Workout: Easy Run
Outside 46 mins
4.0 miles 519 calories
I don't know why, maybe because I went into this run with a better attitude, but it felt 10x better and "easier" (used loosely cause running never seems easy to me) today than it did on Friday. The temperature was awesome- 70 degrees. The sun was still shining and Pandora was blasting the LMFAO station (laugh all you want but it seemed to have kept my spirits up!). RunnersWorld recommended my Easy Run to be ran at a 12:30 min/mile but that seemed rather slow so I knocked a minute off of there and ran 4 very comfortable 11:30 min/miles.
Onto my issue at hand: thunder thighs. I ran in shorts for the second time this year (rather than my usual GapFit capris) and by mile 3 my thighs were aching! I know the technical term for this is "chaffing" but I really hate that word. I don't know why but something about it grosses me out. Maybe cause the thought of my thighs rubbing together also grosses me out. I don't really ever remember having this issue before which makes me feel like my thighs have gotten even bigger (I didn't think this was possible!) forcing them to rub up on one another!! Ewww. So I need help. WHAT DO I DO TO STOP THIS AWFUL FEELING?! I don't see any "burn" marks as of now so I guess that's good but I really do not like this. Have you had chaffing issues before? What did you do to prevent it?? If anything I think this means I need to get back to the trainer at the gym and have him give me some workouts to get these puppies toned up.
Because I was feeling semi-good when I got home (the thigh thing really has me in a tizzy) I decided to do "The All New Muffin-Top Workout" from my Glamour Magazine. Here's what it entailed:
A couple of the moves felt a bit awkward but overall I didn't mind it and it was pretty quick. If I feel anything tomorrow I think I'll start trying to do this a few times a week. I'd hate to have a muffin top to compliment my thunder thighs.
That's really all I got for you tonight. I've got to heads to my first official High School Reunion Planning Committee Meeting...fingers crossed all goes well!
people want to look like a muffin-top? don't get that one
ReplyDeletefound the definition from urbandictionary.com: When a woman wears a pair of tight jeans that makes her flab spill out over the waistband, just like the top of a muffin sits over the edge of the paper case.
Deletein conclusion, why do people want to look like this? why is there a "workout" for this? i'm pretty sure you can just get fat, wear tight pants, and not workout to achieve this look
You misunderstood it. It's a work out to PREVENT getting a muffin top. That'd be awful if I was intentionally trying to get one...ewww.
