21 Day Fix: Day 2 Upper Fix

It's day 2 of the 21 Day Fix Challenge and the workout was Upper Fix. As you can imagine based on the name the focus was upper body.

The workouts were 60 second sets and 15-20 second breaks in between. As before the warm up was the first part of the workout. It was somewhat painful for me, in a good way, since I'm sore from yesterday's workout. Like yesterday I modified the in place job and the jumping jacks for the sake of my downstairs neighbors. The upper body exercises were really good. You could either use two free weights/dumbells or resistance bands. I had not used my resistance bands before because they are new, so I had to try them out to find the right resistance. I started with the black band which was the equivalent of about 30 lbs, then after trying the blue one I settled for the green one at about 10 lbs.

For certain exercises you were told to use a lighter weight, so I used a pair of 3 lb and 5 lb dumbells. The first half of the workout you're on your feet. The focus is your triceps and back as well as core. The seconf half of the workout is all on your mat. The focus is chest and biceps as well as abs. I wasn't uncomfortable during any of the workouts. I enjoyed each one and definitely felt the "burn" letting me know that I was actually working those muscles groups. Again, one of the greatest benefits is that they're only 30 minutes long. I got it done between the time I got home and prepped dinner.

Tomorrow's working is Lower Fix I hope my lower body is ready for it!
