Tag: Belly-Legs-Tushy

One Month

On May 13th I started my gym workout!
On May 11th I had my first supervised training with a coach!
On May 8th I joined the gym!

I’ve been to following group courses:

  • Body Pump (strength)
  • Bodystyling (strength)
  • WBS (Pilates-Style, strength)
  • Zumba (cardio)
  • TRX (strength)
  • Dance (cardio)
  • Belly-Legs-Tushy (strength)
  • Step (cardio)

My favorites are: Body Pump, TRX, Belly-Legs-Tushy and Step

Machines I use in the strength circuit (8 machines a 30 seconds a 20 reps, 2 rounds) :
Each round

  • row: 14kg (started with 13kg) +1
  • ab crunch: 14kg (started with 12kg) +2
  • leg curl: 14kg (started with 10kg) +4
  • chest press: 13kg (started with 11kg) +2
  • back extension: 24kg (started with 16kg) +8
  • leg extension: 11kg (started with 7kg) +4
  • lat pull: 19kg (started with 10kg) +9
  • glutaeus: 13kg (started with 11kg) +2
  • hip abduction: 20kg

I feel good! I feel how my whole body is getting harder. My abs and especially my arms! I’m happy I joined, I’m really enjoying the gym, I never thought I would. egym

New Gym Clothing

When I joined the gym I noticed I can’t wear my normal jogging pants I wear around the house, my American Apparel T-Shirts & bra. So, after having my first Belly-Legs-Tushy course I decided to hit the local sports-store (it’s huge, I was impressed).

I knew I needed:
– shorter pants for the summer
– more tops
– sports bra

So I grabbed about 10 knee-long gym-capris, one fit, Puma Move Capris.

I tried on a few tops but decided I really didn’t like them too much – all too short (I can’t stand too short tops), so I ordered some Under Armour HeatGear Fitted Victory tank tops online. Yum!

I bought on in bright yellow, dark grey and light grey. I’ll get some more bright colors next month *coughsalarycough*.
After trying on a bunch of sports bra and not knowing if I should still be able to breathe or not I decided on an Adidas techfit bra, similar to the one in the image (just my back is grey, not purple).

After going to the gym on a regularly basis I noticed I need to get a second (and maybe third) sports bra and maybe another pair of capris. I’d also like a long sleeve and maybe new shoes, I saw some nice Under Armours for a good price.

At least it’s very much fun to buy all this stuff and unfortunately it’s quite hard to stop.
Tonight we’re going Sushi-Eating – I can’t wait!! 🙂
