The combination of things I did probably doesn't target any particular area of the body, but sometimes I like creating workouts that involve a variety of things so I don't get bored.
Curls with 15 lb dumbbells: 12 reps x 3 sets
I've figured out that different types of curls, for example, with free weight vs. a cable machine, work your arms differently. But, curls with free weights are still my favorite.
Leaning one-arm lateral raise: 10 reps (each arm) x 3 sets
I've done these in a seated position before, but I had never done them standing like this--I think I like this way better!
Standing straight-bar overhead press with 40 lbs: 10 reps x 3 sets
This one is similar to other shoulder presses you might do, but instead, I used a straight bar.
Ab roller: 10 reps x 3 sets
You can really do these a variety of ways. If you have an actual ab roller, great! If you don't, these are easy to improvise. I used a small scooter with handles, like the ones you used to use in elementary P.E. class!
Up-down plank on a Bosu ball: 20 reps x 3 sets
I love these because they work your shoulders, but they really work your abs, too — it's a double whammy! Add a Bosu ball and it makes it even harder. One key thing to remember when doing these is that you want your arms to be equal, so you should alternate which arm is going down first.
Mountain climbers: 100 total
I like mountain climbers, but I always feel like you have to do a lot of them to really feel it, so I chose to do 100!
Pushups: 50 total
I absolutely hate pushups. But, I've been forcing myself to do them. I did three sets: 20, 20, then 10. You could break them up however you want. I just had a goal of doing 50 of them.

ReplyDeleteWhat you should know about parasomnias?
ReplyDeleteWhile parasomnias are relatively rare, they can be quite disruptive and even dangerous. The three most common types of parasomnias are sleepwalking, sleep talking, and bedwetting. Each one can occur independently or in any combination. Sleepwalking is the most common type of parasomnia and typically occurs during deep sleep in the early morning hours. It is characterized by walking or performing other activities while still asleep. Sleepwalking can range from simply getting out of bed and walking around the house to more complex activities like driving a car. Sleep talking is also relatively common and usually occurs during light sleep. It is characterized by talking aloud during sleep without any awareness of doing so. Sleep talking can range from simple mumbling to full conversations. Bedwetting is the least common type of parasomnia and typically occurs during deep sleep. In this blog post, we will learn about parasomnias.

Since the 1990s, human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) has been used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). hMG is a hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland in response to low levels of estrogen. hMG is thought to work by increasing the amount of androgens produced by the ovaries. Although hMG is generally well-tolerated, it can occasionally cause irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and weight gain. Read more here

ReplyDeleteI have Insomnia. How can I sleep properly?
ReplyDeleteMost people think they need eight hours of sleep a night to feel alert and productive the next day. However, new research suggests that you only need about six hours of sleep to feel awake and alert.
DeleteAccording to the study, participants who slept for six hours or less felt more tired than those who got seven or eight hours of sleep. However, people who slept for nine or 10 hours felt the least sleepy.
