Foggy icy morning - probably shouldn't go walking lest I fall down and can't get up |
One thing I have been planning is to start lifting weights. The last time I bothered to do this activity was May 30, 2014. Since I have let it slide for half a year, I should start at the beginning gently. Why? Because if not I will cripple myself resulting in 4 days in bed and perhaps an expensive visit to the doctor. So I will take it slow.
Here is my list of beginning exercises:
Start standing:
15 standing lunges each leg with 5lb in each hand
15 standing lunges with bicep curls - 5 lb in each hand
24 bicep curls 8lb
16 tricep 8lb
24 rows each arm 8lb
Get down on the mat:
24 chest 8 lb
16 sits ups each R and L leg with 8 lbs
8 sits ups with twist 8 lbs

So do you have any favorite exercises??? Any suggestions on what I should be doing? I am thinking 4 times a week would be acceptable to engage in an activity such as this.
