Bicep Curls! Yeah, I Got This!

One move I love in this routine is the bicep curls. Love doing this move. It’s like yeah I got this and makes me forget what comes next!

Why Do I Love Bicep Curls So much?

This move it finally gives me a chance to breathe. Moves that require the total body always seem to be a struggle for me, so when moves like this happen. I feel like Wonder Women! Another reason prefers moves likes this because I love doing them reminds me of my Body Beast days. (one of my favorite programs) I have a love doing simple weight lifting moves, those are my favorite!

Lateral Curls, Oh Dear These Again? Ekk!?!

One move I felt challenging was the lateral curls. This is a move that I never liked. So let’s just say I was glad when it was over.

Why Do I Hate these lateral raises so much?

My least favorite move to do is lateral raises. I have always struggled with this move, It’s one of my big weaknesses but I did it! I try to be braved and startedwith 8s but had to move with 5s. Just not strong enough yet hope one day I can do 8s instead of just 5s! In time I believe I can do it. What doesn’t kill makes you stronger they say!

How Did The Bands Go Today?

As you can see in the picture on the above, I used the heavy band and medium band. I was feeling strong today at first anyway, so I started to use the heavy band. I use the heavy band for the following moves: forearm plank jumping jacks, narrow bridge clam, leg circles, 1st position bridge and single leg bridges.

I used the heavy bands to challenge myself, and I really felt it in the leg circles. That move with the heavy bands is so hard, but I’m glad I could finish it. It was really a struggle. Nonetheless, I’m glad I could at least do those moves. I can really feel improvement with the bands. Then the three moves that were some weird torture. I did try with the heavy band at first, but couldn't do it, so I moved to the medium band. The moves I used with the medium band are Looping Standing Donkey, loop scissor twist and v-leg raise. It was very hard but glad I finished it! Had to give my seconds a couple of 20-second breaks to complete it but I did it! Tomorrow will be interesting. I may be sore tomorrow but was totally worth it.

Doing Moves With Sliders, How Bad Was It?

The good news there was only 2 moves that involved sliders the bad news they are super hard! For the corkscrew move, I used the chair I couldn't do it just not strong enough yet. Core moves like this are not my strong point but with the chair, I felt I could finish it, which is the important thing! For the teaser core move, I still couldn't do that it either but did I twisting mountain climber. Which means instead of my left leg going to left arm my left arm, it went to the right arm and my right leg went to the left arm. Yes, I had to modify but got my reps and didn’t skip it. I feel doing a modification is a lot better than skipping it. All I can do is try an hope for the best.

My Overall Thoughts On Day 31 of 80 Day Obsession

Well, Day 31 in the books, another hard one! It was very challenging, especially with the two rounds and the weights being 15 reps. That was not easy! Not only were their weights today but sliders and bands too!

Even though the sliders were quite challenging, it did feel like I accomplished a lot when I finished! The same could be said about the bands. As I mentioned above the bands made it harder but I believe all this hard work will pay off! I do feel like phase 2, is a lot harder than I thought! Especially, the band moves and with all the added challenge the sliders give in this phase. Sometimes this program can be a struggle! However, I shall not give up no matter how hard it gets!

Does it involve weights or a mixture of both?

Are you just doing a cardio program?
