Today I finally hit my all-time low! Yes, I have been so heavy for so long, it is UNBELIEVABLE! I am elated that my hardwork is seeing some progress, despite the daily ups and down, which is inevitable in a regular day/week. In general, the weekly average is decreasing, so it means I’m headed toward the right direction!
I did a low intensity treadmill jog/walk as my warm up for today’s Arms and Upper Body focused yoga session!
To keep things simple, I followed this Dumbbell only workout for my arms! Using only 2kg dumbbells, it is essential that you really focus on the muscle-mind connection, which I emphasize on every single time – regardless of what you are working on! Good thorough burn, I loved it!
This following advanced vinyasa class is a fun one. We explored transitions and poses like birds of paradise, EPK 2 and handstand hops! While it is encouraged that you try the handstand hop up and transition to chaturanga, I obviously still can’t do that so I did a mini hop and make my feeble transition to chaturanga. What matters is that YOU TRY, alright?! We all need to start somewhere before we can progress! So, YOU DO YOU! I would say this is more strength focused rather than cardio focused, but I really felt the burn as I did this right after my arms workout!
Try them out too and keep working toward your goals!
Xoxo, Shermaine
