Blast into July #ReadersWorkouts

Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.
As I mentioned last week, I really had to scramble to meet my exercises goals for June. But, I did it! That got me into a habit of more exercise that carried into July.
I’m well ahead of schedule to exercise 1300 minutes this month. A couple of times I’ve taken a short walk in the early evening just to be sure that I get in my 8000 steps a day without having to march around inside the house just before bed. Usually, I overshoot, so I’ve had three days over 10,000 steps — I’d love for that to become a habit.
How has your exercise been so far in July?
For Readers’ Workouts, talk about your fitness activities on your blog (feel free to grab the logo) and link to your post below or join us in the comments! Be sure to visit the other participants to see how we all did.
Tonight I have my second session with a trainer at the gym, the first was a fitness assessment, the second was a bunch of weights work, this one is to give me a hotel workout for my next Springfield MO trip.
When he told me that a goal is to bench press my own weight, I blurted out “I need to lose weight!” I can bench a measly 45 pounds, which is the bar with no weights on.
I’ve never actually tried a bench press, but I doubt I’d be able to lift the bar.
You’ve gotten a great start this month. That’s awesome!
I haven’t been exercising as much as I should, but I did take a walk yesterday that felt refreshing. I plan on taking daily walks until the baby gets here and then start back when I’m cleared to. I need some of your exercising mojo. 🙂
Maybe the daily walks will convince her its time to come out and see the world!
