Total Mom Total Gym Update: Check Out My Arms!

by Kate on October 7th, 2010 | 14 Comments » | In Life

We are officially in crazy-over-scheduled-preparing-to-deploy-trips-vacation-mode. And it is so stressful. I am honestly thisclose to having a total breakdown. Like I mentioned last week, this is one of the reasons I so enjoy working out. I’m nervous about the next several weeks because we’ll be traveling and I obviously won’t have the Total Gym with me. I’ll fit in walks and maybe a hotel treadmill, but I really don’t want to lose any of the strength or endurance I’ve built. (I’ve worked up to a level 4 on many exercises!)

Today we had a little farewell for my husband at his work. We took a family photo out by the plane. And, do you know what I noticed in this picture?

Not my son acting crazy, or my daughter distracted or my good looking husband. No, I am totally staring at MY ARM! Look, there’s, like, definition.

Okay, so I just showed my husband and he wasn’t all that impressed. Whatever. I can tell a difference in my arms – among other more muscle-y parts – and I like it.

    Well, I’m impressed :)
    it’s not easy for women to bulk up as fast as men (although what you have is lean muscle and definitely not bulk)
    You’re doing great!

      Thank you! I really appreciate it.

      I’ve been mostly doing the “Long & Lean” Total Gym work out, which I really like.

      It’s hard to find the time, that’s for sure. I’ve been working out at night after the kids go to bed – which I obviously couldn’t do if I had to go to a gym.
