March Challenge details coming.....

Friday starts a new month. What will be your goals for the month?  Well, to help you get on track, add to your existing routine or just to try something new, I'm doing a March Challege that will start on Friday.  Make sure that you stay tuned to see what will be in store......

Updates......

This morning I had a great strength training workout.  Deadlifts are one of my favorite exercises. I'm probably going to be sore in my lower back though tomorrow from the DL's.  My lower back is one of my weakest areas that I need to continue to work on.  In due time, with continued workouts I will be a nice stronger, lean back.  :)  My C25K challenge is also going great.  I'm on week 3, day 2.  I'll get outside today after work to go for a run.  It's so beautiful and sunny here in NC.  How are you doing with your workout program(s)?

KILLER workout!

This morning I was back at the gym where I started working out a few years ago.  It was so good to be back.  The workout was SO KILLER that I'm not sure if I'll be able to walk tomorrow! We did chin ups, hack squats, push ups, deep squats, ab work and jump squats.  This was the first circuit. The next circuit was planks and burpees. Finally, we completed bear crawls, prisoner squat holds and jumping jacks.  It was the best workout I've had in a VERY long time.  I feel that I'm back where I need to be to get my workout program on track again.  I can't wait to see where I am in a few weeks.  What did your Monday workout consist of?

C25K program - Week 1, Day 1

I am a member of Black Girls Run in Charlotte.  Probably for about the last 6-7 months, I have not been active at all.  My running has pretty much become non-existent.  So, since spring is around the corner and there will be plenty of road races, I decided to start the C25K (couch to 5K) program. I downloaded the app "c25k free" to my phone so that I wouldn't have to worry about which day I was one, what the workout is, etc.  Yesterday was Week 1, Day 1.  I felt really good after my run and look forward to the next one.  Have you completed a C25K program?  Have you ever run a 5K? If so, what are your next goals?

Have not started Insanity yet.....

Well, today would have been week 2 of Insanity if I had started it last week.  Unfortunately, I had to put it off after dealing with a lot of family illness, in and out of the hospital.  I also had to make an unexpected trip back home to see some family members that are not doing so well.  Insanity is still in the picture but my family is first right noq.  Workouts are still getting done but not at the intensity that I would like.  I'm not a total slacker! :)  What are you currently doing with your workouts?
