PY: day 2 - upper body/abs

[Guest guest]

PY day 2 (tuesday) includes walking and upper body + abs.

i did my walking in the deli - 6200 steps.

then at home i did upper body+abs which is a 30 min strength

training workout for the upper body and alot of crunches done on

the stability ball.

the strength training was not difficult, especially since i used

light weights and was being very careful not to tweak anything.

kathy has some of the backgrounders drop the weights and do some

of the exercises unweighted... like rear-fly pulses (which andre

claimed he was feeling... ha!) . overall, this is a high-rep,

low weight workout, done in supersets.

there is no warmup as we are supposed to do one of the cardio

workouts first. i did my own warmup, running up the stairs,

moving my arms around alot to get them loose and a bit of jumping

on the rebounder.

the abs... well... they were all crunches. not my favourite,

but i do them much better on the stability ball. kathy does

multiple sets of 50 crunches.

btw, kathy also has beginners do their pushups after rolling out

onto the ball until their thighs are on top. i did some of them

that way and i quite like that modification. i felt that i was

doing more with the pushup than just doing them against a wall.

and i have to say that kathy looks great in these videos. her

face has started to show her age a bit, but it doesnt look like

she has covered herself in makeup to look younger (like denise

austin does) and her hair isnt perfect. kathy's body is still

amazing... long legs, thin hips iand waist in tiny shorts... big

boobs ::sigh:: if only we all could be kathy smith! LOLOL

today is for pilates and yoga...yay! im also going to the deli

again.
