November 2013 workout update

November already!?? This year has just flew away for me.

I hit a workout plateau and noticed that my calorie count was actually going down in the beginning of November, significantly down! So of course something had to be done! I decided to increase my incline slightly. I also started doing my weight training prior to the treadmill so every morning (Mon, Tue, Thur and Fri) at 4 a.m. I do a warm up for a few minutes (nothing fancy, just basics) and then do some weight training to tone those arms.

I have a confession, I am oh so scared of getting flabby arms and also have a borderline obsession of wanting Michelle Obama arms. So I do two sets of 30 reps with some basic arm toning and about 40’ish tricep dips. It’s a good burn for now. I am sure in a few weeks I will need to revisit it. I will do a more detailed blog post once I have revamped it.

On to the November stats …

PS: I had to take a break the last week since I pulled my calf muscle. Not sure how.
