Guys, I've tried to monitor this thread and give gentle, suggestive guidance and moral support. But, I've got to say that it's time some of you step it up a notch. I'm not seeing the weight melt away like we had envisioned.
There are a couple of things that I want you to incorporate into your routine. And really, these can be used throughout the day, as I do.
If you are not doing one, two, waybacks, then you are missing the boat. I like to start my workout with 3 sets of 5 reps with these every a.m. Then, I do them periodically through the day. Waiting in line at a store, pumping gas, waiting on a business meeting in a lobby--all places that you can get in a long set of one, two way backs. Stand up straight, bend at waist and touch your toes (1) stand back up and touch your with hands on waist (2) and then come up on your toes and reach your arms over your shoulders, as if you are diving backward (wayback). The completion of these three movements counts for one rep.
Also, skipping. I skip to my car, from the car to appointments, Wal Mart, or wherever I'm going. It's really amazing how many more calories one can burn skipping rather than traditional walking.
I was hesitant at first about skipping in certain situations, like going to church or a funeral but it's not really anyone's business how we get into shape. It's just important that we do it.
Personally, I'm doing more arm circles now than ever. I do little circles and big ones. Another thing that I do in my workout and throughout the day. I like to do big arm circles while I'm skipping.
WT is down 8 and still melting them away. Get of those fat asses and go, go, go!
