Today was a struggle to get out of bed but at 5:25 this morning (25 minutes after the alarm went off) I dragged myself out to go for my walk/run to warm-up for my weights workout. Today I'm training shoulders, biceps and triceps with my new program. I decided to try a couple of different exercises courtesy of Oxygen mag. My youngest woke up and was complaining of sore legs so I gave her some panadol and plonked her in front of the box. I put it down to lack of sleep or growing pains. Part way through my workout she started throwing up so in between cleaning her up (and the lounge), washing towels etc I squeezed in my sets. My 40 minute workout has turned into an hour and a half. Hopefully the poor little love has got it out of her system - its hard to see them sick.
As disjointed as it was I still managed to have a good workout although I don't think I'll ever like shoulder presses. I should be able to go for another walk this arvo although I'm really looking forward to my bike ride I have planned for tomorrow.

Hey Michelle, good to see you making a great start on training for the year!
I'm just interested - what are you doing for cardio at the moment? And what's your weights workout like - no. of exercises, sets and reps? Yes, I'm a stickybeak! :)
Hope your daughter recovers fast!
Hey Kek,
I'm basically running, walking and riding. I'm looking at including skipping as well. I would love to hit the gym for cardio but unfortunately there are other priorities at the moment (school stuff for a start!).
Weights is a 3 day split doing 2 - 3 exercises per muscle group, 3 sets of 10-12 reps.
The little Miss threw up all morning and then said "I feel better now" and has been playing and eating like there was nothing wrong. Kids get over thing sooo fast.
