My life as a fat girl: Elliptical workout

 

  Sometimes being shamed into fitness is amazing and other times it wears you down.    I'm a protectionist by nature.  I stress out and I obsess when I can't do something great!  When I do the park workouts I'm always stressed out about what the workout might consist of.  My upper body strength has a lot to be desired, but I try.  I can see how to an on looker it might seem like I'm not trying, but that thing they are seeing is a girl who is feeling defeated.  When something like push-ups is on the schedule I give up before I start.  I feel so dumb because I have never in my life been able to do a push up, and everyone around me is pumping them out.  If its abs, psht all day long I can literally do sit-ups for 30 min straight, and squats all day long..You ask me to do one pull up, yeah that's not gonna happen.  Today I did the park workout and my own gym workout.
    Today I went to "the girls gym".  It was my first time in there other then to take classes, and it was a really nice place.  Its was a little over whelming that the weight room in the girls gym was filled with a bunch of meat head dudes...-_- not cool....  So I decided to do the elliptical, and being a fat girl sometimes I feel a little lost in the gym so instead of wondering around I decided to do a full workout only using the elliptical. Don't ask me how I come up with this stuff, it just comes to me as I go.  I went so so so hard. haha I really did push really hard.  I did an hour in total on interval.  I will be posting a video of all the different moves so it is a little easier to understand. oh yeah ps I've lost 5 pounds!!! omg so excited!!!

Repeat until hour is up!!!Do normal 5 min cool down at end.
