Sikcell: People living with Sickle Cell

We still Hope

Workout

Who works out and what do you do? I love to weight lift. Usually at least 3 days a week. I also do things at home, like push ups and pull ups when I can't/don't make it to the gym.

I do weights as well, but I always do cardio to warm up first. I do 10 mins of cardio, usually the elliptical machine, then do 5 sets of 10-12 reps with weights targeting specific areas...chest, abs, arms or legs, then do another 10 minutes of cardio. I keep doing this for about an hour, getting about 40 minutes cardio total with a full body workout. Every other day.

On alternate days, I either do yoga at home, or take a zumba class. I love being healthy and fit.

I tried running and jogging outside but that gave me alot of pain in my knees for days after, even with special running shoes, so I just workout in the gym with music blasting on my ipod
