Weightlifting. At my gym we have the "machine" that has 3 different stations. There are 6 different arm exercises and 1 for legs. I do two sets of 12 reps each. On arms I can only do about 20 lbs. a few of them I can do 30 lbs. Legs I do around 40 lbs. I also do an exercise with 15 lb. dumbell. Hold with both hands with arms straight over my head, bend elbows and lower weight behind my head and them back up. This is suppose to be good for the udner arm "wings". They say if you do some weights before your cardio that you'll burn fat and build more muscle.
Then I move to the treadmill. I've been doing a mile in about 20 minutes. The speed is at 3.2 and 1.5 incline. Works up a good sweat and burns about 100 calories. I'm slowly working up my speed and time. I'm hoping to get 2 miles in 30 minutes. It just takes time.
After treadmill I go to the exercise bike or the rowing machine. I'll tell you what the rowing machine really works you out!! It works your stomach, back and legs at the same time. I do about 15-20 minutes on it.
That's about it. It's not real fun but I have a friend that I work out with and we use the time to talk and have some girl time.  |
Wow Susie! What a workout - that is a lot of work. Do you ever feel burned out on it?
