Exercises 2/8 & a Note on How I am Feeling

Posted on February 9, 2015

2/8 Exercises:

Walked 3.10 miles with Fitbit for the Eat Drink & Be Skinny 100 Mile Month Challenge 30 Day Challenge Series.

30 Prisoner Box Squats for the 28 Day Beginner Squat Challenge from Fitbit Friends Group.

10 Squats (in addition to previously mentioned squats), 10 Pointed Butt Lifts each leg, 10 Fire Hydrants each leg, & 6 Heel Kicks each leg for the Blogilates 30 Day Butt Lift Challenge.

2 sets of 10 side planks on each side, 2 sets of 10 Russian twists, & 2 sets of 15 bicycle crunches - to each side of course for The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans 28 Day Lose the Love Handles Challenge.

I did not do Yoga which I have been doing 5-6 days a week and I feel like I am cheating myself, but I didn't feel very well tonight. I also have not been getting much sleep and instead of winding myself up with my Yoga video from the 21 Days of Commit to You guide from My Yoga Online, I decided to rest and try to get to sleep earlier than I have been.

I was also going to do another POP Pilates video today from Blogilates, but again, I did my challenges for the day and need to rest instead.

I haven't used my AeroPilates or my Sit 'N Cycle for a couple weeks now either and need to get back to those sometime this week too. I was going to post a blog from Dietbet showing my weekly totals of exercises from Feb 1-7 since I started some new challenges this month, but I will hopefully get to that later because for now I think I need sleep more than anything.

Prisioner squats, russian twists, bicycle crunches... I'm so out of touch with all the terms you used...but it sounds like you are SERIOUSLY on your game! Keep it up!

They are too big to copy and paste into the message box here. It's a good workout :)

Oh my gosh, are your legs killing you from all the squats, or is this something you do normally? either way, great job!

Surprisingly no. The squat challenge was the one I thought sounded the most brutal when I first saw it when I was collecting February challenges at the end of January. I had not done many squats until I started these challenges. However, it is the easiest of my challenges I am doing this month. The Lose the Love Handles Challenge exercises are the ones that are the toughest. I guess my Yoga practice has been strengthening my legs a lot more than I had realized. My legs burn during a lot of my Yoga videos from Gaiam TV - My Yoga Online. However, the squats are not really as bad as they sound.
