I'm so bored of being home. I do nothing all day long and I can just feel my brain turning into mush! I walked my dog about 5km early this afternoon. I would have walked further but it's -15 out (celsius), and I was starting to get that brain-freeze feeling from the wind. When did it get so cold out? I swear 3 weeks ago I was going to classes in just a sweater and now I'm wearing a sweater, coat, mittens, scarf, etc out just to walk my dog. Anyway, I was still so bored I ran on my mom's treadmill in the basement for an hour. I prefer running outside, but it's just too cold for that today. Now I'm contemplating doing this yoga video my mom got for her birthday, but I'm wondering if it's worth it. Does anyone know how many calories you can burn doing yoga? Maybe I should just do it. It's not like I have anything better to do.
Today I've eaten a bowl of special k (110 calories), some soup my mom made which was basically just chicken broth and some veggies. I have no idea how many calories are in the soup because it's homemade, but I'm assuming it's pretty low cal. And that's it! I'm feeling hungry at the moment, but I'm going to wait a few hours before I eat some more of that soup. Then I'm going to do this workout I used to do when I danced (and was really fit). I know I probably won't make it through the whole thing (it takes about 45 minutes) but I'll try my best. It's basically sautes (jumping up and down repetitively in a certain position), leg lifts, pushups, modified pushups, crunches, modified crunches and this little combination that kills your legs. The combination is three sautes (jumps) with you legs together, feet turned out and then you do a split jump to the right (so you jump and point your right leg to the wall in front of you and at the same time your left leg to the wall behind you, making you do the splits in the air) then when you land you roll on your butt turning behind and then stand up. You then repeat the process on the left (it's the same as the one before except you do the left splits in the air instead of the right). Anyways, I used to do 40 reps, stretch for 2 minutes and then repeat it. I doubt i could get to 20 reps now but I'll give it a try tonight and see how it goes. After the combination I used to do some conditioning, although I suppose it's not really a big calorie burner so I may not do it tonight.
Note: That combination sounds really complicated, and it's really not. I apologize for my inability to explain what it is. I'll take some pictures tonight and put them up so I can explain it better.
Good Luck Everyone!
