Well, folks I’m back. It took a good week of cough syrup, soup (courtesy my Mom), and lots of rest, but I finally put this cold to bed yesterday. I’m back up and at it again. Subsequently, I’ll be getting back at the exercise routine. This week, just to make sure I don’t recycle the cold I beat, I’ll be doing a home-workout with exercise bands, and taking it a little easy as I move back to a full-time workout schedule.

Monday – Saturday

• Full Body Routine (exercise bands)

See you at the finish line!!

Consistency, Exercise, Exercise Bands, full body workout, Living Healthy, Pilates

Today’s workout was a combination of exercise bands and pilates. Pilates is nice because it works the core and keeps my post-back surgery body stable.

Here are the exercises I did:

Exercise Bands:

• Squats
• Single-arm Bent Over rows
• Chest Flys
• Shoulder Press
• Bicep Curls
• Triceps Overhead Extension
• Calf Presses

Pilates:

• Swimming
• The Hundred
• Double Leg Stretch
• Dart
• Side Leg Lifts Right
• Side Leg Lifts Left

See you at the finish line!

I worked out in the house today. Here you go!

PM:

• Side Plank Leg Lift Right 3 x 10 seconds
• Side Plank Leg Lift Left 3 x 10 seconds
• Lying Leg Raise 3 x 10 reps
• Plank 3 x 10 seconds
• Cross Over Crunch Right 3 x 10 reps
• Cross Over Crunch Left 3 x 10 reps

I focused on abs today. I took the weekend off for Easter and had my sister out of town. I’ve also moved to an intermittent fasting regimen, combined with a KETO diet. I am following a 16:8 fasting window, where I stop eating at 12 pm and end my fast at 4 pm. I like this window because part of my window occurs during sleep. The KETO is a nice diet combination with this, because the consumption of healthy fats and proteins is satiating.

I get my home workout ideas from an app called 5MHW. The acronym stands for the 5-minute home workout (find it in Apple’s app store). Instead of doing one set of exercises, which I assume the app provides for beginning exercisers, I elevated the intensity by working through the workout 3 times.

Tomorrow I’ll be back in the gym. I’ll be updating my workout to a fasted-workout composed of cardio and weight lifting at 6 am.

Until next time…
