got a workout but an aggravation morning

don't ya just get tired of asking ppl in the house to help out with responsibility?! seriously was it so hard to help your child cut her nails and make sure you wrote ALL the chores on the chore board? now i have to rush to eat breakfast cut viola's nails and now afternoon activities have to be altered b/c chores that were suppose to be added this morning were not!!!! dh is going to get an earful in a minute but onto my workout.

this morning i was FINALLY able to get to my all about series rotation. today i went with all about arms tubing and gliding. the tubing was similar to her strength toolbox workout but different exercises were thrown in. she moves fast does about 8 reps for 2-4 sets. it was roughly 12-15 minutes of hitting all parts of the upper body starting with chest and ending with back with shoulders(lots of shoulders) biceps and triceps inbewteen. she doesn't focus alot on the "arms" so to speak but lots on all angles of the shoulders(including back). the gliding works more arms,chest, and back/core. as with gliding you can guess alots of sliding around.with the gliders the more pressure you put on the discs the more resistance you get moving it around. got a great burn in the triceps and mid back/shouler area. this works a little core with the some of the moves and of course just to keep balance! this was about 14 minutes.

then i moved onto some lighter cardio with 10 minute solution kickbox bootcamp. i did the arm scupltor where you do punches with weights(and quicker without) then i did the basics for more punch and kicks. i modified up a bit on the basics adding in some back kicks and going straight to the move instead of building up like she does. it was just perfect intensity for the rough morning.

well i am working this week(i though for sure i would be one of the ones laid off for the exam week) so i will keep moving as much as i can. i haven't weighed myself in a few days but the last time i did i was at about 135. i was aiming for about 6 more pounds to start. i just don't carry the little bit of weight well but i feel my strength getting better again!
