Today’s Workout…
| August 23, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Today's Workout |
….was called ‘I need a new leg routine’. I finally did some squats today….first time doing them since my surgery so that was a bright spot in my morning workout, otherwise, I was definitely bored. Now I have to go patrolling the web and my old fitness magazine for some leg ideas. Right now I do squats (which I want to keep), deadlifts, leg extension, cable kickbacks, abductors, and adductors. I still can’t do lunges or impact anything. We’ll see… Continue Reading
Today’s Workout…
| August 18, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Today's Workout |
…damn near made my arms fall off. First of all, not only was my body aching from doing NTC two days in a row but I also did this killer arm workout, and cardio of course. The NTC definitely has my legs and back aching from all the jumping (which I still can’t do too much of due to my lovely feet) and lifting and twisting. Love it though. I’m thinking I my try a 45 minute NTC workout tomorrow.… Continue Reading

When you start up the app, everything is right there for you: do you want to do cardio, build strength, do specific focused but shorter workouts? Just pick then choose your fitness level. Then it pulls up a few workouts and all you have to do is pick one. I… Continue Reading
Why Carnival is Good for the Body….sorta, sorta not
| August 12, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Fun "Workouts" |
If you were going to be parading up and down the streets in a tiny bit of a “costume”, which is really just a bikini with some beads and feathers, wouldn’t that be enough motivation to get your a$$ into shape? Here is how the preparation for our carnival (generally) goes down: 3 months before carnival – your mas troupe (the group you sign up with to wear their costume) has what is known as band launching where their costumes… Continue Reading
Carnival is Over
| August 12, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Lazy |
Carnival is over and the return the normal life begins, albeit very slowly. It all ended last weekend and I’m still recovering. This week has been an absolute FAIL: I wasn’t as productive at work, I’ve barely cooked, I only managed to go to the supermarket yesterday to stock up on my normal foods, and my house is in need of a good cleaning. I’m regrouping and I’m almost back to being normal. Continue Reading
