Monday: Strength training, lifting pallets and 50 burpees. 100 squats.
Tuesday: 100 squats. Wednesday: 100 squats. 30-minute yoga session. Thursday: 2-hour walk in the cemetery. 100 squats. Friday: 2-hour walk in the cemetery. 100 squats. Saturday: 200 squats. (100 basic squats, 100 lunges) Sunday: 100 squats. 30-minutes of stretching. On Monday I spontaneously decided to do 50 burpees. I regretted that immediately after I did my first one. Unfortunately, I had already made my decision to do it and I finished it then slowly died after. Monday’s work out explains why I was lazy on Tuesday and only did the squats, but at least I did my daily squats. Wednesday through Friday were laid back. Now, Saturday, I decided to do not only my squats, but do more leg work. I should have spaced out the work outs because after my legs really hurt. I decided to do the work outs after my 8-hour training, and after I did it, I sat on the couch with my legs up. As for today, it was easy, but my legs are still sore. I actually got a cramp in my leg while doing my squats, that is what led me to do the stretching afterward. I intend to do my progress picture by next week. However, if I do not post it next week, I will post it the following week. Stay tuned for the ending of my 100 Squat Challenge. I will post a before picture and an after picture of my leg and booty progress. The last day of my challenge is August 13.

Saturday: 100 Squats. Sunday: 100 Squats. Strength training 100 lunges, 50 each leg. After this week my legs hurt! I am incredibly sore, but it is so worth it! I’m hoping after my 100 squat challenge my legs will be stronger and my booty will be lifted. I won’t give up no matter how much it hurts! Stay tuned for my next progress picture and more intense work outs! So, if you follow me on Twitter, you may know that I started a 100-squat challenge. In this challenge I do 100 squats every day for 30 days. I decided to do this challenge because it guarantees I work out every day even if I don’t do anything else. I won’t let my emotions affect my work outs again. Here is what I did during week five:
Monday: Strength training, lifting pallets, 30 second planks 10 reps. Tuesday: 2-hour walk in the cemetery. Wednesday: 1 hour walk in my neighborhood. Strength training, 10 burpees. Thursday: 2 hours of stretching. Friday: 2-hour walk in the cemetery. 100 squats. Saturday: 100 squats, 30-minute stretching. Sunday: 100 squats. 30-minutes of Yoga. I’ve done 300 squats so far in my 30-day challenge and my entire bottom half is extremely sore! I can’t imagine how I will feel the next 27 days. I am excited to see my leg and booty transformation with this challenge! Excuse my face in the picture. It's my attempt at smiling while taking a picture I am not happy with. I've only been doing daily exercise for a month and haven't changed my diet so I can't expect much progress. On the bright side, there is some progress. I have lost a few inches in my waist. It's not a huge amount, but it's something. I know if I change my diet, weight loss will come easier, but maintaining the diet is extremely difficult for me to do on my own. If someone else would join me on changing our diet I feel I would more likely succeed. Now onto week four:
Monday: strength training, lifting pallets Tuesday: 30 minute bike exercise Wednesday: Strength training, pallet lifting Thursday: 30 minute bike exercise Friday: 1 hour stretching Saturday: 1 hour walk through Walmart Sunday: Strength training 30 second plank for 5 reps. 30 minute walk. I had a harder week during week four and didn't do much exercise like I had originally planned. I felt depressed that week, so I did easy stuff that I knew I could do. I was also housesitting for my mom so I was pretty lazy. I'll do my best to not let that happen in the future. More updates to come. I am pretty sure you are tired of reading the same exercises every week, but here is the thing, with my job I am limited to very little time; so I do what I can. Here is exactly what I did this week:
Monday: strength training, lifting pallets and Tricep push-ups. I went for a 30-minute walk by myself in the neighborhood. Tuesday: 10 minutes of stretching. 20 minutes walking in neighborhood with Anthony and Kaleo. 5-minute dance session at work. Wednesday: strength training, planks for 30 seconds each, and lifting pallets. 30-minute stretching session. Thursday: 1 hour of Zumba. 20-minute walk with Anthony and Kaleo. Friday: strength training lifting boxes and moving pallets. 20-minute walk with Anthony. Saturday: 30 minutes of Yogilates. (Yoga and Pilates) Sunday: 30-minute walk in neighborhood. If you guys are reading this fitness journey and wonder why almost every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am lifting pallets, let me explain; I work as a job coach and I work at a few warehouses and they require me to help my participants lift and move pallets. I assure you I don’t just lift pallets for fun. I actually hate moving pallets, either with a pallet jack or just with my hands I absolutely hate moving pallets! They can get heavy and sometimes I get the jack stuck in the pallet. This week I really tried to incorporate a lot more stretching because I am not as flexible as I used to be, and I feel if I increase my flexibility, I will be able to do more exercises I can’t do right now. I have lost a few inches in my waist and I am pretty proud of that. Unfortunately, I have not lost any weight, but I am not going to let that stop me! I will continue this journey until December and hopefully by then I’ll have lost a few pounds, only time will tell. For next week's post, I will post my monthly update picture. |
