May 24th

I don't think I have ever sweat so much in my natural life... *WHEW*!

A stroll on the mill started me out, 1 Mile in 20:32

Stretches

Extreme Dancing
(when I say that, I am working on my toes, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, butt, waist, sides, abs, arms, shoulders, neck, etc... using hand weights, the twist, boxing, kicking, major pelvic workout, etc... until I can barely move any more)

Resistance Band

For a total of 45 minutes

May 31st

2 mill miles in 38:24 ... and that took everything out of me for today. :( My right leg was dragging and I was tripping slightly towards the end... UGH I hate that. Today I stayed at a more constant pace, around 3.8 mph and I did not do the slow downs and sprints and I shaved a bit of time off the total. I do not know what is best... constant or sprints and slow downs? Anyhow, I'm pooped out for today. :P I'll put my hair up and think I will turn the air conditioning up super high during the time I exercise and have more fans directly on me, that may help. I should probably also wear shorts...

Great Job Teach.

I tend to change things up daily when I am on the mill. Some days I just stay at a constant pace and other days I speed up and slow down. Then I also add incline at times. I find that works my muscles without hurting them and I dont get bored either.
