Exercise Program: Day 20 – Sledding

February 1st, 2010 by jessicafeliciano No comments »

This post is for Friday January 29, 2010. Read my update post from a few days ago if you want the lowdown on why I’m posting it today.

This is day 2 of no school due to weather incidents and it’s been great! I’ve been doing a bit more hanging out than usually, so it’s nice to be connecting with old friends. We still don’t have power, so we’ve been trying to find ways to entertain ourselves. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 20 – Sledding

I still have not yet decided what I’ll be doing, but I’ll announce my plan tomorrow when I figure it out. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 19 – My Last Running Day

Hello all! I guess I have some explaining to do. I know I haven’t posted since last Wednesday, other than the blog carnival, but for good reason. Here in Oklahoma, we had a mini ice/snow storm. We haven’t really had power, so I haven’t bee to make any posts whatsoever. My focus has been more on survival and staying warm. » Read more: Snow Storm the Past Few Days

Exercise Program: Day 18 – Light Strength Training

January 27th, 2010 by jessicafeliciano No comments »

I was feeling sore these past two days from running, so I decided to go light on my strength training. Light Workouts consist of high reps with low weights pretty much, so they’re a nice break from heavy lifting. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 18 – Light Strength Training

Exercise Program: Day 17 – Strength Training Benefits for Runners

January 26th, 2010 by jessicafeliciano No comments »

As you know, today was a cardio day for me and my goal was to run for 30 minutes straight. I’m getting back into running, so my focus right now is to increase my endurance.

Today, I was doing some research on strength training and how runnersĀ  benefit from adapting this kind of workout to their exercise program. The findings, scientifically have been quite interesting, so I chose this to be my topic for today. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 17 – Strength Training Benefits for Runners

Exercise Program: Day 16 – Strength Training

January 26th, 2010 by jessicafeliciano No comments »

Today was my strength training day. Nothing too fancy from what I’ve done in the past. I was running a bit late, so I rushed through exercises, and skipped some, so I could shower and get ready for a meeting I had. I didn’t have time to workout this morning, so I was lifting weights at around 7pm. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 16 – Strength Training

*Note: I thought I posted this on Friday, but I guess I didn’t. This workout was on Friday, 1/22/2010*

Nothing new today. I don’t have any special topics I’d like to go over with you all, but I plan to come up with a good line up for next week. I can’t believe we’ve already finished three weeks together. It’s kind of nice to see progress too, not just in weeks, but in compliments. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 15 – Just Another Day

Exercise Program: Day 13 – Joint Alignment

January 21st, 2010 by jessicafeliciano No comments »

Monday’s workout was pretty intense and I still felt a little sore yesterday, so I decided to take it easy buy doing some stretching today. I wanted to originally do yoga, but I couldn’t find the dvd, so stretching was the next best thing.

What was special about this stretching was how I’m working towards aligning my joints. Let me explain a bit more. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 13 – Joint Alignment
