Strength Training Week: Day 2

In my effort to include more strength into my everyday life, I woke up this morning with a new found energy.  First of all, I know how important it is to rest between strength days, so this morning I decided to focus on strength and flexibility.

Two months ago, I bought a book on pilates moves and today I finally opened it.  I got my mat out and did the seven 'modified beginners' moves.  Now, I likely did modified-modified moves because I haven't tried pilates since I left GM, but I felt pretty good about it.  Then I decided to add in some ab moves and wall push ups.

Tomorrow I will go back to the basic strength training moves, but I am trying to brainstorm ways to make it more exciting.  The reason I don't like doing ST most of the time is because I find it boring.  I have tried watching movies while I do it, but often I just get upset that I have missed part of the movie.  So if you have any brilliant ideas on how to make ST more exciting, please let me know!  And hopefully I will have some words of wisdom for you tomorrow.

  1. Music motivates me through all my workouts. Trance for cardio, dance for strength, new age for yoga, and sometimes mean music when I need to work out some anger. ;)
