Get Your Body Movin' (Nov 7 - Nov 13)

  • Thought I'd get this started!

    I walked VERY briskly today for 30 minutes (there was a bear sighting and I had to walk to the mall... so it was a semi run... ). I also cleaned and listened to music and danced.. I really shook THIS body today!

    Let's get it started for the week!

  • Think I'll join in this week. Today I did WATP 3mile (45 minutes) this morning. I also listened to music and danced (strangely enough in the kitchen while cooking) but every little bit helps right?

  • Wow, this is going to look pathetic compared to you ladies...but it is a start, right?

    I haven't been on my treadmill since August...and I've also been in a very big slump lately..like many others.
    I finally managed to get my lazy butt on my machine and am VERY proud of myself.
    I'm sitting here, covered in sweat...with hope.

    26 minutes treadmill 4-5% incline =1.1 miles

  • Well, I actually jogged today. I can't remember the last time I did that. Hhmm, could it be the time I had to run a mile for a PE credit and ended up in a thigh-high leg cast for 6 weeks? My trainer uses something called METs to measure cardio fitness, and I'm trying to work up to 35-60 min. of cardio at my MET level and appropriate heart rate. I've been ignoring that until today so I got on the treadmill and was able to jog 2 min. at my MET level, then walk 2 min. for 30 min. Talking about dripping sweat!

  • I did pretty good this week.
    7th - - 45 min WATP 3mile
    8th - - 45 min WATP 3mile; 1 mile walk
    9th - - 45 min WATP 3mile; 1 mile walk
    10th - - 23 min WATP (half of video); 1 mile walk
    11th - - it is likely I won't do anything. My DF and I are celebrating our 1 year anniversary (which is actually today) since we both have the day off and I may not do my morning exercise or stay OP with food. That's okay with me though. I just want to enjoy my day.

    Linda - anything is a good effort so feel proud of yourself!
