Kind of a stressful Monday for me! Work was busy plus I got all this mess going on with my car. We're not really any closer to understanding what's wrong with it. Right now it looks like I'll have to wait a few days. Not cool!
So I came home and had tickle fights with my husband. After almost karate chopping him in the face (I have a really bad and uncontrollable reaction to being tickled) I did the responsible thing and made myself get up to go work out.
Today - triceps, shoulders, chest.
Also - a chance to try out my new experiment!
I got a mirror for my gym room! An over the door mirror that I didn't even bother to take out of the box. Yes. The point is to have a way to check my form. At this point I am not working out at a gym, so I don't have the advantage of being surrounded by mirrors. Tried this out today and it was really helpful. There were a couple times where I corrected myself. I'm thinking about getting a second mirror to put horizontally against the wall - so I have something for movements that are down on the floor.
The one thing I'm struggling with lately has been dips. I freaking suck at them. But in just 3 workouts I have noticed a big improvement! This is why I'm trying to be really consistent with my training - otherwise I won't see any results, whether they be physical appearance, strength, or muscle functionality. I will continue to work and I will get better!
