After unsuccessfully going through my closet this week to throw out and give away old/unwanted stuff, I met a mood in downhill. I had to throw out several pants because they had become too small...
The will to continue with this task then fluttered away very fast.
Upon telling this to some coleagues, they could hardly believe me, and laughingly accused me for putting it upside down, that they had become too big. Alas, no. Why they couldn't believe this; I'm the sporty one. The one that jogs home from work, or take the bike. I'm the one that hopes to inspire to healthier snacks (if any) on the coffe break. I'm the one that actually use the value of my gym membership to what its worth. I'm the one that get a great feeling writing workout diary.
I've been doing Zumba and gym 2-3-4 times a week, plus all the jogging/bicyckling to and from work. Also I do pilates at home about once a week. I have an active job, and eat way healthier than many I know. So the reason for this grouwing-out-of-pants is to me quite tough to absorb and analyze the reason why. Only different that could have effect is; I don't do as much weightlifting as before, and I'm getting older... :S *brrr*
SO: today I'm going to the gym together with Moni from work, to teach eachother how to do Kettlebells, as none of us know much about it, other than that I tried last week some simple movements and got impressed by the force and feeling these handled globs of pounds kan create.
Today is day one of Kettlebell'ing, exercise routine is found from norwegian magazine "iForm".
All movements is continous, one-rep per movement in same hand. Alternate hands and repeat routine for 20 minutes.
1: one-handed swing
2: one-handed swing with row
3: Clean
4: Shoulder press up
5: Front squats
6: Back lunge
I'm planning to try keep this routine for 3 weeks if, after testing it later today, I find it to be suitable for my shoulder(which has the knack of messing up many workouts). Two times per week, plus at LEAST one hour Zumba (I'm hooked)
After this, I'll change program, maybe to some BodyRock inspired routines.
Let the burn begin!
