Josh and I recently started doing low carb ... again. This time, however, I've decided to "take it up a notch". Monday I enjoyed my first day of aerobics! (Classes are every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings.) I definitely think it's something I can stick with.
Monday, we did step aerobics for about 30 minutes, then worked on toning the arms for 15min and finally abs for 15. I used the 3 pound weights to get started when toning our arms, not wanting to overdo it on the first day. They didn't seem to do anything for me. Maybe it's because I carry around a 40+ pound little boy everyday. Overall, I kept up better than I thought I would, only taking "breaks" to figure out what the heck we were doing.
Tuesday, when I arrived, all the "regulars" were complaining about how they "hated" Tuesdays. I admit, that kinda scared me but it didn't send me running out the door. We skipped the step aerobics this time and hit the floor. Jumping jacks (100 of them), lunges (4 to 5 times across the room ... about 60 altogether) and leg lifts (about 55 on each side) were just a few of the leg toning exercises everyone just loved doing for 45 minutes. For the last 15 minutes of class ... back to working on those abs.
Thursday was pretty much a repeat of Tuesday. However, this time we got homework ... do at least 15 minutes (the instructor preferred 30) of abs and walk, even if it's marching in place, for at least one hour at home over the weekend. I think I can handle that. Especially since one little girl has been asking "Can you teach me a new exercise?" Unfortunately, she doesn't last nearly as long as my classmates.
If you know anything about Myra ... it must be an attention span problem because she's no where near being low on energy.
