I worked out my abs a little bit today! I did at least 10 reps of each, but no sets.

Jumping jacks until breathless

24 crunches

24 weighted sit ups

10 side plank dips per side

Leg raises

Russian twists (I did 3 sets, weighted and unweighted, but I dont know how many)

It was a really hot day today so I cooled off with a cold shower afterwards. Be sure to keep cool! 🌼😎

July 16, 2020 - Thursday and not a workout day!

I just wanted to apologize for literally not posting anything all week I havent been working out, but I havent been sedentary either. I went on walks and outings multiple times since the past time I logged anything and each one burned at least 200.

How you're getting sun and scenery! 🌼

July 08, 2020 - wednesday, normally a core day

I've been feeling a bit down again lately. I've lost my appetite again and I have no energy for anything. However, I went on a 10 minute jog today for the first time in a very long time (like, a year) and I feel proud of myself.

I'm gonna take some melatonin soon and I cant wait to sleep a good amount. Hope you're all getting rest 🌼

July 07, 2020 - tuesday! Not normally a workout day!

I was super busy yesterday and I didnt have time for any workouts. Today I did a back exercise, but I didnt do it as much as the original workout asked for because my back started to hurt. I might work on my core a bit more later, but for now I feel good about my small workout. Source: bethyred (IG), Back Bodyweight Workout, posted today.

My watered down version:

10× diamond pushups

10× alternating bird dogs, per side

20× supermans

20× high plank arm raises

I'll update this later if I work out more. If not, this is it! Hope you guys can get a small work out in, even if its tiny 🌼

july 4, 2020 - saturday and not normally a workout day!

-but I ddint work out Wednesday or friday, so i decided to do a small one today instead.

Aside from the first exercise, I didnt count any of my reps. However, I did:

10× elbow side plank hip dips, per side

Single 8lb russian twists

8lb chest press

8lb chest fly

8lb overhead tricep dip

8lb rows

8lb shoulder press

8lb bicep curls

8lb shoulder raises

8lb extended arm hold (not very long)

8lb hammer curls

Single 8lb glute bridges

I wanted to see if I could start incorporating 8lb dumbbells for a while now, and I'm finally at the point where I can increase my weight! I'm so happy, I cant wait to get even stronger!

I also went for a walk this week and burned 400 calories. My glutes have also been on fire for the past 2-3 days because I decided to do some squats while brushing my teeth a few days ago.

Heres to toned arms and a plump butt! 🌼

June 29, 2020 - happy monday!

So today I did a mix of an upper body workout on the nike training app and a few weighted exercises. The workout I did was called Upper Body Core blend and its normally 26 mins long, but I could only get through about 12 mins.

In order, this is what my workout looked like (including modifications and warm up):

30s Jumping jacks

20s high knees

30s low plank

30s single leg raises, per leg

30s glute bridges

1min walkout pushups from standing

20s shoulder gators

1min low plank on knees

1min bird dogs

40s reverse crunch

40s sit ups

1min twisted sit up, per side

1min "horse stance, push and pull"

20× chest press (2×8lb dumbbells)

10× slow punches, per side (2×5lb dumbbells)

15× tricep dips (2×8lb dumbbells)

20× flyaways (2×5lb dumbbells)

Now that I'm all cooled down, I'm going to have a bit of a protein shake. I'm slowly trying to incorporate 8lb dumbbells into my workouts and I think it's going great. Hope you guys get to achieve your goals too! 🌼

June 25th, 2020 - Thursday and not a workout day!

However, I burned upwards of 900 calories today walking around for hours. Normally, ppl burn around 100 calories for a 20 min walk. This doesn't include hills, how hot is it, and other sorts of factors like that. It was so hot today! I was sweating and there were many hills. I also didnt eat much at all which kinda sucked. I've lost my appetite a lot recently and today was the worst one yet

June 24, 2020 - normally a core day

..but I never got around to it. An emotionally wired day, I'm gonna at least do some stretches tomorrow to help make up for it.

June 23, 2020 - not a workout day!

Nothing super major, but I had to walk to the store today. I burned about 400 calories on my walk because its as little far and theres a lot if hills in my area.

Hope you guys get to enjoy the weather 🌼

June 22, 2020 - upper body monday!!

I havent been very productive today at all. I woke up and sat on the couch for 5 hours while eating a grilled cheese and not even paying attention to the TV. After a while I finally mustered the energy to get up! I decided to do a workout so the latter half of my day could be more productive than the first half; Better late than never. This workout only took 8 mins and I pulled it from the Nike Training app. I probably could have done more but my roommate just got home.

I warmed up my shoulders with some backwards arm circles, which the workout called for

2 sets of 30 sec each:

Low plank*

Hammer curls

Alternating bicep curls

Mountain climbers

Modified press-ups (bent knee pushups)**

Overhead tricep extensions

*The workout originally called for high planks, but my wrists arent very strong and I think I'm on the verge of tendinosis (like chronic tendonitis).

**I swapped out the second set of pushups for another low plank because my wrists were starting to die from the press-ups and mountain climbers

I did this workout while a hair mask was setting in my hair and now it's time to rinse it out! Hope you guys are taking care of yourselves today, and every day. 🌼

June 19, 2020 - happy lower body friday!

To start my routines, I usually do a bunch of jumping jacks and/or high-knees to get my heart rate up.

50 can openers per leg

50 raised can openers per leg

50 inner leg lifts per leg

25 leg lifts per leg

10 kettlebells using 2×5lb dumbells

40 glute bridges with a 5lb dumbbell on my hips

2×20sec glute bridge holds with the aforementioned dumbbell

20 donkey kicks per leg

It took about 10 mins but I'm sweaty. It isnt even 7am yet, I just havent been able to fall back asleep after waking up at 1am.

Hope you guys have a good start to your friday in one way or another 🌼🌼

June 17, 2020 - abs and core day wednesday!

I'm still feeling super down tbh. I just finished crying for like 4 hrs straight and so this workout wasnt very intensive.

25 russian twists (weighted with a 20oz waterbottle)

25 under leg circles (guided with a roll of toilet paper)

10 sit-ups

12 twisted sit-ups

~50sec elbow plank (bc my wrists are awful)

🌼 I hope you guys are staying safe and keeping happy 🌼

Remember that sometimes all you can do is manage and that's totally okay. Please don't compare yourselves with my productivity levels (whether you're bashing me or yourselves); I definitely dont normally work out on days where I'm typically sad, but I'm glad I was able to do a little bit today.

June 16 2020 - happy Tuesday!

No workout yesterday or Friday. I've been really down lately and I've just needed some time to manage and do nothing else. However, I was able to hang out with a friend for a cute walk an old childhood park of ours. It was absolutely lovely and we burned roughly 600 or more calories. The fresh air felt so nice.

Hoping you all get some fresh air and sunshine soon 🌼🌼
