Today is a (non)rest day. I started to do Slim in 6 (Start it up) and decided to just do the intro, over and over again. I counted each segment 10 times then did the whole circuit. Then counted 20, then 30 and so forth, for each segment for 20 minutes. I'm surprised that just a "warm up" could get me pretty sweaty. Maybe it's just a warm up if you only do it twice through like Debbie Siebers does :). It's hard to explain what the intro is, so I will count it as low intensity cardio. It's a lot of knee lifts/arm raises, horizontal bicep curls/1/2 squats, triceps kickbacks/ham flexes, pectoral flies/steps--really hard to describe if you aren't familiar with Slim in 6.
Anyway, I did 20 minutes of that, and anticipating a lot of walking today. If I don't do as much walking as I think, then I am satisfied with the 20 minutes of low intensity/impact cardio.
I am extremely excited about school! I am finally taking the steps I need to go back and finish college. I printed out all of my unofficial transcripts and am only 3-4 classes (in Nevada) away from getting my AGS (Associate of General Studies Degree), which is the most generic Associates Degree someone can get! Changing my major multiple times will finally pay off somewhere lol! I also decided that when I go back to college (hopefully sometime this year) that I am going to take another physical education class, so that I won't have the excuse not to exercise. I will be scheduling it in, and making specific time for it plus I will have gym equipment, without the gym price! I am taking this blog and my new years resolution very seriously, so I do not plan to miss 1 single day of exercise, or cheat either (like count walking from class to class as exercise--total cop out!). I think this will be my best bet, but it's too soon to tell what exactly will happen (especially if I start working soon) but it sounds like a good plan :).
Hope you all have a great weekend! Make it count!
I can do this. I am a star.
