- full Nautilus line (26 weight machines), upper and lower body and core, added five pounds to every weight today, want to be on 20 reps by next weekend (up from 15)
- stretch the entire body
- super-plie's in all seven positions (not the five I've been doing)
- 5 sets of 10 crunches (up from 3), 3 sets with legs up on the ball, 2 sets with ball suspended in mid-air between my ankles
- 3 sets of 10 back strength moves (sort of like a backwards crunch), up from 2 sets today
- add push-ups to the list
- 20 more minutes of cardio on the treadclimber or treadmill (up from 15) to finish
I'll report in next weekend how successful I was - I'll be exercising as shown above on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sundays, plus playing racquetball against my husband on Saturdays. |
Allright.. Im tired now!

I'm still pre op too but count me in Gina. I figure while I wait for this surgery I might as well begin to prepare myself a bit.
I will do 30 minutes on my treadmill 3 days this week. It's a busy week or I would try more but it's a start anyway. I'm also trying to cut out the diet coke. I'll go down to one every other day. (Not quite ready to get rid of it all together yet!) A friend who had the surgery suggested it be one thing i try to do too.
I think that's a pretty good start for a weekly goal. Thanks for the challenge Gina.

I hope so because I am pre surgery and I thinks its a good challenge and good work for us to get the practice. Besides I need to loose about 20 pounds before surgery.
