Readers Workouts 8/30

Here are my steps for the week. I did pretty lousy this week. We did some work around the house though that doesn't show up in steps.   My current plan is to do cardio on Tuesday (60 mins), upper body on Wednesday, cardio on Thursday (60 mins), a total body workout on Friday, cardio on Saturday (60+ mins), and a core workout on Monday. I'm also trying to do a 10 minute-ish Pilates workout each day. Tuesday - 60 mins running, 10 mins walking at park Wednesday - half hour whole body workout Thursday - 30 mins elliptical Sunday - Swimming Monday - 10 mins Pilates, 15 mins core I usually listen to a book while I'm walking, jogging, whatever. This week I finished The Rook by Daniel O'Malley and started The Terra-Cotta Dog by Andrea Camilleri. Food log: Monday: banana and coffee; sausage, sweet potato, apple hash; taco salad (on lettuce); Twix 2016 miles: 296 How was your week? Readers’ Workouts is hosted by Joy at Joy’s Book Blog ....

#ReadersWorkouts 8/2

Here are my steps for the week. Not really, though. I didn't wear my Fitbit when I went swimming - I don't trust the water resistance, and I let it die sometime yesterday. It's charged now though.   My current plan is to do cardio on Tuesday (60 mins), upper body on Wednesday, cardio on Thursday (60 mins), a total body workout on Friday, cardio on Saturday (60+ mins), and a core workout on Monday. I'm also trying to do a 10 minute-ish Pilates workout each day. August is a new start, right? Tuesday - 20 mins step machine, 40 mins elliptical. 5 mins Pilates stretching- the dog decided it wasn't a good idea. Thursday - 20 mins step machine, 40 mins elliptical. Saturday - Went swimming Sunday - Short walk with dog. Monday - 20 mins core, 10 mins Pilates abs I usually listen to a book while I'm walking, jogging, whatever. This week I'm listening to A Midsummer’s Equation by Keigo Higashino. My new goal (which shouldn't really have to be a...
