Fitness Update: 01/24/08 - Kicking it up Several Notches
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged on vegan momma and my other websites. I’ve been working on a research paper which has kept me fairly busy. I’m happy to say I completed it yesterday. I tweaked it until I was happy with what I had written, and now it’s time to start working on articles for my clients.
I’m going for a mini escape for a few hours. I’m taking Aiyana to a play gym. She’s excited while she is playing mommy will be busy writing, working, and enjoying the fact that she is so happy. They also have wifi so I’ll be able to work while she is playing.
Earlier this morning I met up with R. You know R? The one that I was trying to meet up with last week. Well we finally connected. I’m so glad we did. We didn’t do too many free weights he put me through the paces with jumping jacks, springs, push ups, squat assists. He wanted to see where I’m at. He told me he was impressed. To say I’m feeling that workout would be an understatement. Of course I’m excited that I have a workout partner that is as demanding as myself.
We’ll be meeting at a lake tomorrow. It’s a little over a mile. It should be an excellent workout. R told me to be prepared to work out for 1.5 hours and to dress warmly. We chatted after our workout and learned we have many things in common. He seems to be a very nice man not only does it look as though I have a cool hangout partner I have someone I can interact with. After our workout we finally exchanged numbers so we won’t be missing each other when it comes to actually making our fitness workouts.
What are Your Fitness Goals?
R asked me that today and I told him my desire is to compete in figure competition. He was impressed. I told him of my weak areas and what I was going to do to improve them. I also told him I wanted him to push me hard. He’s been looking for a workout partner that will challenge him also so it looks as though this is a perfect fit. I’m really excited. Although my workouts with D are great and the workout intensity is high I don’t think it will come close to the workouts R, and I will have. D and I will still work out together. He’s rapidly moving into the friend category. He constantly checks up on me through phone and email to see how I’m doing our workouts are a chance to catch up, push each other. However, R takes it to another level. I pushed him also today. I’m very competitive and am not about to back down in our exercises. When I started getting exhausted he pushed me and naturally I returned the favor. I could tell he liked that. If I have today to go by, I know I’m going to enjoy tomorrows workout. I’m actually looking forward to the occasion.
These Exercises Can Be Done at Home
The beauty of the workout today, and the one we will have tomorrow is that a lot of them can be done at home. I’m going to talk with R and see whether he is ok shooting videos of our exercises in doing so those of my readers who want to incorporate them into their workout routine will be able to do so.
Question: How is your fitness routine? Have you noticed any gains? Are there areas you could improve
