Ha, I’ve been forgetting to share workout stuff in a public post, since I write it in my private training recap, and my brain gets confused and thinks I’ve written about it, and I have, but kind of haven’t?! Anyway!
I had TWO noticeable improvements at the gym this week! On Monday, I shoulder pressed 55 lbs. I could barely do the 45 lb bar when I started! Woo hoo!
And on Tuesday I did box jumps! They’ve always scared and intimidated me, but I was able to do them!
I’m feeling proud! And so glad I joined WWM. I love our trainer, Marybel, and all the students that go there, and have so much fun strength training this way.
After talking about regretting not taking measurements at the beginning of the year, I took some in late October and think I’ll make that a monthly thing. I doubt I’ll have any noticeable progress there for a while, but maybe in several months!
Woo hoo! Box jumps are HARD! You definitely should feel proud! 🙂
Do you notice you feel a lot stronger in your daily life?
Thank you!
And yeah I do! I can feel my old strength coming back! And things don’t bother me like they used to (going up and down the stairs a ton, for example – although a huge part of that is probably weight loss).
Congrats! I have no idea what a box jump is, but I am going to find out!
Ha! I should have explained or shown the video but I was too lazy to put it on YouTube. It’s just jumping onto a box – in this photo, the box is padded. And thank you!
Isn’t it the best to see measurable progress? Way to go, Kim!
