Double Yoi! What a crazy two weeks it has been! The official start to my body transformation journey has been slightly rocky and I must apologize for not updating you guys with whats been going on! sorry sorry! Anyhow, my workout plans were slightly thwarted during week 1 as my body got used to the strength training, or shall I say, as my body punished me for being so overly ambitious! I did my first strength training class that Tuesday and my ARMS, ABS, LEGS were so sore that I couldn't even fathom doing another lifting class until the following Thursday! Mind you, my abs still hurt two weeks later! haha
On the bright side, I was able to get in almost a full week of working out. I alternated between spinning classes and Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (I skipped the parts the required lifts that engaged the super sore muscles - including the ab portion :-( I love doing abs but it literally felt like someone was tearing my ab muscles apart!)
The second week was so much more successful! I went to spinning on Monday and did both a lifting class and spinning class on Tuesday and Thursday! I slept like a baby those nights! I was little frustrated with spinning through, my heart rate just doesn't get as high as it should for a 24 year old! (my spinning instructor uses heart rates to lead his classes) There's a lot of different schools of thought when it comes to heart rate, but almost every school says that heart rate is specific to the individual. My spinning instructor/trainer is convinced that mine should be higher and I want it to be higher...Throw another goal on the pile why dont we! here's what my current heart rate looks like during a normal spin class:
145-149 bpm - 65%
160-162 bmp - 80%
185 bmp - COOKED!
My goal for my future heart rate is....dun dun dun...190! UGH! What the heck is wrong with me! I want to throw up/pass out at 185, heck lets add an extra 5 beats, maybe my heart will explode! haha But seriously, I think I may be able to tap that number within a year, if I keep working toward it and accept the fact that it's going to be extremely painful!
As for my other goals, not so hot after two weeks! But, it's only been two weeks and I've added lifting to my regimen, so of course the weight loss isn't going to be as accelerated as if I were just cutting calories
