Day Nine - July 21, 2009

This is my 9th day of my 21-day makeover - Sometimes I think I hit that ‘plateau’ but you have to keep trying. If you slip off your schedule, don’t give up, get right back on the schedule and keep a positive attitude.

Here is one of my favorite arm exercises. The Tricep Pull Down. I used to work out years ago and then stopped. My arms seemed to have gotten ‘bigger’ and I noticed the ‘bye-byes’ or the ‘wings’ which are your triceps. Well, I wanted something that would work on them and I found the Tricep Pull Down to be the best! I do 3 sets of 20 every day that I work out. It is one of my favorite arm exercises and I know it is doing what its suppose to be doing…

Tenth Day - July 22, 2009

My 10th Day of my 21-Day Makeover. My husband and I just finished a 1 hour upper body, lower body and ab crunches work out. I am bushed! We started with the Bench Press then on to the Seated Shoulder Press, Standing Tricep Push Down (my fav), French Press, Seated Calf Press, Seated Leg Press, Chest Fly and the Ab Crunch. We also did the Reverse Ab Crunch. This took a little over an hour but well worth it and although I feel bushed right now, I know I will feel better later on today!

If you are thinking of working an exercise plan, a key to success is to document your steps from the beginning…take ‘before’ pictures, ‘before’ measurements, do a body composition analysis (calculate your body fat), do self-assessment exercises (where you are and where you want to be…) and set your short and long term goals! Write them down and you will be successful.
