New Workout Program

My new workout routine loosely is strength training three times a week, yoga/pilates two to three times a week, daily bike/walk and long distance bike one to two times a week. I'm going to start doing a weekly update on Sundays (separate from Sunday Stills) reporting what I accomplished during the week. That way if I slack off you guys can give me the virtual kick in the pants I need to stay motivated lol. :D

Week One

Strength Training: Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday
Yoga/Pilates: Tuesday (15 minutes - arms too tired after strength training) & Saturday (10 minutes - again did it after strength training - need to do it on a different day)
Biking: Tuesday (1 mile), Friday (1 mile), Sunday (5.7 miles)
Walking: Friday (1/2 mile)

So not bad for the first week. I need to be more consistent on the cardio for sure. Especially since that's the dog's exercise too. It's been really hot, so I've done what I can. :)

My strength training consists of a beginner workout (because I have no muscles) on the Bowflex (approx. twenty minutes). I've been doing approx. one set of ten reps (need to start doing two sets soon) of Bench Press, Seated Lat Rows, Crossover Rear Deltoid Rows, Biceps Curl, Triceps Pushdown, Leg Extension, Standing Back Extension and Seated Abdominal Crunch, most of it at twenty five pounds. I can do the shoulders at thirty pounds, but my arms and back are pretty weak. I can do abs at thirty pounds, but I don't like it because it burns (I know I'm a wimp) and the legs depend on how long of a day at work I had since I'm standing all day lol. So I've mostly been doing twenty five pounds. Next week I'm going to add a second set of ten reps to everything and then the week after that increase the weight. I don't want to push too hard and injure myself so my plans are definitely not set in concrete. :)

Sorry if this is boring, but I think it will help my motivation. Maybe, just maybe, I'll do before and after pictures when I finish the six week challenge on the Bowflex.
