Welcome The Gramma

Today I did a short one of 1.5 with the dogs then another 3.5 on the treadmill.

did a 45 min the firm ultimate fat burner dvd and will walk the dog after dinner settles

I was wondering . . .
What are the accountability ideals for this thread?

Once a day?

52 minutes - The Firm Bootcamp

The gramma, you post what exercise you did per day to keep yourself accountable. I try and post here everyday unless I have a rest day.

THE GRAMMA ~ whatever works best for you! We are all here just to support each other...for me...I need to post every day! If I can do this then I am doing my job!

Then my goal to start, will be to post each day that I do exercise. Maybe I will get to the point where I will exercise every day.;)

:welcome: Gramma!

That's my goal too!

welcome gramma...

add 25 min walk with the mutt to end the night...and a pretty night it was.

I think I finally got my ticker workin!
I am so old school:)

Last night: 43 mins light cardio, split between jogging on treadmill & elliptical: 350 cals.

Hmmmm. . . .
I thought I posted this already.

2 mile walk today .:carrot:

very tired today. But did manage to get my butt up and take the dog for a 20 min walk...would have gone longer but the mutt seemed tired..or maybe it was just me ????

A 3 mile walk with the dogs...a lot of "news" to sniff...one hour!

I'm just getting back into exercise after doing zero for about 3 years.
It's Detroit, I tell you! (no, I don't mean I live in Detroit, I mean I am using Detroit instead of the four letter cuss word that starts with an "H")
I had my third fitness training session today with the trainer guy at the gym. I want to lie down for 4 days now.
In Other Words: OW!

2 mile walk/2 miles WATP :dizzy:

Did 60 mins on the treadmill this afternoon. A little over 6 miles and 550 cals. I think that's the farthest I've ever run, so, yay me!

I know, I know . . .
A 13 hour work day doesn't count:faint:
No exercise today kids:(

Had a great exercise day today! For lunch I went to Pump class for 60 minutes and then after work I did a 60 minute kick boxing class. Very proud of myself.

40 minutes - Treadmill (3 miles)

Angie took the dogs before I got home from work so I did 3 miles on the treadmill before I fifnished my work-out on ITALIAN! for date night....oops!

45 min elliptical. Still need to do my upper body weights for the old bones! :carrot:

52 minutes - The Firm Bootcamp

55 min hike...up and back down kennesw national mt. about 2.5 miles total. And i was carring about 2 L of water. It was a great day with dh and the dog.

Angie and I walked the dogs to Starbucks this morning for their Latte water....3.5 miles.

gary...you need to invest in startbuck stock...seems like you go there daily. lol

40 minutes - Treadmill (3.2 miles)

Walked 2 miles yesterday.

I am cleaning the entire house and doing more laundry today. I work as much a sweat doing this as I do with the WATP's in my living room, lol!

Ran my 3.25 with my dog. Only 271 cals today. :(

Up North it was Thanksgiving weekend, nothing but housework on Saturday, Sunday was a 60 min walk/jog with dog. Monday it was in the 80's freakishly hot for October in Ontario, but I loved every moment!! I remember years it has snowed on this weekend. Went for a 2 hour bike ride by Lake Ontario, it was awesome! Not sore from the workout but Lord I hate bike seats, I think I bruised by butt

20 min walk with dh and dog..and then 45 min the firm dvd. feeling good!

Nah GATORGAL, Angie and I go on Saturday if I am off work or on Sunday if we went to Saturday night service. It is a nice 3.5 mile walk for us and the girls. It is about a mile there then we go the long way home for another 2.5 miles. A little less than a half hour there, a cup of coffee for me, tea and a scone for Angie, water and a cookie for the girls and off we go for the hour walk home from there.

Today I took the girls for a short 1.5 mile walk since it was hot, then did 2 on the treadmill.

Took the mutts for 3 so Angie could run today.

40 minutes - Treadmill (3 miles)

didn't get exercise in today....had to run errands after work and now to bloody tired...but i'll try tomorrow.

I exercised my mouth cussing out a bill collector who keeps stalking and harassing me, does that count? Stipid woman, stalking & harassing isn't gonna make me get the money any faster. :devil:

Tuesday October 9 did 60 minutes of Kickboxing
Today 60 minute aerobic/weights class

11 min warm up run (100)

Wow. Great exercise day Gamma!

3 miles of sniff every poop/pee spot bush/tree/cable box in the neighborhood....the "paper" must have been good this evening! They are wore out! Didn't even bother to beg Angie to go, when she took off for her run.

Couldn't sleep. :tired:

45min elliptical.

