NO.
I have a goal to do one cardio workout this weekend at our local fitness center. I will not do anything with weights/strength training because my trainer said my muscles need to rest.
But I can certainly hit the Elliptical Trainer and the Treadmill down there, ride a bike and perhaps do some crunches. She has me do 3 different kinds: vertical crunches, 1/2 bikes & straight leg.
I will not weigh myself again til next week, but I am soooo hoping for another 3 lb loss. I am trying to focus a bit more on my nutrition now that I am in the "workout groove". My calorie range is 1,200-1,500. 2 days this week I have gone over that upper limit just a bit. I need to get that under control. Today has been an awesome day calorie wise..one day at a time.
I am super super proud of myself for successfully completing 5 straight days of working out! 3 days of 90 minute weight/strength/cardio workout and 2 days of pure 60 minute cardio workout. And I super surprised to find out how much I am enjoying it!
Thanks for sharing my journey...
Congratulations on the progress! It sounds like you are doing really well. This is only my third day of serious exercising, but I hope that I will soon get to your level.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on taking the kids to the pool tomorrow, and then for a walk in the park afterward. I still need to be able to squeeze in at least 30 minutes of strength training though.
