Fat Loss Quickie Home Office Workout – Day 10

Okay, I have to admit this, I’m dragging a bit. If I hadn’t commited here that I would do this, it would be really really easy to quit now. My muscles are feeling good and tired. I can feel them getting stronger, but definitely am needing my hubby’s heating pad each day now.

Actually, I feel good doing the workouts and when I’m sitting, but when I start moving again -oh wow… These cardio workouts are finding muscles that I’ve been neglecting.

Anyway, Monday was day 10 of my 30 day Fat Loss Quickie workout goal, and today’s strength workout was about legs and abs. It’s 15 minutes long and feels really good actually. I didn’t need to modify anything.

My husband watched part of the workout and determined that I could do more than he could (amazing!), and then left the room citing “Exercise might be contagious” as his reason…hmm….what was that Scott was saying about role models?

The 10 minute cardio workout involved jumping jacks, which I can do, but I wasn’t dressed appropraitely for it (no sports bra on), and the first two I did in that room ended up with my hand hitting the ceiling fan, so I modified that to side steps with overhead arm movements (same basic movements but no jumping involved). the rest of the cardio workout went well.

One thing I like about these cardio workouts is that they use exercises that really work a lot of the body, or incorporate bodyweight exercises within them, just done at a higher intersity. And…we only do the exercise for 30 seconds, before moving on to the next exercise. So that makes it more doable in my case…I can do 30 seconds of about anything.

The mindset materials today included another 11 minute change series video and a short motivational audio from Scott. Listened/watched both while sitting on the ball again, and that is working out well.

I’m not breaking up the exercise through out the day like I did in the first week, mostly because I’m really wanting to get the cardio in and I’m afraid if I leave it for later, I won’t come back to it. So I’m just getting it all done in one setting, and that’s working for now.

So, 10 days into this and I’m feeling it. Only 20 more days to go.
