Tuesday exercise


I forgot to post my workout for the day! This may sound funny to some of you but often I will walk around the room or standing in place the whole time Dr. Oz is on. That is what I did today and I got in 2 miles! Can you believe that? LOL! Also I did 3 sets, 15 reps each of "counter top push ups". I can't do regular push ups so I usually do them by placing my hands on the edge of the kitchen counter, arms length away and doing push ups.Not as hard as the others but still a challenge! Wall push ups are another way to do these as well as using your stairs...be careful! Then I did 3 sets of 15 reps of what I call "recliner leg pushes". Now, now, hear me out! When I sit on our recliner sofa I push the foot rest down with my legs, not letting it latch at the bottom or the top, my own body weight gives resistance or weight and recently I have started doing this using one leg at a time to make it harder! Anyone who says this is not an exercise can come here and try it! LOL! So that was my one hour workout today! walking and a couple strength building exercises!

  3. If I did that with my recliner, Bosco would lose her mind. As soon as it goes up, she gets under it.
