Back at it...

I took one day off on Thursday. On Friday I did some band floor work and then used the kettlebell to do some core moves.

Today, I did hip hop total body on the floor. I'm now walking with a wrapped foot. It's good to not have to get around on crutches anymore. I'm slow, but moving.

I'm hoping that in two weeks I will be back to working out on my feet, slowly though. I really miss the full cardio effect.

Time to grab some lunch and hit the showers!

Keep pushing play even if you are gimpy like me...

Hip Hop Abs kind of day!

I've been a little lazy the past couple of days getting used to crutches and all. Like that is an excuse! Today I am back at it. I did as much as I could on the floor of Hip Hop Abs Total Body with Shaun T. I only had to skip the squats and cardio segment. My abs are really feeling it.

I did work up a little bit of a sweat, so I know I was working. I do miss the cardio though and am in need of researching about how to get cardio when you can't stand up.

Keep pushing play out there!

Oh...forgot about posting after Biggest Loser...

I forgot to post after the Biggest Loser. I did indeed do a 1 hour workout. I did 45 minutes of Nordic Track and then 15 minutes of band work. Watching the competitors working out kept me going. If they can do it, I surely can.

This was pre-injury...see my post below for the current news.

Injured my foot...now what?!

I had a great momentum going, and then I injured my foot. I had to be taken to the emergency room. Lucky I only strained the muscle/tendon, but does this mean I'm out of the game for my workout resolution?

I say, "No!" I have decided to get a little creative and figure out what I can do. Yesterday I began with 15 minutes of band/ab work and weights. Today, I did 35 minutes of a workout!

Here's what I did:

I first started with Hip Hop last minute Abs . I did everything while sitting on the floor, legs stretched out in front and a few side leg positions. My foot did not touch the ground once! I may have missed out on the more super crunch motion of standing up, but I got the job done - total ab workout for 5 minutes!

Next, I opted to do a band workout video for my arms and shoulders. I have a 10 minute solutions Tone Trouble Zones. I had to get a little creative with some of the moves being on the floor, but I managed.

I attempted to do the 10-minute buns and thighs, but had to change plans. I opted for Winsor Pilates Buns and Thighs 20 minute dvd.

My foot started tingling a little bit after this one, but I made it through.

So, even though you may have an injury, consider what you can do, not what you can't do. Since switching to this mentality, I was able to take myself out of the pity parade on the side lines and put myself back into the game!

Still going strong!

Today after two 45 minute workouts, I decided to do a favorite 20 minute with my 2 pound weight gloves to make it more challenging. I was still sweating and very thirsty afterwards. I did the 20-minute Turbo Jam. Fun music and moves.

Tomorrow is Biggest Loser which I do about an hour on my Nordic Track. I'll check in tomorrow after the show.
