New exercise plan

Hey bloggies! Tomorrow I start tracking my points and doing my full body exercise plan I created. So heres my plan.

Cardio:
30 seconds sprint and then a minute walk for a full 20 min
30 seconds of mountain climbers
15 burpees
30 seconds of jumping jacks
10 squat jumps

Back of arms (triceps): Put your hands on a low surface (like a couch or the bottom step of the stairs) and put your feet together on the ground in front of you. Lower your body to where your bottom almost touches the floor, and lift back up. Do 20 reps a day.

Arms and chest: Do pushups. Not girl pushups. Do 20 a day.

Abs. Here's the doozy for girls. Do ALL of these a day if you eventually want a flat stomach. :
1. Regular crunch. Lie on the floor with your hands behind your head and lift your shoulder blades off the ground. Don't let your chin hit your collarbone. 40 reps a day.
2. Side crunches. For left, assume same position as regular and bring right elbow to left knee. For right do the reverse. Do 20 reps of each a day.
3. Lower ab crunches. Lie on your back with your feet straight above you in the air and touch your toes. 20 reps a day.
4. Lower ab side crunches. Assume position of lower ab crunches and reach for the space beside left foot 20 times, then right 20 times (daily).
5. Vertical cut crunches.  Lie on your side. Prop yourself up on the elbow and knee closest to the ground, letting the other leg and arm extend straight. Pull the extended arm towards your back, 10 reps a day on each side.

Hips: Lie on your side and pull one leg up until its perpendicular with the floor. 50 reps each side.

Butt: Lie on your back with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Raise your pelvis. 40 reps.
Lunges 20 on each leg
15 squats

Butt and legs: Get on your hands and knees. Lift your bended leg. 20 reps each leg.

Legs: Again, get on your hands and knees. Straighten one leg. Lift it. 20 reps each leg.

Inner thighs: Lie on your back with your legs bend and your knees straight up, your feet not touching the floor. Lower your knees to the sides of you til they almost touch the floor, and bring them together again. 50 reps.

 
Okay so I'll do this everyday along with the biggest loser 30 day jump start program. It's only ten minutes and I would do it as a warm up. For a cool down, I'd do 20-30 minute yoga for weight loss by the biggest loser. And then right before bed I'd do a 15 relaxation yoga video.

So that's my plan:
1.) 30 day jump start 10 minute workout as a warm up
2.) Full body workout
3.) 20-30 minute weight loss yoga video from the biggest loser

As for weight I've been stuck at 161 :-/ Well blog ya soon, bye!!!

*Update* Sorry

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately, I've been so busy(how I got my blog name) so my first week sucked, I didn't exercise or eat healthy at all and I ended up weighing 168! That's the heaviest I've ever been and it was like a wake up call. So, it's been about 2 weeks since then and guess what?? I weigh 161!! I'm so excited!! Wanna know how I did it?? Okay so I have myfitnesspal and it tracks every thing I eat. I eat 1200 calories a day, I drink more water and I started exercising :-) I have swim practice almost everyday and on days I don't swim, I walk my dog for about an hour. So in 5-6 days I lost 7 pounds!!! So exciting!! Well, this was just a quick update, I promise that next Monday I will definitely weigh in and post!! Thank you for reading, blog ya soon, bye!! :-)

First workout

So the first thing I did was week one of my running program. It wasn't hard at all, It's supposed to ease you into running and it's working great :-D And then there was the workout......It's 30 jumping jacks and 10 crunches. I HATE CRUNCHES!! SO MUCH!!! Felling sore but It's worth, I hope it pays of next monday at my next weigh in. Even losing a pound will be a pound lighter! Well, after doing the jumping jacks I was tired, and hot. I live in washington and it's been over 80 degrees for DAYS! Like come on! It's supposed to be rainy and cold. But I didn't stop, I took a one minute break and drank a s**t ton of ICE COLD WATER!! So refreshing, and then I did crunches. My stomach still hurts but It will be worth it, I know it. Sorry for the short blog, I'm not much of a typer. I'm just hoping that you read my story, enjoy it and it motivates YOU!! So Long, Next blog will probably be on monday :-)

Here's the 12 week running plan I'm doing =)


Some Information


My name is amber. I'm a 15 year old girl in highschool just learning how to drive; and I've been trying to lose weight for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was little I was always just a little more chubby then most girls my age but I didn't pay any attention to that, not till about 3rd grade when my family moved to illinois. I was a very early bloomer and thats when I noticed(well my mom technically) that I needed a training bra. It's also when I noticed that I was quite bigger then most of the other girls. I also started having trouble with gym and running. So speed up to about 5-6 months ago, I decided to go veggie because I love animals. I lost 10 pounds and you could tell! I went from 158 to 148, I was so happy, but that was short lived. I slowly gained it all back, I was devestated and crushed. So speed things up a bit to now. I have tried countless times to start exercising and get healthy but I always gave ml up or quit, but this time it's different. I'm done being the fat girl, I hate being not able to run a mile in less than 12 minutes and I hate not being able to wear alot of cute clothes so I'm changing that. Tomorrow I start exercising. I found a twelve week running program that should get me started, after about four weeks though all start add some circuit workouts so basically this is a blog in making about my weight loss journey, which starts tomorrow. Can't wait!!

Some numbers-
Age:15
Height-5'2 3/4"
Weight-166 <----the heaviest I've ever been

Well I hope you Gus follow me on this journey, I'd love the support and I'd love to here about your journeys to. Journey begins....................NOW!!!!
