post of my AB workout up next :) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Body After Baby

Hello!

So I decided to start documenting my journey to get

 back in shape after having this sweet little

guy right here :)

He was born April 30th (day after my birthday) weighed 7lbs 06oz

Sweetest little monster ever! lol

 

During the last month of pregnancy I was so ready to get back

out there and start running again that I attempted it too soon

and hurt myself lol So after some resting I slowly tried again.

 

I started out by working back up to being able to run 2 miles.

After not running for 9 months that was a lot harder than I thought it'd be.

Last summer I ran outside mostly but this summer has been way too hot

so I've been running indoors on the treadmill 3 days a week.

On my off days I've been doing arms and abs if I'm not dead

from running then sometimes legs as well.

I'll make a post with all the fun details of my workouts soon!

 

It's been a little over three months since Dean was born, I have

gotten back down to my prebaby weight of 160.

I would love to get down to 145-150 but I'm just not sure

my body is capable of getting into that range without

having to starve myself and workout like a psycho on crack lol

So my goal is to keep working out and get toned.

The number isn't as important as getting toned and fit.

At least that's what I keep telling myself lol

I'm trying to stay positive and not be so damn hard on myself

Doesn't help that I have a very skinny younger sister (big hooker lol)

But she hasn't had any kids.

SO once again, be nice to yourself Sam! Grr

 

I am setting a goal to be kinder to myself

to eat healthier

and continue my journey to getting fit!

 

SO here is my progress so far!

 

 

 

1 Month after Dean                                      3 Months after

 

 

 

So there has been a definite improvement but I still have a long ways to go!

 

Hopefully putting this out there will help keep me motivated!

Check back and I'll post some more awesome info about my journey

to get fit!

:)
