I had intended to do a full workout today and video the bit where I attempt to lift weights... But I copped out and had a lengthy and pleasant afternoon nap instead. Most refreshing!
So I just did the weight lifting bit to make sure I got my #2020Vision challenge for today over and done with... The thing is, before this month I had gone four months or more without doing a weight/resistance at all so it's a bit of a struggle to get those weights in the air more than a couple of times!
Here's the video... LOL!
The Full Workout
Here's the full work out (with two variations for the weight lifting sets). Actually, there are a couple of other things I have added to the mix.
One is a home-made punch bag that I pummel from time to time. It makes a racket when I do that, so I only do it when I'm home alone.
The other is that after working out I lie on one of those mats with a lot of plastic needles in them to stimulate blood flow or something.
Anyway, here is the main workout routine:
Thanks to @pixiepost for creating the #2020vision following the example of #actifit !!
All the best,
David Hurley

Well, they're just stick men really! LOL! They help me remember what I'm supposed to be doing. As an "English as a Foreign Language" teacher I get lots of opportunities to practise drawing stick figures to convey meaning.

Looks like a good amount of weight to be lifting David! We need those weight bearing exercises every bit as much or maybe even more than cardio.

That's right, Lisa. I think it is especially important for women to include weight training in their workout to maintain bone density among other things. Unfortunately, until recently, "weight lifting" had a "macho" image that put a lot of women off resistance training. Of course, a lot of men avoid it as well.
I just read an article in Time that said 50% of Americans do some form of cardio, but only 20% do resistance training. I know you "get it," Lisa, but here's a good piece about strength training benefits for women that I just found:

Thanks Andy! When I got back into CTP I had no idea they'd have me videoing myself attempting to do press ups and lift weights and stuff like that! LOL! I'm fine with making videos, but usually just as a "talking head" and nothing more!
