Exercise! - Exercise Accountability - Nov 2007

Wow, it's November already! :turkey:

Have fun exercising, losing weight & maintaining. You are ALL beautiful! :hug:


To everyone celebrating this month! :happ3:

Does 2 hour grocery shopping, climbing up and down steps and putting them away count as exercise? Cuz I worked up and sweat and now I am pooped, not to mention my wallet is a lot lighter. lol :D

Well I sure started off this month with a negative BANG! But it was so yummy!! :) Not to get down off to the gym soon! For at least 30 mins of cardio

45 mins of turbo jam and two 20 minute walks with my dog!

LOL yes Diva, it does count as exercise! I live on a second floor apartment myself and when I take the bags out of my car it's a work out to say the least. When I first moved into this apartment the first month or so I was soo sore. I've definitely toned up some. I just ordered some videos from beachbody and I ordered Slim in 6 and their Hip Hop Abs dance series :carrot: and I already have the Turbo Jam videos and some of the yoga booty ballet videos as well. So I am reaffirming my commitment this month to exercising starting in the morning. It's 11pm at night now and if I worked out now the people below us for sure would hear me lol.

Thursday - 1 hour gym

Friday - 1 hour swimming.

Where is everybody????

Today I did:

WATP 2 miles
5 minutes abs
10 minutes or so on Arms and chest

This does seem to be a much quieter thread than usual

Today - 1 hour gym - circuit and 15 minutes each on the bike and the arc trainer (or the devil machine as I think it should be known).

subbing since I seem to have lost my motivation to push play and I need to be accountable somewhere

10 min warmup run (100)
FBWO (224)

Swimming one hour.

47 minutes - Bollywood Dance Workout
15 minutes - Arms Workout

Could someone direct me to the November Monthly Challenge? I thought this month I would join it and I can't find the thread today.
My commitment for each day this coming month is 60 minutes of exercise/activity.

November 1: 70 minutes(Treadmill 30 minutes, light housework)
November 2:65 minutes(Lower and upper body weights, Treadmill)
November 3:180 minutes (painted in kitchen, fall housecleaning)

WATP 2 Miles
10 minute abs on the ball.

May I come in and play?

I gave myself the challenge of doing one of my videos every day this month. Since boobalah is now joining me, I have had to go back to the 1 & 2 mile WATP. However, he tore something in his calf Saturday morning and had to drop out. I think he'll be able to rejoin me by Wednesday.

Today I did the WAT Waist with the belt.

I did the complete 5 mile workout with the belt, stretchie and weights yesterday.

We helped my DD move on Saturday. Poor boobalah was wearing an ace bandage but he did it. He did have to take some Advil in the afternoon.

30 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 4 Workout 1
30 minutes - Arms Workout

We did the Fast Firm workout with the stretchie. It's a good firming workout.

Yesterday was supposed to be a gym workout, but when I got there, I wasn't that focussed, so gave it 20 minutes and gave up. Went for half an hour walk after dinner, so that still counts!

47 minutes WATP 3 miles
20 minutes or so of it she uses weights and does upper body work.:D

10 min warm-up run (100 cals)
FBWO - heavy day (392 cals)

40 minutes - Treadmill (3.31 miles)

30 minutes eliptical....

45 minutes walking.

Great walk today 4.5 miles.

Had some cramping during my run today so I cut it short. Hound and I ran 2 miles (195 cals).

We did the Fat Burner Walk with weights this morning. Well, boobalah used the weights. We have to get my ankle weights out of the scuba kit so I can hold those.

I finally got myself going! 30/600 min.

30 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 4 Workout 2 (2.62 miles)
15 minutes - Abs Workout

One hour gym - 15 bike, 15 cross trainer, 30 circuit

We did the 3 mile express WATP this morning. 45 minutes

15 mins stationary bike
FBWO

45 minutes swimming. I gave up out of sheer frustration after the lap pool was invaded by kids.

Lemme ask you all a question...

First of all, Where is Ez Money? Has anyone seen him?

And 2. Which do y'all think is better and would burn more calories? A stationary bike or a gazelle? I want them both for Christmas, but at tis time I have to choose.

I think Gary posted in the maintainers thread that he's out of town for a few days.

Is a gazelle like an elliptical runner? If so, it is likely to burn a few more calories than the stationary bike. Because you use the bike sitting sitting down, I've noticed that you have to work much, much harder to get your heart rate up than you do on a treadmill or elliptical. Nevertheless, whichever you like better and will use more will burn more calories in the long run. :)

This is the Gazelle:

I've had one before but had to sell it. I really did like it alot. it worked a lot of muscles all over my body even in places I didn't know I had them LOL!

But I was hoping a stationary bike would halp me build up my theigh muscle endurance because 15 minutes of riding my Mountain Bike outside and my legs are burning so bad I have to stop and that's just a bummer, so I dunno....

Maybe I'll get the gazelle for Xmass and go get a staionary Bike sometime after Christmas.

Glad to hear gary is ok. Seems weird in this thread without him. :)

We did the 30 minute WATP Abs this morning.

1 hour gym yesterday - forgot to post.

Walked 2 miles today. :)

3.3 and I might add it was a bit chilly!

1 hour gym - circuit and cardio on the bike and arc trainer.

Slacking off due to work and church time...but we were still able to get 7 miles in with the dogs, on 2 walks to Starbucks, Saturday and today.

Just got back from my 5k with the hound.

Good to see you EZ :D

WATP 2 miles today. my shoulder is hurting me for some reason.

I got to work out by myself for the past few days. Poor boobalah has the creeping crud and can't work out. I did a 45 minute Fat Burner workout on Saturday. Sunday was one of the WATP Shortcut for upper body. That one uses weights. It's 30 minutes of some nice upper body workout. Today I did the WAT Waist with the belt.

Good job getting moving everyone!

I did 5.7 yesterday, little miss has crashed today, but a short walk is on our list for today, i just wish the sun was out!

I have a Thanksgiving 5K and it is tough getting my miles in to stay in shape for it...not a big deal I am walking it but..heck, the last three months I think I averaged about 140 miles a month!! Oh well...work is keeping my calories burning now!

Keep up the great work GALS!

Angie took the dogs for a couple of miles before I got home...so I went and got a haircut!

I reckon I got some exercise in, I dl'ed The Prince "Purple Rain" record and that got up and excited and then from there for about an hour or so i danced my butt off in the livingroom to all my old 80's & 90's dance music, lol! it was fun and I worked up a sweat. :D

Great job DIVA! did you wear your raspberry beret?....wink

Angie and I did 3.5 with the dogs down to Starbucks this morning. 5K on Thursday....gotta keep going...
