Weigh-In: Week 21

So I haven't really been keeping up with my weekly weigh-ins. And boy did it catch up with me. I was regaining so much! But that was also, because when I was abroad, I wasn't doing as much cardio as I usually do. And then of course, clumsy me, I injured myself. So then, even when I got back home, I couldn't resume my usually exercise regimen due to not being able to move my leg! And then of course, I was all bloated because of mother nature! Ugh! Everything was going against me. I regained like 5 pounds. Then last week, I was able to start running again. Heck, I even did 12mi in one day - the longest I think I've ever done. So this week was a little better, I'm starting to shed those pesky pounds again.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

There wasn't much change this week in every way - weight loss or routine. Bummer! But at least I lost something. That's always good.

Whitney Port's Workout Tips

Whitney Port, of “reality” shows – The Hills, The City – fame, and her trainer, Danny Connolly, shares some workout moves that she does in every session.

“This is the cross-cable push/pulls. It emphasizes the obliques and core, in addition to working the shoulders, arms, and back muscles.”

“Here you the traveling lunge, which is a standard trainer favorite. I utlize them with all of my girls and White has benefited greatly from this move. It works thigh, butt, and hips. We always concentrate on keeping her upper body tall and erect to emphasize the abs too. While this may not be one of her favorite, Whitney does them perfectly! My form is very strict, or I should say that I am very meticulous about the manner in which I teach THIS move in particular.”

“This is the weighted ball toss for toning the waistline and shoulders – it’s Whit’s favorite move we do! We have her concentrate on controlling the momentum aspect. We keep her arms as straight as possible, too.”

“This move is tough. It takes a fair amount of upper body strength to lift the lower torso ‘off’ the seat. This move indirectly targets the arms and shoulders, but is actually an abdominal movement. It works primarily the lower ab region.”

“This one is another Whitney favorite. It is called alternating bicep curl with tension bands. She curls the bands across her body and controls the speed on the way down.”

“Lastly we have the tricep dips on a bench. She does these well every time! We try to keep her upper body close to the bench as she lifts and lowers her body up and down. This move works the shoulders and arms really well!”
