On monday I exercised pretty thoroughly. I basically did everything that I mentioned in my "session 2" post. I did a lot of stretching (old school gym-class stretches). I did upper-body lifting exercises like lifting a weighted bag (like i said, ghetto methods goin on here) for biceps and also triceps. I've been doing somewhere around 4 rounds of 30 lifts for biceps and only about 2-3 rounds of 10-15 lifts for triceps. I have weird joints and so every time I try to lift for triceps (lifting my arm strait out from my side) my shoulders pop on the way back down. I don't know if its because I'm doing it wrong (I don't believe so) but it's really strange and icky feeling. I did crunches too, maybe about 30 in all. I tried a few different "crunch" methods, I did the traditional style, then I did the one where you lie flat on your back and go back and forth lifting each leg up at a time (at the hip joint keeping your leg strait) similar to what is seen in the water exercise in G.I. Jane. Then I did a crunch exercise where you, again, lie flat on your back and it looks like your climbing really steep steps, just bringing each leg up at a time (bending them at the knee). I've been hoping that doing crunches will help me with my attempt to get rid of my pot-belly-ness. Then, of course, I rode the bike, for only about ten minutes though cause I actually tired out my legs a lot already with all the stretching and exercises I did. Then I had to shower and eat quick because I have bible study on monday nights. But yeah, that's about it. See ya next time!
Like I said in the last post, I'm sorry these are so late, thanks for the patience (for whoever has possibly been following me at all). If I end up never getting time during the week to update right after I exercise then I might end up saving some notes as drafts and then posting their finished products at the end of the week. Which is what happened this week due to being back at college again...
