I’m With The Band
I didn’t work out on Wednesday or Thursday. I got a weird cramp in one of my calves on Wednesday - kinda of felt like I pulled the muscle or something so I thought I would make it a rest day.
I was going to workout Thursday, but I got my mom hooked on watching Family Guy. Now Family Guy normally comes on at 1am here, but Cartoon Network screwed up their programming and it came on at 2am Thursday morning. Of course my mom just had to stay up to watch it so there went my night.
I was still kind of beat Friday night, but I figured I just had to do something. I received a copy of Slim and Lean from Blockbuster, but I just didn’t feel up to it. I also didn’t feel up to a Slim in 6 workout or a cardio workout either. What’s a girl to do? I whipped out one of the new Firms - the resistance band workout and figured I would see how that went.
It went pretty good actually. I used the bands it came with again and when I first got it, there is one section where you do bicep curls with the bands that I thought was pretty hard and struggled through them the first couple of times I did this, but I could handle it this time! Yay!
I felt pretty good after that workout and decided to do another one, so I whipped out the 3T workout from Turbo Jam. It’s also a resistance band workout that also came with a band. Sheesh, I have so many bands now I could start my own dungeon or something. Anyways. There is this one section in 3T where Chalene does a whole bunch of bicep curls - which I struggled with before too - simply because of the high reps. But I got through these fine too. In fact, I think I can use a heavier band for the next time I do this workout. Yeeeehaw!
Oh yea, one other thing that is kind of funny working out with the bands - my cat thinks that they are toys - awesome toys, giant rubber bands of goodness toys - and so a lot of times when I am using them she will start attacking my legs and the bands so she can chew on them - not cool. Normally I wouldn’t mind, but she does like to chew on things and I am just waiting for the day that I go to do a band work and the band snaps in half because she’s chewed a chunk of it out.
