Hey ladies!
Yesterday (Friday), it was super cold, windy, and rainy here in Boston, but that didn’t phase me – I woke up at 7:30AM and headed to the Emerson gym! New Balance Fitness Expert Holly Perkins told me to work out 5 days per week, and have 2 of those days include some kind of strength training. So I designated Friday to be one of my strength training days!
I originally went to do the Awesome Abs class, but my plans ended up changing a little bit… But either way, watch my vlog to see what kinds of strength training moves I decided to do! I don’t know the technical terms for them, but, hey, it’s the workout that counts, right?!
What I didn’t mention in my video is that after I got back from the gym (and finished recording my vlog), I sat down on my couch and rested my eyes… for 2 and 1/2 hours! I decided that since I got up so early to workout, I could reward myself by taking a nap!
So…
College Girl Tip of the Day: don’t feel bad if you need a nap… you deserve it! That’s one of the benefits of working out right at the beginning of your day – then you don’t have to feel guilty about what you do the rest of the day… you’ve already been productive!
Part of the reason I didn’t post this until today is that I can now vouch for the fact that, yes, my body is extremely sore today! Just as I expected when I recorded the video… My sides are the most sore – every time I laugh it hurts, or every time I twist my body in a certain way – but it hurts in the best way possible, because I know that I got a good workout yesterday!
Today is my day off working out, because I’ve been so good at working out for the past 4 days in a row! So I will resume my fitness plan tomorrow…
But for today, what I am trying to work on is…
SNACKING!
Since this past summer, I’ve been trying to eat small amounts of food more often throughout the day, because I get hungry so often (I guess that means I have a good metabolism?), and I get tired and dizzy if I don’t eat for too long. So I’m trying to change that! And snack snack snack!
I will explain more in another post, but that’s just a little hint of what I’m working on on my day off!
So take a break from your homework, and go get your strength training on! Get it out of the way so you can have fun tonight!
