Workout for tonight jogging with baby!

So we had so much fun last night that I decided to take the baby jogging again tonight! We started out power walking for about 5 minutes and then I just put some fast music on started jogging. It is definitely different than running on the treadmill. Outside it was more fun I think plus having the baby in her stroller was nice. She can enjoy the workout with me even though it is more work for me. That just means more calories! :)
So we jogged and we jogged, we went up hills and down them and all around. It was definetely a nice change of pace from the monotonous gym.So I jogged for about 30 minutes and then did a cool down walk for about 5 more minutes.
I thought I would be done but when I looked at my Polar Monitor it said I had only burned 350 calories. Well that was not good enough for me! I came in and did some weight training with my arms primarily so I do not over work my legs. I also worked on my abs with some exercises from last chance and no more trouble zones. I was happy to reach my goal of 400 calories in under an hour!
So then I did a final stretch and ended the workout with my ISO 100 shake!


So take time everyday to workout. It does not have to be a rigid gym routine! Find something you love to do and you will enjoy working out much more!

That is great! So cool that you're taking her jogging now as well. I mean, 8 months ago do you think you would have been? You go girl!
