Exercise! - All Air Walkers/Gliders/Ellipticals/Treadmills/Regular Walkers #30

Good Morning Everyone!

It's Friday and the start of a new thread. I'm sorry I haven't been around much but I'm learning a new job while still doing my old job too so it's been hectic for me! I'm glad you all have been posting and keeping this thread rolling. Thanks so much:D!

Judy-A big congrats on that weight loss:)! You must be so happy! You are doing an awesome job!

Debbie-I feel so fat this week. TOM is trying to come but of course my eating hasn't been the best:mad:! Too many sweets. One of my downfalls around TOM time! I'm sure if I weighed myself I would have put on about 5 pounds of water. You are doing a great job with the exercise. Keep it up you are very motivating:)!

Nona-I have Tae Bo too! Do you do the 8 minute workouts or are you doing the longer ones? The 8 minute ones really wear me out. They actually break down to more like 16 minutes but they are a good workout. Maybe I should do a few of those during the week just to wake things up a bit. I'm sure your weight gain is just from salt. It has a way of doing that. Hang in there.:)

I actually managed 20 minutes on my Orbitrek last night. It felt pretty good. I'm going to shoot for 25 next week. I'll let you know how it goes. I hope you all have a great Friday and can check in on the weekend. I'll try to make it in here too:)! Keep moving everybody!

This is to anyone who has bought walk away the pounds by leslie sansone:

did you get the basic package for 39.95 or the deluxe package for 59.90 with the extra tapes
10 minute tone up,power mile and 30 minute walk along the the regular walk away the pounds
tapes. Please let me know how you like them

this is to any one who has this tape where did you order it at?

thanks

Happy Monday... Almost:D

Hi Rose - I enjoy Tae-Bo, too. When I do it that is. LOL It is definately warming up here and I will have to bring my exercise indoors soon - I will do the tae-bo and/or kathy smith tapes to start. Glad to hear you did your orbitrek - keep up the good work!

I didn't get any exercise in this weekend. Too busy w/birthday parties and other family obligations. Tomorrow I will be walking while my son is in kindergarten class though.

Have a good day & hope to hear from you all soon....

Hi everyone,

well i have done the 1 mile walk and i will walk more later.

DOes anyone have leslie
sansones 3 mile power walk ? I have some questions about that tape--- where did you buy
at? and they are with the weighted gloves how much weight is in them.

thanks

Morning All:)

ww gal - I have heard a lot of good things about her tapes. I understand there is an infomercial about it all?? Hope you find the info you need. Maybe you should start a new thread to get peoples attention so you can find out some info. - just a thought:) If you do, I'll be sure to check it out, too!

Just got back from my walk and am heading for the shower. Supposed to be 100degrees today & it's already getting warm. It's only 9:15am!! Sheesh;)

Have a good one! Nona

Good Morning everyone!

Well I'm sad to say that I did no exercise this weekend:(
I was so tired and TOM was really bad this weekend. I need to get back on track so hopefully tonight I'll spend some time doing my thigh/arms workout and then some time on the Orbitrek. I'm just so tired today. I need to take my vitamins I guess. Sorry for not posting over the weekend but my head was hurting and I felt icky.

Nona-Maybe I should do one of the Tae Bo's 8 minute workouts tonight. That might help get me started:)! Thanks for keeping the thread moving over the weekend. I know how it is when the family obligations get in the way! Way to work in some exercise:)!

wwgal-I just saw Leslie on QVC this morning with the weighted gloves. You might look on there to see if you can purchase the whole thing:). QVC really has some good deals. Also www.collagevideos.com has some good prices too. It's worth a try. You are doing great with the walking by the way. Keep it up.

Okay what happened to everyone else? Busy exercising I bet:wink:! Okay I need to get back to work I just wanted to say hi to everyone!

