Not that anyone cares, but it will help me to write it down somewhere.
Twice a week I'm attempting the following quickie exercise routine.
1. 10 plie squats (second position) and 10 pulses
2. 10 bootstrap squats and 10 pulses
3.10 plie squats (second position) with one leg in releve, 10 pulses both feet in releve
4.Other leg same as #3
5. 10 bootstrap squats with toe raise and 10 pulses.
6.20 push-ups
7. 10 one legged bootstrap squats and 10 pulses
8. Other leg same as #7
9.10 lunges and 10 pulses on each leg.
10. Repeat #9
11.20 tricep dips
12. Standing side waist whittler
13. Ballet leg extensions x 10
14. Ballet leg sweeps x10
15. Side lunges x 10 each side
16.Reverse abdominal curls
17. Lay on the floor and pant.
I'm counting on this to keep me primed for regular exercise, if I ever get to that point any time soon. It only takes about 15 minutes and can actually be quite aerobic.
Ironically I did this yesterday and immediately had a sore throat after. Kind of eerie.
As for weight loss, not sure if I've lost. May have possibly gained a bit as the appetite surge I had last week? Prednisone. Not my real appetite at all. I was back to gagging down breakfast in no time.
However, my arms are smaller.
I spent all summer killing myself with push ups and tricep dips and NADA.
Stop exercising?
They get smaller.
Point for the exercise-doesn't-lead-to-weight-loss research.
Also, I think I'll ask for a scale for Christmas so I can finally know exactly what I'm doing here weight loss-wise. The next real weigh-in should be before Thanksgiving as I have a doctor's appointment then.
