Mississippi Walk

This evening, Luke and Baxter and I went on a nice long walk. It was a gorgeous evening, especially by the river. And Baxter made a number of human friends; at the end of the night, Luke and I stopped in at one of our favorite restaurants in the neighborhood for some refreshment. We sat on the patio, and our server brought Baxter a bowl of water and a dog treat. Baxter isn't used to restaurant patios, especially those that are located on public sidewalks, and he felt he needed to greet EVERYONE that walked by!

Strength

Power 90 strength training routine. Done!

Belly, Butt, Thighs

Today, I did the Belly, Butt, and Thighs routines from Crunch Pilates. I realized I've been focused so much on my arms and legs, that my core area hasn't had much exercise. It felt good!

Lean vs. Defined Muscles

Today was another strength training day. I'm starting to get bored of this Power 90 routine, and I would actually like to build up some defined muscles, rather than have lean muscles, and this routine really emphasizes lean muscles (lighter weight and more reps).

Fat Burn vs. Cardio

Today, I walked with Baxter on my 3-mile running circuit. It took 45 minutes to complete. Then I did my Power 90 strength training.

Now that I do not have to focus as much on fat burning, I'm considering starting to run more often than walk. But walking is so much more relaxing!