Thanks baffled :)

Today is 60 minutes of kickboxing + 60 minutes of weight training

3.5 miles today...an easy day for the girls 1.5, then 2 for me on the treadmill.

15 min walk and 15 min run combo. felt great tonight...the longest amount of time i've run in FOREVER...i think the great cool fall weather helped...but i'm stoked!

10 min warm up run (100)
FBWO (276)

I met a fitness goal today: I squatted my bodyweight! 2 full sets of 10. Hooray!

Angie ran the dogs this morning before work. I got on the treadmill and "zoned" for 90 minutes and 6 miles!

Short run with the dog this morning--a little more than 2 miles. 185 cals.

We were planning on going to Starbucks to get the mutts their double water latte's but it was raining. We still did a quick 1.5 around the neighborhood, then while Angie did yoga I finished with 3 miles on the treadmill.

Everyone is doing GREAT! Must be the wonderful fall weather.
Baffled-great job on the SSSkaaaaaaaaaaaawat! :jig:

Me-45 min elliptical (finally spelling it correctly-I hope)
Upper & lower body weights 15repsX3sets.
Stretching and got all my water in-yeah! :dance:

Have a great weekend all!:D

3 treadmill miles before church. If the girls don't chew anything up, while we are gone, they may get a walk later today.

Ugh. My primary exercise this weekend has been sitting in the car, eating and drinking. Not good!

Oct 12 = 60 minutes of step class
Oct 13 = 60 minutes of Kickboxing + 60 minutes of pilates
Oct 14 = 60 minutes of Step class
Oct 15 = 60 minutes of hip hop

I feel good! I just did the:
Woman's Health- Wedding Day workout
30 minutes Arms & chest and cardio workout.

I love the way it's set up. The have the premade workout's, which is best for me and the custome. I did the premade one. They have them set up for daily workouts so there's structure which is exactly what I need right now in the way that I eat and the way I exercise. They have the premade set up into a Strapless dress workout, or a Waist snugging, short cut. I am going for the strapless even though my dress really isn't all that strapless.

It goes like this:
Mon- Upper body & cardio
Tues- Tummy & core & Cardio
Wed- Lower body & Cardio
Thurs- Upper & cardio
Fri- Lower & cardio
Sat Upper
Sun - rest

Problem will be getting dude to go away for 30 minutes or so on Sat's so I can workout, hehe. Shouldn't be too hard. I may still do my 2 mile neighborhood walk too because I just feel like I should be doing a little more. Even though it was challenging and I DID sweat.

Angie ran the dogs before work...I did 4 miles on the treadmil after my dr's. appt.

EDIT ~ Adding 1.5 afternoon walk with mutts...they are tired now!

2 mile WATP- 30 minutes (ran in place some)
10 minute Abs (The Wedding Workout)

I signed up for the gym last week. I'm going 5 days a week and I love it. It's a women's gym (it's just like Curves but it's called Pace Fitness) It's a Hydraulic Circuit of machines and as well they have exercise bikes. I've gone from NEVER exercising to exercising regularly and I already feel better.

3.5 miles with dogs and treadmill combo.

Hi, New here...I'm kicking myself into high gear this week. I want these last five pounds off by Nov. 10th!


Monday- Elliptical for 30 minutes, weight circuit for 30...I incresed weights on some machines, and I felt it.

Tuesday- I had planned to do the 4:50 BodyJAM class followed immediately by BodyPUMP. But I decided to start a 7 weeks to a 5k program, so I did Day 1 on the treadmill before BodyPump. Warm up walk(5 minutes), then 25 minutes of 3 minutes running/2 walking, and then a short, 3 minute cool down(Had to get to the exercise room). At BodyPump, I upped my weights and I feel it!

Wednesday- My 5K program says to Cross train and I'm a little sore from yesterday. I'm thinking 30 on the elliptical and I may try out this ski-esque machine I noticed for 10 or 15. I think I need to up my cardio to get the flat stomach I want! Probably no weights, maybe some lower abs cause I feel like we didn't work them yesterday.

Thursday- 5K training and BodyPump.

Took the "girls" out so they could read their morning paper for 1.5 miles...off to work now....hoping for some treadmill miles later...have a great day.

welcome to the NEW KIDS!

EDIT ~Adding 3 more miles with the mutts.

