Last weekend I had asked mon Daniel to show me some new moves that could improve my workouts and help boost my toning - I had hit my plateau last month. Dan came over Tuesday and did a wrkout with me at home to show me proper stance and positioning. Plus he drew out two other workouts for me to try so that I can alternate my sessions so as not to get bored.
Tuesday, I did Push (essentially pushing weights around, working the core and arms).
Thursday, I did Pull (pulling weights, working glutes and core).
Friday, I did cardio before going out to a party. Timing was tight, but glad to have gotten it in!
Today I did Legs (Lunges, squats and leg curls - am I ever wobbly now!)
I round out each session with 5-10 minutes of intense yoga poses to increase cardio (Warrior, Lightening Bolt and Crow).
It's only been a week - and I'm getting impatient to see results, but Dan is definitely keeping me grounded and is so supportive of my personal goals. Lisa also told me not to get impatient and that it takes about 4 weeks to see results from a new routine. And considering it's Christmas and there's loads of goodies circulating, I will likely not see results until mid-January. But hopefully, I'll accomplish my goal by the end of February - to fit into my size 28 jeans. Right now I fit into my 29's, but they're a bit snug.
Daniel is very sweet because he told me that he likes me as I am, which is what I was hoping to hear! Still, it's awesome to have that support for new goals too. I imagine some gals might get offended by having their boyfriend give them tips on how to be healthier and more trim, but this is what I want, so I'm embracing his advice with open arms. Though I did make it clear to Daniel to not be too preachy to me - that this is ultimately my goal and not his to work on.
*sigh*
Life is great :
