Continuing to Build Upon Success

Another week goes into the books.  I mostly stayed on point with my exercising for the rest of the week, since my "anniversary" post.

I ended the week with a good leg session.  The squat racks were in heavy use, so I hit the incline leg presses instead, working my way up to 360 lb. leg and calf presses.  The racks finally opened up by the time I finished doing the rest of my leg exercises, but my leg muscles were aching at that point, so I skipped the squats.

Zumba class has been better than normal, lately.  We’ve been working through more core and strength routines.  The room has been seriously motivated.

My appetite has been decreasing over the last couple of weeks, so my food intake has slowed.

I picked up the suit that I mentioned in my last post.  The alterations had been completed and I was anxious to see the final results.  The fit was excellent.  It almost felt strange to be wearing a suit that fit so well, after wearing my old, now too large, suits for so long.

I’ll be getting in some extra cardio, next week, in the form of dance practice.  My wife and I will be attending a large Latin dance event on the coming weekend and I want to polish my moves a bit.  We got in some East Coast Swing dancing this past weekend, which is a good start, as EC Swing uses pretty much the same timing as the Cha Cha.

I also have a class reunion picnic to attend next month.  It will be a tank top and shorts kind of gathering.  I’ll use that event as extra motivation as I work out in August.

I found another article that I wanted to share.  It discusses the levels and frequency of exercise needed to positively impact your health.

How Much Physical Activity Do You Really Need?

"Physical activity has recently come to be seen as one of the best forms of medicine available. Studies have shown that simply getting on your feet can ward off all manner of ill health, from cancers to cardiovascular diseases. But how much do you need to do to reap the benefits?"

Adios for now!
