100 lb. Club - Are You Moving?: Exercise Week of April 30-May 6

Hi, 3FC Friends! Have you incorporated exercise into your plan? Have you moved today? As we all know, exercise can make our hearts stronger, strengthen and tone our muscles....and make the pounds and inches drop off quicker! Share your exercise experiences with us and let's get motivated together.


Today, another 60 minutes of interval walking on the treadmill.:tread:

60 minutes - that's wonderful!

I did 30 minutes at Curves this morning and am hoping to squeeze in another 30 minutes walking at the park this evening. My husband and daughter are going with me, so there will be no talking myself out of it tonight! Of course, my husband is a runner, so he will literally be running circles around me as I walk, but movement is movment, right?? ;)

I did 60 minutes today on the cross-ramp at the gym and I haven't done that in about 6 weeks. I am trying to re-motivate myself and set some new goals as I just returned from a great vacation but now it's time to buckle down and get busy!!

I exercised!! Finally! I went for a SLOW walk with a friend - 30 minutes and then we played tennis for 35 minutes. I did most of the running there, it was good though! It feels good to be back!! I also changed my picture AND ticker, heh. I'm truely back now!

-Aimee

35 minutes on the elliptical - 5.31 miles....tomorrow I bump up to 40 minutes for May. :)

Aimee, I love the new pic!

Yesterday I did Turbo Jam 3T (strength training).

Today I'm going to do a TJ Cardio. :)

Sunday-Cardio Coach #2 (40 minutes on recumbent bike)
Monday-rest day-felt crappy
Tuesday-so far Leslie Sansone two mile walk, will do a twenty minute bike ride and yoga later.

Sherry

40 minutes - 5.75 miles on my elliptical.

Did my Turbo Jam - Cardio Party 1 - 43 mins, 450 calories burned. :)

I recently purchased Debbie Rocker's "Walking for Weight Loss" CD/DVD combo. It is great and very motivating...maybe too motivating, as I found out today. I started out on my normal walking route, but decided to take a detour through the 55+ community close to my neighborhood. It is a wonderful place to walk, except that all of the streets and homes look exactly the same. I must have been very tuned in to the CD, because I wound up getting completely lost within the oh-so beige world of this senior "village" (as it's called). I managed to find my way out, but not before it began getting dark. So here I am, traipsing through unmowed grass, up and down hills on the side of the road (envisioning crime scenes at every turn - must stop watching so much CSI), back into my neighborhood where, oddly enough, I wind up in my driveway just as the CD program is ending. So, did I find the perfect door-to-door route? Maybe not...:p

...LWM...

LOL LWM. At least you got a great workout! Some days I want to walk far, then I worry that I won't make it back. You've given me the courage to do it!

Went to Curves and walked - I got in 45 minutes today.........

:lol: LWM, that's too funny! I should try to walk around and get lost sometime.. I used to *love* doing that in the car when I first started driving, a cheap thrill.. heh. Sounds like you got a great workout in!

75 min yoga class tonight for me

45 minutes of interval walking on the treadmill....didnt get a full hour today:( We were running late and I had a conference call to get back to.

Monday was a bust, pulled my achilles tendon and it hurt to bad to walk, much less to do dance cardio.
Tueday: Achilles still hurts, so I didn't bounce that hard during the step aerobics and did all my weight lifting.

Nicki - sorry to hear that you are hurt, definitely NOT fun :(

Tiffany - thanks! I kinda think this picture is cute too :)

So today I headed out for 60 min walk, but fell and sprained my ankle. I bailed pretty good, I have very bruised and sore knees, and my hands are a little ripped up as well. Sucks. Hopefully I'm back to normal soon! I got a 40 min walk in.

-Aimee

40 minutes - 5.82 miles on my elliptical

Nicki and Aimee ~ Sending :getwell: wishes your way. :hug:

This is a fun thread! Yesterday I took a women's free weights class and did 20 mins elliptical (2 miles) and 20 mins (3 miles) on the stationary bike. Today I took my first ever Tai Chi class (love.love.loved it!!!) and did 5 miles on the bike (30 mins). The bike is new for me. I'm trying to train myself for a spinning class. I've got a long way to go I think!

Yesterday, I went to the gym (first time in WEEKS!) and did 45 min. on the elliptical. Today, I went for a 30 min. walk with my dog. Not much, but at least I'm easing back into the habit!

60 minute walk around town. Burned 506 calories. :)

Today....ta da....another 60 minutes on the treadmill, 565 calories. It felt tougher than usual today!

Nicki and Aimee: Ouch! Hope you are both on the mend.

ScarlettDrawl: Every little bit counts.

As for me, 30 minutes at Curves (plus the 5 minutes it takes to walk there and home again. :o Yes, I live that close, so there is no excuse for me not to go!)

40 minutes - 5.83 miles - on my elliptical. 30 minute program of Namaste Yoga (minus commercials...so don't know how many actual minutes of Yoga....I'm guessing 20?)

60 minutes of interval walking on the treadmill...525 calories....not a lot of it was in the cardio zone...mostly stayed in the weight loss zone. I was really struggling today. Maybe I overdid it yesterday...my hips feel fatigued and achey and my energy level was really lacking.

