Alternachicks - Yay! I exercised today!

Saturday
walked the plant
25 min of Pilates

Miss Chris

Today, I walked really fast on the treadmill for 10 minutes and then lightly jogged for 20 minutes. My goal is to lightly jog for 30 minutes. That will probably be one of the proudest moments of my life because I have NEVER jogged that long. For me, 20 minutes is a miracle.

I also did a great job of stretching my muscles.

Love your avatar Moe!

Yip yip, Mauvais!!

Got DH to drop me at the Y this morning. I only burned 400 calories. But geez, what a walk back. Thank god I had my umbrella with me.
You know, I've decided that at my age (reasonably young), it's far better to just let yourself fall than to catch yourself from slipping. I'm not likely to break anything at my age, but I've pulled something in my back from jerking myself upright.

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

I walked yesterday for about 13 minutes. It was so chilly I was out in gloves, hat and scarf...but I went out there! I would have gone longer but the sun was setting. My heart was pounding and I was sweating when I got home!

Just got my exercise chasing Miss Lucy through the woods in the deep snow! She dashed out the door when Harry was bringing in wood and took off. Actually it was fun because Hershey and the three kids from up the hill joined in! Somehow I think she does not want to go to Show Handling class this afternoon! Neither do I but we will go because this morning's blizzard has disappeared! Anyhow we need to keep those snobs in line!

Good going, Ruthie!! :cb:
You had a blizzard?!

Made it to the gym again tonight for 30 minutes of laps around the pool -then it was hot tub time :D

I will NOT be exercising this week as I am as sick as a ... cat? I'm using all my energy on breathing.

I hope you are feeling better Ellis.

Does 5 minutes of shovelling snow count? It is 13F/-11C with wind chill -5F/-21C out there. :p

Hope you are feeling better Ellis!

Squeak- I think the shovelling of snow should count for something:) BTW it is freakin freezing here too!:p

I made it to the gym again today and I managed to swim 2 extra laps :cb:

Hey Mauvais ,
Way to go! You will soon be swimming the English channel! Seriously, you are doing really well. Keep it up,girl!
Virginia

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

Miss Chris

I can now leg press 270 lbs. Want to work up to 300 lbs by the end of next month. Doing a little more cardio now. have been going to friends gym with her for this week, and they have a peice of equipment for the abs, which allows you to fold yourself up, and you can use weights or not, the first day I did without and the next I used 10 lbs. It really works the abs, but feels great too. I have not been doing enough ab work I don think, so I am going to do some ab work everyday, and on lower body day I will really give them a going over.

Thursday Feb 13

55 min at the gym
30 min cardio
25 min legs and abs

Mauvais, you're going to England!? (uh, yeah... good exercising by the way, girls) You lucky thing, you!! With your parents?

I am going to London for a week with DH :) to work at a gaming convention. I'm really looking forward to it :D

Does doing housework vigourously to stay warm count as exercising? :lol:

I can't believe it!! Another gaming convention!? In London?! no way!!
:cb: :dance:
