Rumpy Rump is rumpy

[lady_kishiria]

Yesterday I realized there's no denying it.  Most of the five pounds I've been trying to lose are located in one spot:  my butt.  My rump has achieved a rumpiness it never possessed before.  

So the tactic is this:  no alcohol Sunday-Thursday, no sugar (this restriction will be lifted for the not-wedding this weekend), and adding the Stairmaster to my gym routine.  I can currently manage five minutes at a time before screaming for mercy.

Consider any deviation from this program to be a lapse in judgment and call me on it accordingly.

Still have your glass of wine every evening.

It's not that bad.

I'm going to be starting to do it too.

We can discuss this later, but I'm planning to just cut it out from Sunday to Thursday, at least until the rumpiness reduces.

Find a hill and walk up it over and over again. Stairmasters are wretched. If given the choice between paying to use gym equipment and Volksmarch, I'll use my feet for free, and I still get to listen to the iPod the whole time.

1. San Diego is flat.

2. I already have the gym membership and it's across the street from my current workplace, 3 short blocks away from my new one.
Stairmasters are wretched but they get the job done in much less time.

bike! regular biking is a great way to a fantastic ass. I swear, I grope my own ass.

I've also heard that stairmaster is bad for the knees. Perhaps lunges instead? I do them with weights in my hands held at my shoulders to activate my core muscles. I don't even do full steps: I simple stand with one foot out front and one out back and do reps of lowering one knee to the floor and flexing the hip and knee of the forward leg.

I got on the exercise bike at the gym until a cross-trainer came free. I felt sore in places that never hurt after I run, so great success!