:welcome: DGAdDawg

Wedding Workout again:
15 minutes legs
20 minutes High Impact Aerobic's

Thought about throwing in some WATP's but I feel like I got a good workout, so instead I am going to condiiton my hair. :)

Congratulations, Amanda!
I just saw the announcement about the magazine cover! You go girl!!!!:carrot:

Oct 16 = 60 minutes of Kickboxing
Oct 17 = 60 minutes of High Intensity Aerobics class
Oct 18 = 120 minutes of Kickboxing + 60 minutes of Weight Training

Yesterday, I just did cardio as I was a bit sore from BodyPump Tuesday. 30 min. elliptical, 15 on the treadmill, walking at an 8 incline at 3.5 mph...I could probably speed that up. Today is supposed to be 5K training day and BodyPump.

Ok, not sure what I've done here but about 5 minutes before my workout, I managed to pull something in my back. I puffed my inhaler as to not have an attack during exercise, put my hair up and I have NO idea how but suddenly my lower back is freaking KILLING me. So, here I sit, ibuprofen taken and heating pad on the back wondering WTH?! I hate when this happens. Guess I'll have to take a day of rest, grrrrrrrrr....

I'm doing pretty well with cardio, it's strength training I tend to want to avoid, but I did what I planned this am, an express circuit (8 machines set up together) even though I was tempted not to. I got up extra early to make sure it happened.

GREAT JOB GALS!

I did 1.5 with the dogs before work this morning and just finished 3 on the treadmill this afternoon.

Well, I decided to make today my rest day...rather, mother nature did. Its ok. Its rainy out and I wasn't feeling up to BodyPump. Tomorrow I'm planning on doing my 5k training and either weight circuit or free weights and Saturday more cardio and a BodyPump class before my mom gets in town.

Alright. I'm back in business! I did my 3.25 mile run with Dog this morning. I was slower than usual and stopped to walk more than I ordinarily do, but I forgive myself because I'm still a bit stuffy and congested. 309 cals.

1.5 with the "personal trainers" a slow one as they sniffed the morning paper....then 3.5 treadmill miles after work today. Gives me a "cushion" for going out to dinner for date night!

Angie and I did our Saturday morning Starbucks walk with the girls. We even had to take a little side trip to the bank for some cash. It is a beautiful morning...so nice to be able to have the opportunity to do things like this....thank you God...thank you TROOPS!

Angie ran the girls for 3 miles this morning while I walked 3 miles on the treadmill, watching a Randy Travis Bio.

30 minutes - Strength Training

3 mile run with the dog.

I haven't been on in awhile but happy to report that I have been doing my daily exercise and its still paying off. Todays routine is completed.

20 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 2 Workout 1

Yesterday I did a 1.5 walk with the mutts then 3.75 on the treadmill. Too much smoke here today, from the fires, for dog walking but I was able to do 3.25 on the treadmill.

10 min warm up run (100 cals)
FBWO (265 cals)

I've been sick and haven't done my weights in nearly 2 weeks. My body is going to punish me today. I can already feel my muscles seizing up in protest. :)

47 minutes - The Bollywood Dance Workout

Tried out this workout dvd since I'm getting bored with my usual workout routine. It was fun! I might do it again later this week before I return it to Netflix.

my exercise for this morning is complete.

Got up at 5am for my 6:45 spin class and completed it. Couldn't manage weights after, but did some ab work. Weights are tomorrow with cardio

Still way too much smoke for walking the dogs....did jump on the treadmill for 4.5 miles though.

20 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 2 Workout 2

I took my dog for a short 2 mile run today. My cold has moved south from my nose to my lungs, so running is hard. I'll be breathing very heavily (and coughing in an unpleasant way) without my heart rate being particularly accelerated. It's not that fun and I feel disappointed in myself. Still, I guess 2 miles is better than no miles.

10 min warm-up run (100)
FBWO (250)

25 minutes - Treadmill (2.32 miles)

still too much smoke to take the dogs on walks. We did do a short one night before last....just a "poo" walk.

I have 7.5 treadmill miles in the last 2 days and have exceeded my 100 mile goal for the month. Trying to do a 5K every day.

50 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 2 Workout 3 (4.51 miles)

Took the mutts on a 2 miler while the smoke was down...then I added 2.5 on the treadmill before yard work and ash clean up.

3.25 mile run with the dog. 294 cals.

I did 3.25 on the treadmill right after an early day at work....some chores...then took the mutts 3 miles.

25 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 3 Workout 1 (2.28 miles)

I went to the gym late this afternoon rather than this morning. There were annoying gaggles of young men in the free weight section getting in the way of MY squat rack and favorite weights. I don't know that I'll go at that time again. I'm not at all intimidated by all the men, but it is annoying trying to superset with so many people around.

ANYWAY, 10 min warm up run on the treadmill + FBWO for a total of 367 cals.

40 minutes today:
WATP 2 miles
10 minutes abs on the Ball.
