Hourly Training

dukowitz@gmail.com's picture

Last week I moved out my couch and coffee table from my living room to convert it to a bit of a mini gym consisting of an elliptical machine, adjustable bench and six dumbells.

Over the weekend I did a simple rotation of studying for an hour at a time followed by a short break of cleaning and one exercise set.
I used light dumbbells with high reps, maybe good for increasing mental capacity for fitness, getting some blood flow and relearning the exercise movements.

Incline DB Press - 20lbs for 20 reps
overhead DB Press - 20lbs for 20 reps
DB Bench - 20lbs for 20 reps
DB Tri Ext - 25lbs for 20 reps

Need stretching and snacking suggestions

ahumaciu@verizon.net's picture

Anyone have any suggestions for snacks in the middle of the night while "we" are feeding. I have been having bars (nutrigrain, promax, breakfast cookies, etc.) But everytime I do I hear Julia (and my dentist) nagging me about the sugar content, haha! It can't be anything that needs refrigeration since I don't want to run downstairs between feedings to get anything, I just want to crawl back into bed. Did I mention he is feeding every two hours?!

Also, I am looking for suggestions for stretching my chest and mid back. The two tight areas are my sternum (I feel a little ball when I try to massage it) and my back in the spot directly opposite my sternum. I have been trying cat and cow yoga poses when I can sneak them in - they do help. Just wondering if anyone has any other ideas.
