Butt Movers #7
 

nothing for me yet today.... but I'm getting to it :D

it's a start
 

I walked for 20 minutes, which I know is not much. It's much better than what I have been doing for months-which is NOTHING!

Hopefully I can get myself to walk or ride the exercise bike for twenty minutes a day and work up to doing more gradually. I absolutely hate to exercise (bad memories of being a klutz in gym class)

Has anyone tried the Leslie Sansone walkfit tapes? Mine are gathering dust-I am going to start them soon, though.

Take care,
Sherry

I did much better today then i have in a while

ran for 2 miles and then did 50 side crunches for each side and then 100 crunches for the middle then this afternon i rode bike with my son for a few miles

suzie that is a great start i could do less when i started!!!

I rollerbladed for 2 hours tonight

I did my step tape for 30 minutes yesterday.

Sherry - 20 minutes is awesome. Just do 20 minutes a day and you'll be amazed at the results!!

exercise for 4/16
 

Good afternoon everyone-

Thanks for the encouragement. You are all such nice people!

I did ten minutes on the exercise bike this morning. I hope to do ten more minutes after my son goes to bed. It's too hot and humid today for walking.

Take care,
sherry

Walked Sunday and yesterday. I tried a tiny bit of running but my knee would not hold up without pain. so I've decided just to give up the running program idea for a little while. I think once I get some more weight off there will be less force on my knees and then I"ll be able to run.

suzie - think of it this way, if you weren't on your exercise bike what would you be doing for those 10 minutes? Sitting on the couch, talking on the phone, watching tv, washing the dishes, I don't know I'm just throwing these out. 10 minutes on the bike will burn more calories than any of those plus you will still burn more calories for awhile afterwards because you have boosted your metabolism a bit. Hey it's not going to stay boosted but it is better than nothing. Also you have to start small. Like me with this running thing, it isn't working and I am still having a bit of knee pain but I haven't quit exercising I'm just doing something else. Gradually I'll work my way back to running when the time is right.

HHHMMM i had a different work out today walked for 5 on the treadmill then jumped on the elliptical for 15 then did lower body very hard then ran for 1/2 mile then did the elliptical for 1/2 mile almost 7 min so i was very varied today.

I forgot i did a bunch of crunches today too. :D

well so far today, I got in my workout with hubby, plus 40 regular crunches, and 20 three point crunches.... a few squats, and some stretching... I WAS planning on taking advantage of the nice weather, and going out to jump rope for cardio, but wouldn't you know it snowed??? so I'll have to come up with something else...

Well, just got back from a 40 minute or so hilly power walk, getting ready to do the nighttime torture--- I mean training exercises...

I've been movin my butt alot this week so far, and it feels wonderful.

Monday: walked 5 miles (hot!)
hand weights
crunches

Tuesday: same as Monday

Monday - 2 hr. rollerblading
Tuesday - Nothing (Dr. Appt for Toes)
Wednesday - Nothing (not allowed to go to gym) But I plan on doing my crunches and shoulder exercises when I get home.

Well all I did yesterday was a brief 14 min walk. But at least I moved!!

Hope to do more tonight!!

Nothing for me yesterday, I was SOOOOO sore...lol... oy the pain... felling a little better today, maybe go out and jump some rope if it warms up just a tad...
if not, I'll find something indoors to do :D

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Sue. Know this time during the move will be tricky... it's so easy to slide off during upheaval... gotta hang in there cause I don't want to lose any leverage.

Did work on the garage yesterday for hours, that ought to be good for something. Will be doing my power walk today (1/2 hour).

Go for it ladies!
