Also, I have re-visited one of the places that I haven't visited in a while.....Our home gym!!
I really want to make working out as important as going to church every week. I just think, God gave us these perfect bodies, and we don't take care of them.
On Monday, I was going to get on the elliptical, but when I got home from work, my hubby was already on it (with his dedicated self - love him!). He was running a marathon or something on the elliptical because he was on it forrrr-everrrr hahahah. Just kidding, but he actually did 4 miles in 30 minutes.
Since the elliptical was "occupied", I did the P90x disk - Legs and Back. I'm always more interested in working out my legs because I can usually see the results quicker. Also, I love to wear shorts and summer and swim suit weather will be here in no time. Not only did I do P90x Legs and Back, but I also did ab ripper X which as at the end of the legs and back disk (ab ripper x is 343 reps of ab exercises). I got pretty winded through the workout. .I could tell I was really out of shape. It astonished me how a person can get out of shape so quickly. I remember when I could pretty much complete the ab ripper X entirely....not so much now.
Let's just say that the next day (Tuesday) I was in PAIN from Monday's workout. I think I may have pushed it a little bit too far for my first workout. I got home from work a little early on Tuesday and really did not feel like working out, but my muscles hurt so much that I felt I needed to at least stretch. So, to the workout room I went. After stretching, I felt a lot better. I decided I could do today's workout, and I wasn't going to let this soreness stop me.
I jumped on the elliptical for 10 minutes while hubby did some weight training on his weight machine thingy (its kinda like a bo flex machine). I did pretty good, but I was definitely feeling tired toward the end.After the elliptical, I put in the Arms and Shoulders P90x disk.
I was really impressed with myself! I have to admit working out has made me feel pretty good from the endorphins.
Next, I might... just might try going to the free Ladies bootcamp in our neighborhood on Wednesday mornings.....but 5:45 am....ummm I don't know....but I will try one Wednesday, but not tomorrow lol.
Below are pics of our workout room. Its pretty bare bones....so its a work in progress. I want to get it painted, but once we have a baby, "baby X" as we call it, the workout equipment will be moved to Jerry's man cave. So, we won't paint it for now. Although, a nice yellow or orange color or light green could be appropriate for either sex for nursery, huh? hmmm, I will have to think about that.
I want to get a sign like this to put in the room
Break down of amount spent on workout room
