Monday 10/21
What I did: Lower body weight circuit and then cardio. I say this every time, but I hate this workout lol. I'm tired of these hip thrusts that I have to do. I have to do these "rest-pause" sets, where I basically do 10 reps, rest 10 seconds, then 12 reps, rest 10 seconds, then 12 reps again. That counts as ONE set! I do 4 sets of these in both the Monday leg workout and the Friday leg workout. I use 100 lbs barbell which feels easy at first but after a while it just kills my legs, then I walk away shaky... I used to do just straight sets of 12 or 15, with 145 lbs but it never felt that hard. These rest-pauses... ugh. I also hate this workout because people look at me funny lol.
What I wore: Lululemon No Limit tank in flash with Empower crop in coal/passion and Adidas adizero adios 2 shoes. I hadn't worn these shoes in a while!
Tuesday 10/22
What I did: My shoulder/tri weights workout. I was going to do cardio afterwards but I got up too late so I ran out of time. I had to get my butt to Santa Monica for the Meet and Tweet!
What I wore: Lululemon Power Y tank in three print, with Lululemon Mod Moves crop in afterglo and Brooks Pure Drift shoes.
Here's a better angle for the crops!
As to and from, since nobody wants to buy my Define jacket in pow pink, I decided to wear it lol. Maybe I should just keep it anyway, it's cute.
Wednesday 10/23
What I did: Back and bi weights. I actually like this one a lot because I get to do my unassisted chin-ups and weighted negative pull-ups. I just feel like those are really good for me and I feel strong doing them! I did cardio after.
What I wore: Lululemon Flow and Go tank in faded zap with Lululemon Ebb & Flow crops in black, and my new Nike Free Bionics in purple. I decided I should keep both these shoes and the Adidas shoes! Lol! Buuuutttt... I just got an email from Fitness Magazine regarding my annual shoe test which I plan to do again. That means I'll be getting 3 pairs of free shoes! Soooo I should probably return both of the ones I just bought... I don't even have enough room to store all my shoes as it is! Nike lets you return shoes even if you've worn them, but Adidas doesn't. So luckily I have only worn the Nikes. We'll see. They do go perfectly with faded zap! But not many other things I own...
Friday 10/25
What I did: Second leg workout of the week. Then cardio!
What I wore: Tried on my new tank that I got from the Meet and Tweet! The Heidi Klum New Balance vision tank, with Lorna Jane Duo bra under it, and Yogasmoga Run Jump n' Play crops. Adidas shoes to match the tank. This tank was super comfy and the light and flowy material kept me cool during cardio. I love it! I also think it looks great with the LJ bra.
For a quick dinner bite on Friday night, I wore my other freebie from the Meet and Tweet - the Roxy Daybreak LS tee! I think I am in love with this top. It's soooo cute! Totally shows off the back of your cute tanks too. So of course I wore my floral back tank from Nordstrom that I got years ago. It's getting colder here, but not THAT cold... like from 90 to 70 degrees! Hehe... so I wore my Abercrombie Kirstie shorts with Naughty Monkey Jump Start boots.
Saturday 10/26
What I did: My last weight workout of the week! Upper body super sets. Then last cardio session as well.
What I wore: Lululemon swiftly racerback in spry blue with Lululemon Centered Energy bra in flash under, and Splits59 Nova carpi tights and black Nike Free Bionics.
I like the stripes down the side of the tights... looks sporty.
I finally took the tag off of my Lululemon Nice Asana jacket in plum. I just love the style and color of this jacket, so even though it was kind of pricey, I'll keep it anyways. I haven't bought anything from Lululemon lately anyways and there's nothing I want in the near future... I think... :)
That's all for this week! Can't wait to start over again tomorrow lol. Have a good night everyone!
My legs always tone up before my arms. In my case, I think its because I run often and that strengthens my legs more than my arms.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense. Some people I know just have nice arms without doing anything. So jealous lol.
DeleteDo you get your Power Y tanks hemmed? We are about the same size and if I pull mine all the way down it covers my butt. Like where yours hits much better!
ReplyDeleteI don't get them hemmed. This Three Print Power Y is way old, like 2007/2008? They were made shorter back then... my new ones are maybe an inch or so longer, but since they changed the material from luon to luon light, I think the straps have become stretchier which causes the whole tank to seem even longer. At least that's what it feels like to me... haha... they still don't really cover my butt completely (I'm 5'5) and I don't pull them all the way down anyway. I don't like it when tanks are too long either.
DeleteI am the opposite of you. I can work my lower body twice as hard as my upper body and get half the results. I feel like it took yearsssss to get any kind of muscle definition, and I have to stay pretty lean or the fat covers it up in a minute. Ah, genetics! The X factor in any kind of training program!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a nice fall manicure in some of these photos. Great nail color!
You're very observant! :) I got this Julep charcoal gray colored nail polish from the Meet & Tweet event, and at first I wasn't sure about the color but I actually love it! I've stopped painting my nails for a while, since all the weight lifting and whatnot cause chipping way too frequently. But I'm kind of loving this new one because it hasn't chipped at all and it's been a week!
DeleteI feel like you're luckier to have gotten better genes for arm muscles because people see arms more than legs lol. I think I'll have to get much leaner as well for my arms to look better. It seriously is the LAST place to shed. So frustrating!