:wave:
Hi everyone...
I walked 8.5 miles on the beach on Saturday, so I got lazy yesterday and didn't do anything! :lol: It was raining a little here this morning (finally) so I went to the gym. My days are getting numbered for my beach walks!! We leave to go home on Thursday. Rose ~ sometimes you just need a day off to catch up on other things....I don't have to deal with TOM anymore, but I remember how it used to make me feel...not so good..:lol: It is so wonderful not having that anymore...of course, getting old comes with it too! :rolleyes: Those tapes sounds interesting but I would rather walk outside...I just bought a couple of Yoga tapes at Best Buy...I am thinking about trying it....need to limber up the old body..:lol: Keep up the good work everyone...

Hi Everyone!

I'm still here, just not feeling my best today. I had the rest of my dental work done & my mouth was a mess after the anesthesia. I am trying to get to my min points today. Trying to eat smushy stuff. I have been keeping up with my walking. On Saturday we went shopping & then when I got home I did my 2mile tape & ended up with 8.5miles for the day. Yesterday I didn't do my tapes but I still got in 5 miles. Today I only have 2 miles. I may do my 3 mile power walk tape today. I just got my weighted gloves today & I'm looking forward to trying them out with the tape.

Hope everyone is having a great day :)

deb 2593-

where did you order your weighted gloves from?

one more question about the weighted gloves-- what weight are you using 1 lb or 2 lb

thanks

Rose, thanks for motivating me! I am planning on dusting off my tae-bo tapes tomorrow a.m. I will pick one to do while my youngest is in class tomorrow morning. Lets motivate each other to get started on our tae-bo again:D

Hope your all having a good nite - see you tomorrow!
Nona:)

wwgal-- I ordered the gloves from Leslie's site http://www.walkaerobics.com . I bought the 1 lb gloves. I figured I would get some resistance without hurting my wrist (I have carpal tunnel). I did notice the last time I was on her site that she didn't have the 2 lbs gloves listed. I don't know if she is carrying them anymore. The 1 lb gloves came out to $23.90 with shipping.

Hope this helps :)

Hi Deb - I just clicked on your link for the weights. I did see both the 1 & 2 lb weights available on the site. Thought I'd let you know.... Be sure to let us know how you like the hand-weights. I think I'll try to find some at the local sport store to avoid the handling charges.

Lighter ~~~ Nona :)

FYI: I just logged onto www.qvc.com and checked out leslie sansone merchandise using their "search" button. They have the weighted gloves w/3videos and 1 audio cassette for about $36/$37.00 (sorry, can't remember the exact price... it's getting late, LOL!). Thought I'd pass this info on...

Nona:)

Hi Nona-- Thanks for checking. You know what's odd? You do see the 2 lb weighted gloves listed as far as price goes. When you go to the ordering page, the 2 lb weighted gloves are not there just the 1 lb gloves are. She does have 2 lb ankle/hand weights but I like the gloves because they have holes to keep the weights secure. She sends a list in the package that lists all her products & she doesn't have the 2 lbs weighted gloves on there. I wonder why she stopped selling them?? HMMMM....Oh well...

I have to run take my son to the bus stop. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Good Morning Everybody!

It was so nice to log in here and see so many posts:D! Thanks for being so motivating everybody.

Nona-You motivate me too:)! I did do Tae Bo last night. I did the 8 minute Live tape and it helped me feel better. I sure didn't want to do it but I'm glad I did. How did you do? I hope you found some time. Yes let's keep motivating each other. I'll do another tape tonight:).

Debbie-I hope you feel better:)! I hate the dentist. That's one of my biggest fears. You are doing great even when you aren't feeling well you are doing more exercise then I am. Keep up the great work and feel better soon!

wwgal-I have one pound weighted gloves that work fine for me. It's amazing how that little bit of weight makes a difference:). I think QVC has some great prices. I've ordered from them allot and have never been disappointed. You're doing great by the way.

Judy-Great job on the walking:)! Thanks for understanding about TOM! I'm feeling much better now and I think I'll be able to get back to working out more regularly. Thanks for being so supportive:)!

I know I've missed some of you and I appologize. I really need to get to work but hopefully I'll be able to check in later. Have a great day everybody:wave:!

