A Lazy Day

[tanyahyatt18]

I did My workout this morning and moved up in weight for my of the exercises I am doing by ten pounds, while it does not seen a lot it is and I felted it afterward, but I checked with the Coach at the gym and some of the guys I workout with and they all agreed That I could handle it, and that the weights I had been doing was becoming to easy for me

When I was doing weights, I usually stepped them up in 2.5kg (5½lb) increments and found that I was pushing myself right to the limit in doing that, so I'd guess that increasing it by 10lb is probably quite a big step up. Mind you, I suppose it depends where you're starting from and which exercise you're doing.

I felt the benefit of weight-lifting as soon as I started doing it. The first thing I noticed was that it improved my posture and made me stand tall with my shoulders back without me deliberately doing it. I felt a nice tingly tension in my body, and just felt more confident and positive altogether.

How long have you been doing the weights for?

Haha! Keep on shaking what you've got. I wish I could see that! 😂

I do 6 weight exercises then I do the bike and the jog machines. I will right a journal about what all I do xoxo

I started in 6th grade with Cheerleading but just lifting small wights that helped with what I did in cheerleader, then got into bigger weights as a senior in high school. xoxo

I put up a just me post for friends that show all my old pictures from flickr, fb and all, so you just got to go back some to see, I will be posting more old and some new like i Just did soon gain xoxo

I meant to have a scroll back through some of your old posts, but I haven't had time to do it yet. I always seem to have far more stuff to do than I can fit into each day! But I'll definitely have a look when I have a free moment.

I was just thinking last night that I should maybe buy a treadmill for when the miserable winter weather arrives and I don't want to go outside. I used to have what we call an exercise bike here (stationary cycle), but that was fart oo boring and I could never persuade myself to use it. Maybe a treadmill would be just as bad? Cycling outdoors is much less boring.

When yo have time you should go look xoxo

Also yes you should buy a few of them for bad days, I would say a Stationary Bike and maybe a few light weights 5 to 10 lbs to start with xoxo

I'm doing it! In a minute! 😄

I've got quite a few weights lying around in my flat. I have cast iron ones and sand-filled ones. I'd actually forgotten about them until you mentioned it. In fact, I wish I didn't have them, because they're going to be a real pain in the arse to shift if I move house! But yeah, that's a good idea. I could do curls to start with.

Take it easy to start, and use lighter weights on arm on your pacemaker side to start with xoxo

[rock_dinosaur]

Yeah, I'll definitely have to take it easy. I'm quite anxious about doing any exercise in case I push myself too hard. I'm sure it's better to do something rather than nothing though.

[tanyahyatt18]

Yes but just do little steps at first xoxo

[rock_dinosaur]

Yep, I'm doing it! 🙂❤️
