This morning I got up when my alarm went off at 6:30am and did:
Kaleigh Cohen Strength - 20-minute NO REPEAT SUPERSETS Full Body Strength Training
Followed by her:
15-minute POST-WORKOUT STRETCH for Injury Prevention & Flexibility
This is the start of my 10 weeks to Christmas. Who knows if I'll keep it up, but I will try.
It's not easy for me to get up at that time. Lately hubby has been waking up at 4:30 or 5:30 in the morning and always wakes me up and I struggle to fall asleep again. Then, when my alarm does go off I end up setting it half an hour later until I finally move sometimes at 8am - or if I do wake up I'll phaff on my phone until then anyway.
I want to get totally out of that habit and get up right away either to do a workout or go for a walk if the weather's ok. Ideally I'd workout 3 days a week and walk at least twice on week days as well, but I'll be walking to work 2 and 3 times this and next week respectively so that's a start already. Today I'll need to walk to the library to return a book later so that will be around 6k steps too. I'm still aiming for minimum 6k daily average for now and have hit that for the last two weeks.
We got a new Renpho Body Composition scale because last Monday hubby broke our old one. So I'm quite chuffed and got it set up yesterday. So my weight is still 69.65kg so that's my starting point. But, I usually record only my Friday morning weigh-ins on FS so I'll keep doing that so it will be interesting to see whether I can get close to my current FS reading by then.
My goal is just to get to below 65kg by Christmas. The body fat reading is 33.4%, which is in the red right now so I'd like to get that to 30% so it goes green - whether by Christmas or soon after would be good. I'd also like to increase muscle mass as I go, but as I'm starting off with puny 4kg dumbbells and just doing 20 mins three times a day that will probably only creep up very slowly if at all, so I'll see how I go.
The aim is to increase weight as I go, but I've usually only gotten up to about 6.5kg before, so we shall see. I have a 20kg total set so max would be 10kg each, but at the moment I could only manage a small set of leg movements with those so I'll keep it with the lower set up for now because I'd love to see some tone on my upper arms as I think I've probably mentioned before. Starting a bit slowly, but I can probably increase to 5kg and then 6.5kg pretty soon if I keep at it.
Anyhoo, Happy Monday to you all! Hope y'all have a great week! xxx
