I started to get the urge to work out again a week or so ago, but it wasn't until I started lifting weights again yesterday that I realized just how much I really did miss my workouts. I honestly felt my whole body come alive! Bless you, endorphins!
I grabbed some dumbbells and took myself through the following workout:
It was a total-body strength workout, and even though I took a lot of breaks to check in with Chase's coos, replace the pacifier in his mouth, and bounce him a bit when he got restless, I consider the workout a small victory.
Up until yesterday's workout, I have solely been walking outside for fitness. I worked up to walking five miles comfortably but have really missed strength training a lot. It's my favorite, and I am already anxiously awaiting to my first postpartum BodyPump class. (I'm a little freaked out about it, too! I am sure I will be sore for days.) I'm also really looking forward to blogging about fitness again.
To learn more about each of these moves and this workout, check out Peanut Butter Fingers.