Ha!! I went for my 2 mile walk and did the 8 minute tae-bo tape right after.... man, am I drinking the water - LOL! I have never done the 8 minute tape, just the instructional and basic. I really like it, but need to work on keeping up! I will be walking a shorter distance tonite to get to my sons T-Ball game (the rest of the family drives w/the equipment).

Rose, congrats on doing the tae-bo last night!! Keep it up, and I will too!!

Deb, sorry to hear they don't have the 2lb weighted gloves for you. On the QVC site the gloves that came w/the tapes and audio were, I think, 1lb's also. Maybe you could check out the local sport store? Good luck!!

I will check in again later to chat w/all of you then. I'm heading for the shower! lol!

Lighter~~~ Nona;)

Rats, didn't get my 2nd walk in today. DH hurt his back, so I had to drive the boys to T-Ball tonite. Hope DH feels better by Thursday's game!

The thread sure is quiet tonite.... where is everyone?

Talk to you Lighter! Nona

:wave: Hi everyone
I did water aerobics yesterday and then went for a 6 mile walk on the beach...whew! :D: Today is my last day in the Sunshine State so I must take advantage of every minute today :) I am doing water aerobics this morn and then will walk later....It is a beautiful day here in Florida today so maybe I can catch some sun too! At least the weather forcast cast is good for home tomorrow and the rest of the week so maybe I can continue on. I won't be able to go to my WW meeting this week because we will be going to the airport. My meeting day will change to Tuesday when I get home so I get a few extra days this week :lol: Have a great day everyone.

Judy ~ Have a safe trip! Check in when you get settled again:D

Nona:)

anyone who is looking for 2lb weighted gloves i found them at www. power systems for around 14.00

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the late post today. I've been so busy. I might not be able to post tomorrow because I have to learn my new job and a new program so I will be very busy:(! If I can, I'll post in the evenings. Oh and then last night I got a rent increase again after only 8 months. Talk about depressing. But I decided the best thing to do was some exercise so I did my thigh and arm workouts and I felt better:)!

Judy-I hope you have a safe trip. We'll miss your smiling posts while you are gone:(! Please check in as soon as you can! Did you say Indiana? Forgive me if I'm wrong:^:. Good job on the exercise. I hope the weather cooperates in your other home.

Nona-I hope your DH is okay. I hate back pain:mad:! It sounds like you have an active life! I know the busy feeling. My son is in football and track so my evenings are busy too. You've been doing a good job with the exercise by the way. I'm going to try to fit some Tae Bo in tonight. I can't believe you did Tae Bo after your 2 mile walk! That's great! I'll try to keep you company while Judy is gone:)!

wwgal-Thanks for the info on the gloves. I'm interested in those I'll check out the site:)! Keep walking.

Debbie-How is it going? I hope you are feeling better:)! Check in when you can.

Okay I need to get back to work. I'll try to post tomorow sometime. Thanks for being here everybody! Have a good evening:wave:!

I'm here :wave:

I just finished doing my 3 mile walk tape. Whew! I start breaking a real sweat within the first 1/2 mile- 1mile. It's a good workout. I have been trying to alternate everyday between the 3 mile & 2 mile tapes. Tomorrow I may take a break or maybe I will just do the 2 mile one. I feel bad when I don't do one of the tapes. That is a miracle because I really detest doing any exercise. I feel so good afterwards :)

I hope you are all doing good.. Keep up the great work!!!

Judy--have a safe trip & check in when you get home...

Nona-- good luck with weigh in tomorrow.... Hopefully we will both show a loss :)

Rose-- Good for you for doing your exercise instead of getting upset & reaching for food. That is wonderful!!!

wwgal-- I tried www.powersystems.com & it doesn't seem like the right site. Do you have the exact url?? Thanks :)

I'll post my weigh in tomorrow morning.

