JockJams Vol. 1

January 21, 2015

I missed my post yesterday because I was tired and went to bed, not because I didn't workout. So, I'll take the time on my rest day today to catch up. Yesterday was an arms and yoga day. I had musical at school followed by speech, so in my 45 minute window, I slipped into the school gym and borrowed their weights.

I did the pin "Upper Body Workout Routine for Women"  http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273312271112768883/

Not sure why it's only for women, I think this would be a challenging routine for anyone. I had to Google a few of the terms on this one (lateral fly, tricep kickback, up and down planks) and this one did take me most of the 45 minutes I had. I walked 4 minutes before I started to warm up, then I stretched out. My legs and glutes were pretty sore after the Monday workout (so keep that one on your radar). I may dislike  up and down planks as much as burpies. That really rock abs and arms. I did most of these with dumbells ranging in weight from 5 lbs (for lateral raises) to 10 for most everything else. I did 2 sets through because I ran out of time, but I don't think I would really want to do it three time.

I am starting to see some definition on my arms, which isn't hard since I started with nothing. I am sore today in my shoulders, but not so much my arms. I'm assuming that will happen tomorrow.

After I got home from speech, I did some basic yoga moves. I wasn't following any pin, but just stretching out what felt sore and tight. Next month may be a 28 day yoga challenge...
