Fitness Friday #1


Since I've been working out more and trying to get in shape, I thought I would share with everyone how its going, what I've been doing, and some other things to help others... So here it goes.

I've found a local kickboxing class that is about 45 minutes long and is practically in my backyard (literally). Classes are 4 days a week at 9 in the morning its a great way to get my day started. On top of that I go to the gym when I can, workout at home, and I've started running!(my pace has gone down by over 2 minutes since I started)

At the gym I usually do weight training and some cardio.
But at home I use a lot of workouts I've found on Pinterest and most of them are from Back On Pointe

APPS:
Here are all the apps I use when I workout:
Nike+Running: It uses GPS to track your route while you walk/run and will even show you when you were fastest and slowest. It gives you motivation by trying to push you farther than your farthest run. $ = FREE!
C25K: An 8 week program that helps you to achieve a 5k (or 30 minute) run without stopping. Over time the amount or walking lessens as the running increases. It also has the feature of telling you when to walk and when to run, if your listening to music while you run it will lower the volume give the cue.(my pace has gone down by over 2 minutes since I started)  $ = FREE!
My Fitness Pal: This lets you set a goal on your calorie intake and helps you keep track of calories eaten and calories burned. You can enter in a food to the database, use the search, or even scar the barcode on the food your eating. and select exercises to account for calories burned. It also helps you track your weight. $ = FREE!
7 Minute Workout: Is exactly what the title indicates. It uses random exercises for 7 minutes and you can make it longer or shorter and keep track of days you used it on you calender. $ = FREE!

Vroom, Vroom, Kaput!

So Mr. W went to WLC and i'm the person that manages to mess things up when he wasn't even gone for 6 hours yet... i'm the person who puts DIESEL in a unleaded gas car.... yep. anyone who has been to italy before knows that its not like the states where you have "regular, Super, Premium, and Diesel" they just have "diesel and super"

Granted this would not have happened if we had our impala. But now we have some old European car my husband has names "the green goblin". Luckily the auto skills shop on post will be able to tow and fix it rather cheaply, because from what I'm told I'm not the first or last person to do the same thing. So keep your fingers crossed for us that everything works out as planned.
