So I found my pilates resistance tubing. Hiding in the back of a closet, of course. I did a WHOLE LOT of stair climbing today — my job for today was on the fourth floor of a building with no elevators, and I tried as much as possible to take the stairs or walk up the escalators in all of the metro stations that I went to — so I figured I had done a good amount of leg exercise. I just did a few side kicks with the tube to work my inner thigh muscles. I can't actually find a good website with a demo of this, but it's in the starter guide that came with the tube. You stand on the middle of the tube with one foot and loop the handle of one end around the other foot, and use that one to kick out to the side, stretching your inner thigh.
After that, I moved on to a few arm exercises. I did bicep curls, tricep extensions, and lateral raises, 3 sets of 10 reps each. Just the recommended amount, nothing more. My arm muscles are pretty lame, I think I'll have to do these exercises more often than the abs.
On a side note, my cat found the resistance tubing fascinating to chase, and now she has gone completely psycho and is chasing nothingness on my bed. This exercise regime may cause her to go entirely insane.
