Don't Wait! Start Extra Today. 4th Month Day 3

[Kiki]

I will get my extra in every morning before I start my day.
Get it out of the way.
I am starting to not hate working out so much...it's growing on me.

Failed yesterday, I didn't get on the bike. I felt so sore that just walking was all the workout I could do. I even tried stretches but my core, arms and legs were protesting too much.

Try some cossack squats y'all, then maybe I won't be alone. Also those planky dumbbell things, they really did a number on my core and arms, but it actually wasn't too hard to do them.

I did the workouts last night. At 11:45 to be exact. I didn’t post because it was so late.

What are planky dumbbell things?
I hate planks but dumbbell sounds hard/good/quick.
I prefer short, quick slight harder workouts.

The mini and I both took a quick really hard spin on the bike just before we walked out the door.

This is a planky dumbbell thing. It's awesome because your core is supposed to rotatate and keep you balanced and whatnot and this makes your core do what it's supposed to do. I never feel like I'm getting much of a workout when I do planks, I also feel like my back tends to sag because I'm not doing anything with my core except for squeezing it. When I do a planky dumbbell thing I feel both sides of my core engaging and balancing me when I go back and forth between arms. An added bonus is that you have to use a bigger weight to keep your knuckles off the ground, so when I pull the weight up over and over I actually feel a burn.

Here's another more motivational version, I feel like the first screenshot is more realistic tho

Ohhh, I love those! Although if I’m gonna start looking like that last image I will stop.

From what I remember I didn't even count how many reps, I just did as many as I could in one minute x2. It's easier than it looks.
