Weekly Exercise Logs - 10/26 thru 11/1
 

OK ladies... today starts a brand new week. We did well last week, let's do even better this week!!! :drill:

Jen - you are SUCH a trooper!!!! Do you realize what a fantastic thing you did by going out and running 3 miles?!?! You ROCK! :cp:

Li'l miss sunseeker... I think it is awesome that you do so many different types of exercise. Volleyball, kickboxing, machines, lifting... no wonder you are dropping pounds like crazy! :strong:

How are we all doing on our goals for the week? the month? long term? I know I have fallen a little behind with mine. In the past two weeks I have been out of town twice and have had two weddings. I have been really off in terms of my eating and activity, but this morning I got right back on track. How are all of you doing?

Good luck this week! Let's really get out there and rack up the activity minutes!

This morning I went for a nice brisk walk for about 20 minutes. After that I went to the gym and jogged for 5 minutes then did 30 minutes on the elliptical cross trainer.

55 minutes total... not bad! Now to clean the house! ;)

Yeah!!!! I like the idea of a weekly exercise log thanks Leslie!

Sunday

Sunday's activity
 

Today was a rainy day here....it would've been all too easy for my husband & I just to stay in & be cozy....BUT, we went to the gym! Yay us! And of course, we now feel better because of it.

I did:
30 min. walk on the treadmill (with incline intervals) at 4.4 mph
11.5 min. run on treadmill (1 mile) at 5.2 mph
5 min. cooldown walk

I challenged myself--after running 3 miles yesterday, to run ONE today was tough! But, all the sweating felt good, when I get down to it.

Jen :)

Monday routine
 

Today's workout:
35 min. elliptical
25 min. weights

I'm so sore today, especially in my left hip, from running! I did the 3 miles on Saturday and then yesterday did 1 mile (probably shouldn't have done that). Oops! I'm just so inspired to challenge myself through running these days.
I won't be attempting to run again until Thursday, and even at that, I'm going to see how the hip is feeling first.

Jen, I think you'll be just fine after a little recovery!!!

Great job sticking with a safe workout program today! Impressive!

I did 35 min. elliptical, 8 minutes jogging, 5 minutes abs today. It felt good!

OK. I'm starting slow, but at least I'm starting...

20 minutes of walking

That's a great start! Stick with that for a while and I'm guessing you'll start noticing a difference!

yesterday i did some walking in walmart altogether without stopping I would say it was 20 min walk

the day before I did 10 mins on the rider

Monday night I did 35min on the elliptical and 20min upper body weights.

Monday - 30 minute walk

Oops! How'd that happen?
 

This is so *amazing* to me, I just had to share. I was out for my walk tonight, and was planning on doing between 2 & 3 miles. I had decided *not* to run, because I've been sore from the weekend run, and wanted to rest. WELL, for some reason I ran a mile of it anyway!?!?! And, here's the kicker: BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT! I'm so blown away by that--I have never "felt" like running before.
So anyway, all that to say:
Today's exercise: 3 miles (2 walked, 1 run)

Jen :cool:

Wow, ladies! You all rock! It's so uplifting to see everyone getting activity into their daily routine! Makes me want to go out and do more!

Today I did 35 minutes of walking up and down hills.

Jen, that is awesome! I can see how you feel. I almost sort of felt like I wanted to jog with my dog today, but he really goes fast and I have a hard time keeping up ;)

Starting to work out again ...
 

Hi - I'm pretty new here, but I think this excercise log could be good for me. Sort of makes me feel like I have somewhere to check in to, where people are making sure I'm keeping up with it! :)

So, after a good September with Tae Bo, Afro-Carribean Aerobics and weight training a few times a week, I slacked off this month and am ready to start again....

Today:

35 minutes walk to school with a loaded backpack. (The buses were so full this morning that *two* went by our stop without stopping, so I said 'screw it, I'm walking to school!'). And, I'm glad I did - beautiful fall weather for walking!

Tuesday I did 45min on the treadmill (7min warm-up, 2.5 miles at pace of 5.1mph, 8min cool-down).