Have a good one! :wave:

Sorry i didn;t include the web address for the weighted gloves it is

www.power-systems.com

:wave: Hi everyone!
I am back in Indiana now....it only takes 2 hours by plane...isn't air travel great? I walked 8 miles yesterday on the beach, but the only exercise I had time for today was walking through the airports...and the grocery store when we got home....Later all

Hi guys!

Long time no see!

Well, if you've got room I'd love to rejoin you to get some exercise motivation and buddies - feeling a little lonely over here in Aussie!

To report:

Haven't lost any weight, but determined to do well over the next few weeks, cos I've got a wedding to prepare!!! :D

So I need a real push and support to make sure I do my exercise every day.

I can't stop and catch up now, but would love to hear how you're all doing!

Cheers
Lynne :wave:

Hi everyone!

I'm so sorry for being gone so long:(! I've been so busy at work and I don't have much time to post now but I wanted to say hi and let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about this thread and all of your support. I'll try to post more tonight while I'm at home.

Lynne-I'm so glad you are back:)! I hope you will be able to post more often. I've missed you on here.

Okay I have to run for now. I hope to have more time later. Thanks for hanging in here everybody:wave:!

Hi all!

Rose it's great to be back. I totally slacked off in determination for ages, and kept getting side tracked by stuff, but need to focus ON ME and FEELING BETTER or I'm going to go nuts! :dizzy:

Speaking of which, did not get my walk in :mad: but will do an extra long one today. As usual, too many other "important" things come up, like feeding the family, doing dishes and washing.. you know, LIFE THREATENING IMPORTANT CAN'T WAIT kinda stuff! :rolleyes:

I can't talk long, as I'm at work as usual, but glad to have some people to help me going.

Talk to you soon!
Lynne :wave:

I WENT FOR A WAAAAAAALLLLLKKKKK!!!!!!
I WENT FOR A WAAAAAAALLLLLKKKKK!!!!!!
I WENT FOR A WAAAAAAALLLLLKKKKK!!!!!!
I WENT FOR A WAAAAAAALLLLLKKKKK!!!!!!
I WENT FOR A WAAAAAAALLLLLKKKKK!!!!!!

Just a little bit excited! hee hee :D

It felt so good, and it drives me nuts when I can't do it every day!

How's everyone else going?

I did 3.5 kilometers last night, which equates to just over 2 miles, in 30 minutes. I love powering along the footpath. It's amazing how much you get sorted out in your head too.

I read in this program that I'm doing this week that as long as you do 30 minutes each day, it doesn't have to be in one block. So 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there, it all counts. The advantage to doing it all in one is that the metabolism kicks in better, because of increased and maintained heart rate. But it ALL counts!

Well, because I won't get to do my walk today, I am promising myself to do the aerobic video, so I will say that to you guys so that I make sure I do it!!!!!

I've also decided that on Wed's after my WW meetings I'm going to go swimming! So it's all starting to happen! :D

Have a great day!

Lynne :wave:

Hi everyone:wave:!

I just had to pop in and see how you all are doing:)!

Judy-I'm glad you made it safely and are back with us:)! Great job on the 8 mile walk and I think grocery shopping counts as walking too. I should be getting my pedometer soon so I can keep track of my steps. I think pedometers are great. I've also decided to park a little further from work so I can get a few more steps in. It's great to have you back Judy.

Lynne-Good job getting that walking in:)! I've been doing the Spark program which is based on what you were describing about short bits of exercise here and there throughout the day. I think whenever you can fit some exercise time in, then go for it:)! Every little bit helps. It's great to have you back.

wwgal-Thanks for the website. My son uses my 1lb weighted gloves when he runs and he wants to get the 2lb ones so this will come in handy. Thanks again:).

Nona-How did the weigh in go? Check in when you can:)

Debbie-You are doing so great with the walking:)! You deserve a break but I know what you mean about feeling guilty when you don't workout. I actually feel the same way when I skip my workouts. I hope all is well and you won't have to go back to the dentist anytime soon. Keep up the great walking:)!

Okay for those of you that I've missed I'm sorry. I will try to be back later today. Take care and keep moving everyone:)!
