Well, on March 1st, I did 25 minutes of my "Crunch: Cardio Dance Blast" dvd, and 5 minutes of weights/crunches, for a total of 30 mins exercise.
Today, I only did 10 mins of cardio, as my legs are VERY sore for the first time since I started working out, so I just kept it low impact, and am hoping for them to be better, as I'm literally ITCHING to work out! Crazy! lol

So 40 minutes for the month for me so far....only 660 left to meet my goal!

I decided to be ambitious and set my March goal at 1000 minutes. I did an hour of DDR today, despite my annoying runny nose.

Oh I exercised yesterday! Ya know, I could hang around in front of the TV doing weights or floor exercises or the ball almost all evening. My problem just lately is cardio. Must work on that.

Hello Ladies!

Well, let's see, I was doing the treadmill pretty consistently last Fall but the impact was hurting my knee (i have arthritis and weighed 360 lbs then) so I've decided to tone it down on the treadmill and get my legs stronger by doing the recumbent bike while I continue to lose weight (16 lbs gone so far! yay me!).

Because I have to adjust for my knee and the weather here (the colder it gets, the more my knee hurts!) I will be modifiying my workouts. I will bike mostly, but also use the treadmill on warm days, and do the elliptical machine, go for walks, go dancing, etc. - whatever it takes to get my heartbeat up for 30 minutes at a time! (OK, horizontal activities with a partner don't count! LOL) My goal for March is 1000 minutes of aerobics.

My workouts so far:

3/1 - 0
3/2 - 38 minutes, 3.6 miles, recumbant bike
3/3 - 56 minutes, 5.5 miles, recumbant bike
3/4 - 0

On my way to work out today. Will keep you gals posted! :-)
