Fitness Makeover Day 13: walking the neighborhood.

A week ago I discovered Cardio Trainer, a really cool Android app.  It uses GPS to measure just how far I'm walking.  Yesterday, I walked 46 minutes.  The device tracked my route (I could watch it), allegedly burned 216 calories (I don't see how when I never entered my weight).  I walked 3.4 km and had an average speed of 4.5 km/hr.  When I got home I did a quick bodyweight workout in a 21-15-9:

• modified dips
• situps 
• modified push ups

Fitness Makeover Day 9: Pre Father's Day BBQ Workout

I knew I would eat a lot today. I made sure to work out before heading to a BBQ. I did 20 rounds of:

• 5 modified push ups
• 10 1 legged squats ( alternated legs each round)
• 15 modified pull ups

I did this in 30 minutes and stretched afterward. Let the eating begin!

Fitness Makeover Day 8

I'm taking today off. I have grocery shopping and stuff to finish. Tomorrow I will complete my workout in the morning.

Fitness Makeover Day 7: so busy!

I was super busy today so I didn't work out until really late. Here it was:

• 100 modified situps
• 100 modified pull ups
• 100 modified squats
• 100 modified push ups

I think I will take Saturday off.

Fitness Makeover Day 5: What did I do?

I did a short routine on Wednesday. I didn't even remember it til now.  Yikes!  I did 50-40-30-20-10 reps of:

• jumping jacks
• modified sit-ups (standing crunches)

Standing crunches are still difficult.  I use my abdominal muscles to pull myself down.  I'm still sore actually.  

Fitness Makeover Day 6: The Walk

Thursday I walked for 60 minutes.  I felt great doing it, even though I got out of breath.  I kept looking around for local fitness places near me via living social, groupon, yelp and just strolling through the neighborhood.  What I discovered is that while there are tons of places, there weren't many that had the hours I need.  I have to be at work pretty early in the morning and since I prefer smaller, non-mega chain gyms, I'm SOL.  Oh well, I found amazing routines via Pinterest to try.

Fitness Makeover Day 4: ahhhh

I worked out later tonight due to a meeting and food. While catching up on Sherlock Holmes, I did:

• 5 modified pull ups
• 10 modified push ups
• 15 modified squats

In 30 minutes I managed to do 20 rounds. Just a note: I modify it so it isn't very strenuous. What do you do while watching television?
