The Tippy Toe Diet

Changing to a healthier lifestyle...one eensy, teensy step at a time

Daredevil Fitness

Tomorrow is a Very Big Day for me. As I mentioned earlier this week, I have to build and execute my own strength workout. In the past when I've had to do this, I planned for a "make do" workout, just enough to satisfy the strength-training requirement. And that was fine. I'd be tempted to do the same this time, considering it's a holiday, but with my personal trainer sessions coming to an end, it's more important for me to know that I can do this on my own.

And I can, you know. :)

If that wasn't enough pressure, I'm raising the bar by
1) going to the gym for this workout
2) going to the weight area (a.k.a. Manville) of the gym
3) going to the weight area of the gym while wearing my sports tank, previously worn only in the privacy of my own home and once in the backyard (but never the front yard)

Ah, the drama! The angst! Surely this is enough stress to take my mind off the actual workout. :)

I hope you all have safe and healthy weekend!

Of course you can! I have nary a doubt.

I'm very excited to hear how your quest to reclaim Manville on behalf of Woman goes. :-) We have a right there too, you know. Go, Cammy!

I think you'll rock it, and the dudes will be so impressed by that girl in the hot tank... for sure!

you CAN SO DO IT.
and you made me smile and actually kinda agree with you about the stress NOW will totally make the workout seem like nothing.

I cant wait to read about how it went.

i can picture it now: you walk into the weightroom in slow motion, wind blowing in your hair. everything is in slow motion and all the guys stop what they are doing and turn to look at you. you walk over to a guy struggling under a 200 pound bench press and pick it up with one hand. and then wink.

i want to go with you.

You'll do great! :)

Good for you and for the pushup challenge.

Now, was that 30 regular or "modified" pushups? Either way I'm totally impressed! (don't know where I got the "girl" pushup term from ;)

Hey, good job going into Manville... and with a sports tank no less! I honestly get soo nervous in the weight area when men are there, even though I know what I am doing. More power to us for going there and working out though. And you can do your workouts and training on your own. Personal trainers help you get started and teach you things, but now you are ready to fly solo. You will do great.

Of course you can do this on your own. Because you ROCK!

Enjoy Manville and I'm sure you'll knock their "sox" off with your sports tank.

Once upon a time I use to go to the gym. I would avoid the free weights area completely! Mainly due to lack of knowledge. But you have that knowledge! Go for it! And that tank, way cute! Have fun.

You're going to do great with your Daredevil challenge! I'm sure you'll be looking cute in your sports bra!! I can't wait to read all about what you ended up doing, how it went, and how many heads you turned in "Manville" when they got a glimpse of you in the sports bra.

That 9-0 looks SO awesome in your sidebar; and I'm convinced that as you have sowed so generously into the lives (blogs) of all your readers, you will continue to reap positive changes and rewards in your own life, Cammy.

Good luck on your workout - with the spiffy sports tank!

You're awesome, girl!

Oooo...I hate going to Manville! haha! Let us know how it turns out, how well and thoroughly you conquered Manville and opened its borders to the rest of us women-folk. *grin*

you GO girl! Can't wait to hear how it went and what you came up with.

I have 4 PT sessions left and then I'm considering going on my own for awhile so I'm very interested in the topic of coming up with your own routines.

ohhhh....and manville......I experience that on certain days/times at the gym....there is a definite man-candy crowd that shows up. Totally different 'vibe' than the older/chubbier early morning crowd!
