Circuit Training

Happy Monday! I was ready for "Upper Day 2" this afternoon, but got an email from Rod this morning with something new....circuit training! I have never circuit trained before (big surprise when I haven't worked out since High School, everything is new to me!) so I wasn't too sure what to expect. I had an unbelievable workout! I dislike "resting" between sets. Today there was no resting. I took about 30secs after I finished 1 set each of 2 exercises. It was perfect. Kept me moving! Plus I downloaded some new songs for my iPod. Never underestimate the power of song.

So, still no pics! My neighbor was coming over on Saturday, but she got busy and I got busy running the kids around town so we never met up. I'll keep trying! I want to get them before I am too far into training. I have finished 2 weeks of "really" working out. I can see some new definition in my arms, shoulders and back - but that doesn't surprise me. I don't carry too much fat in my upper body and seem to build muscle quickly. My lower body - another story! I have actually gained a layer of fat on my mid-section. I think this is due to cutting back my cardio. Brenda told me to maybe cut back on the food intake a little so the past 3 days I have tried. I took some measurements on Saturday to post with my pic, but I'll do it now since I'm not sure when I'll get pics up:
Bicep - 12in
Chest - 34in
Belly button - 27 1/2 in
Hip - 33 1/2 in
Thigh (upper) - 21 1/2 in
Thigh (mid) - 20 1/2 in
Weight - 128lbs

My week: tomorrow I will only be able get in my stretching, JJ is out of town, again - I could never imagine being a single mother. I live the life for 6 days and I'm done! Wednesday will be Leg Circuit day...I'll be posting an update then!

Live your life!
