Did You Move To Lose Today?
Hey Everyone
I can't believe Christmas is almost here
I am hearing that Santa Baby song in my head now...let's see, what do I want first, the diamonds, new car? I am an animal lover so no fur coats please
Yea right, and when I win the lottery I will let you guys know
Anyway, last night my son dummy downed my back routine as I am so weak. Well I was trying to do his routine that took him over a year to get to. So I am not offended. WE have to crawl before we walk and then run.... Here is what we did to get my back strong:
Seated bar pull downs - only 3 sets of 20/15/10 15/20/30 lbs
Standing bar pull downs - same as above
Seated pulls - one set was pulling all the way back to get that pinch in the upper back
The other set was a very small shoulder pull back with keeping your arms straight
It's hard to do and you really need someone there to watch you. I found this very hard to do
Lastly, we did the back bends. You put your feet on this stand so you don't fall off and then you bend on the pads at the waist. I did it first with no weight 20, then 15 with 5 lb weight and lastly with 10 lbs weight.
Breathing, is very important when exercising and I am so busy counting that I forget to breath right 
You really do have extra strength when you breath right ,it just takes time to learn. Geez, I thought I had the breathing thing down since birth
Guess not
So my friends, Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today? Come on and let's get those bods going.... Remember to chew gum (if you doc says it's ok) to keep from eating when cooking and baking.
Take care,
Kathy

Yep,
I did a 3 mile WATP this morning, but my left arm and shoulder are killing me tonight. What I wouldn't give to be able to take an Advil :( I think I overused my arms wrapping presents the last couple of days. I have bone spurs in my both shoulders, but the left has been bothering me pretty badly since the first of the year. Numerous sessions of physical therapy made it worse, and steroid shots in April improved it for only a little while. I am avoiding any surgery on it, only because I am completely vain, and want brachioplasty in April. Then maybe someday I'll get the joint operated on. For tonight though, I'm just going to be sore.
