I got up and did the 1mile easy walk. I was afraid after soooo many months I wouldn't be able to, but did better than expected. Maybe 2miles tomorrow.


Oh yeah! Debelli, when do you sleep?

Monday: 3.25 miles elliptical trainer(approx 50 mins)
Strength training circuit and 7 off-circuit machines

Holy moly, do I feel lazy now!

Monday- I ended up doing my "own" workout. I did 45 minutes cardio(mixed walking aerobics in with the step), 5 minutes cool down, and 10 minutes or so with my 8 pound weights, then 5 minutes situps.

Donna- don't feel lazy! You have to build your endurance over time. You can't just do 3 miles after being sedentary for awhile. You'll make yourself so sore you won't ever do it again,lol. Start at the 1 mile and build your way up to the 2 mile. Keep it there until you feel comfortable enough to add more. It takes time to build endurance. When I first started exercising, I did the 1 mile for a few days then I went to the 2 mile tape and stayed there for a couple of months before I attempted doing the 3rd mile tape. Then for several months after that, I would alternate between the 2 tapes. The 2nd mile is a very good workout. I just found out that there is a 4 mile tape, so I got it a couple weeks ago. I alternate with it also. Some days I do the 3 mile, other days I do my "own" workout, and then sometimes the 4 mile tape. I like having the variety so that you don't get bored with it and your muscles don't get too used to it either.

Thanks for the encouragie words Laurie. I think I'll take your advise. It makes perfect sense. If I push to hard I probably will get sore and skip days and that's all it takes to break a good habit


why is it so hard to start a good habit and so easy to break it. :devil:

Awesome weather outside so I called my old friend Lawana and was able to get in 4 miles.

Donna...WTG on doing the tape. Like Laurie said it takes time to build up staminia. And as Leslie says on one of my tapes...you got off that couch.. :) AWESOME!

Laurie...you go exercise woman!!!!!! Maybe if I could get as motivated as you as these Christmas pounds would start to come off.

Everybody who's up and moving keep up the good work.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Donna when I started WATP I did 1 mile every day (except weekends) for about 2 weeks. Then I moved up to the 2 mile and I've been doing that for a couple weeks now.
It's not how far you go, its how constant you are! If you start dreading your walk you won't do it.

Monday WATP 2 mile

Tuesday
WATP 2 mile

Monday-- 10 minutes stretches, 35 minutes lower body, TBT.

Tuesday-- 10 minutes stretches, 35 minutes upper body, TBT.

Colleen- does TBT stand for total body training?

Tuesday- exercise class. step workout and some weights and abs, leg lifts. Class was an hour long from start to finish. I normally do my workout in the morning on the day I go to class, so that I get 2 workouts for that day. I didn't have time today.

Got in a two mile walk. Just beautiful outside this week. I killed the treadmill... :)

Back into the swing of things....and it feels gooooood!

Gym: 5 minutes eliptical, upper body workout, 30 minutes treadmill.

I haven't worked out in a full week, and I could feel it; I felt weaker than normal.

I hope to get in 2-3 more days this week.

Nat

1 mile WATP w/ weights and a few ab crunches....6 days of exercise in a row...whew!!

Wednesday-- 10 minutes stretches, 39 minutes lower body TBT.

Laurie, I work out on a machine called the Total Body Trainer, it is by "Body By Jake". Awesome machine!! It is strength resistance training.

Wednesday- 4 mile WATP tape.

Tues: bowled a quick 2 games
Wed: 4 miles treadmill

2 mile walk outside.

Love,
Crystle

Wednesday WATP 2 mile

1 mile WATP...gonna take me about a week to get to the 2 mile

Thurs: walked in the woods for a couple of hours, not sure how many miles, but back was all uphill and I worked up a good sweat.

Thursday- I did 30 minutes of my "own" workout. I bought a tape at Big Lots for 50 cents, I put it on and the moves were too many variations per move and the girls in it were wearing thongs! So that will go in my yard sale pile I'm accumulating. Right now I'm getting ready for exercise class. I'm sure it will be the usual(warmup, step aerobics, some arm and chest moves with weights, and leg and abs on the floor).

Thursday-- 10 minutes stretches, 31 minutes upper body, TBT.

Lawana called and we went for a 3 mile walk. We walked at a pretty good clip. It was so beautiful outside.

Love,
Crystle

Thursday: Gym - 5 minutes eliptical, lower body workout, 30 minutes treadmill.

Ab scissor routine - 2 minutes work, 2 minutes rest.

I hope to get to the gym today and tomorrow as well.

Take care,
Nat

Friday-- 10 minutes stretches, 36 minutes lower body, TBT.

Gym - 5 minutes eliptical, upper body workout, 30 minutes treadmill.

I will go again tomorrow a.m., and that will make 4 days this week.

Day 5 of the walking. Lawana and I put in 3 miles. The last half mile was in less than 6 minutes...no way would we walk faster other than run. It was GREAT! It sure is good having my walking buddy back.

Love,
Crystle

Thursday WATP 2 mile