I think I need to start writing down what I do :)

Last night I did 30 minutes of Jillian Michaels The biggest winner Shape-Up front. It is hard :)

I finally got to do a bit of exercise today. I've been going INSANE with this stupid tendonitis. I tried to run on the treadmill but could only run one mile because of the pain, then I did 20 minutes on the recumbent bike. Guess I need to see a doctor about this foot. :(

Thursday:

Misty Tripoli "Spirit Groove" dance workout

Sherry

I did a 30 minute work out, Jillian Michaels Shape Up Back.

Monday: walking through airports
30 min swimming

Tuesday: walking through airports

Wednesday: goose egg. :mad:

Yesterday was a rest day. Today I'll do Turbo Jam.

40 minutes - 5.6 miles on the elliptical

I did not update my ticker yet - but yesterday I got in 45 minutes.

Today I think I am going to just walk... maybe - I don't know.

Tomorrow I am going to go to Curves.

Did some weight training today. 48 minutes, 383 calories burned.

After a strong start this week, I'm afraid I fizzled. BUT tomorrow will be a very busy day. I will be walking around Kings Dominion all day. I do believe I will get a bit of a workout tomorrow! Plus I get to have fun with the Youth Group from church.

P.S. ~ My son is not pleased because his kid sister's going too! ;)

This week my workouts consisted of:

Sunday-Walking for 32 minutes
Monday-FIRM Basics Sculpting with Weights video (45 minutes)
Wednesday-FIRM Basics Fat Burning video (45 minutes)
Thursday-FIRM Pilates (30 minutes)
Friday-FIRM Prime Power Lower Body video (45 minutes)

Last night i did one of my Firm transfirmer workouts and today I am sore :)

That's great, nelie! I love soreness because I know I'm getting stronger. Delightful!

I still can't do cardio because of my foot (now I know where restless leg syndrome probably comes from...a lack of cardio! I'm so restless I can't stand it), but I did an upper body/abs workout today and really tried to push myself.

Did Turbo Jam Cardio Party 2. 44 minutes, 452 calories. :)

I estimated all my walking yesterday to 300 minutes. We were at the park 7.5 hours and walked all over the place. Back and forth between the rides the girls wanted to do.

Today I did a Firm workout for 42 minutes.

30 mins of Turbo Jam. I didn't finish the tape :( I was so tired, and I thought the workout would give me energy but it didn't. Well, 30 mins is better than no mins. :)

I got in 60 minutes today - I did my 30 minutes at Curves plus an extra 15, I also walked 15 minutes today.

30 minutes at Curves and then 60 minutes yoga/Pilates class (my first ever - thank goodness for a safe spot waaaaaay in the back!).

Thursday: 15 min walk, we changed directions this time & it was a good walk.
15 min walk, we went still a different direction & that felt great, too!
friday: 15 min walk. We took our usual route & I feel...almost nothing, Yes, I can feel I exercised, but I do not feel as good as yesterday. So this afternoon we will take one of the different routes. :yes:
15 min walk, took a totally new route. :)

I've done 40 minutes on the elliptical everyday even though I've failed to post it. :)

So I've been walking to work, 2km's, for the last 3 days. I wish it was more, but unfortunately since the bf has to commute to work now my 6km walks are out :( Time to work the videos!

-Aimee

I stayed after work and used the exercise room there - did 45 minutes... cardio and strength - even got the nerve to try the elliptical - it was kind of fun...

My foot still hasn't healed, but I managed 30 minutes on the recumbent bike today. Ugh...can't get my heart rate up on that thing.

I was sick with a cold so I didn't exercise for a couple of weeks. But since Monday I have walked two laps (that's about 10 minutes, but I am walking on hills), rode my stationary bike for 20 minutes, done the Gazelle type machine fpr five minutes, and done about 10 flights of stairs everyday. It feels good. :carrot:

40 minutes - 6 miles - on the elliptical

45 minutes at Curves - 3 times around the circut for me.... :dizzy:

So far this week, I've only exercised 2 days.
Monday: Mowed the lawn, push mower, 50 minutes
Thursday: Walked 20 minutes, approx. 1 mile and 1 Firm video, 42 minutes

I have a mild ankle sprain. I walked yesterday for about 40 mins, but it wasn't a very brisk walk. I hope I can exercise tonight.

40 minutes - 6.02 miles (yes, the .02 counts!!! :) ) on my elliptical and 30 minute Namaste Yoga on FitTV. Program is 30 minutes so yoga was probably only 20-25...

Did Turbo Jam 20 minute. My ankle felt fine, thank goodness.

Lisa, how's your foot doing? I miss your runs posted in this thread!

I just noticed there isn't a new thread for this week....oh well!

Just finished 40 minutes - 6.1 miles - on my elliptical.

I mowed half of my lawn, my son mowed the rest. I pulled weeds while he mowed. We were out there for a bit more than an hour.
Then we had thunderstorms this evening and it really cooled off afterwards. So I grabbed the dog and walked for 25 minutes. Came home, grabbed the other dog and walked him for 10...he's a chihuahua and 10 minutes was a workout for him! :running:

40 minutes - 6.17 miles - on the elliptical.
