Weekly Exercise Log: 11/9 to 11/15
 

Thought I'd start this off with my activity for the day:

run 1 1/3 miles
walk 1 2/3 miles

We did intervals with this: walk a lap, run a lap, walk a lap, etc...

Oops! I posted my Sunday exercise on the wrong thread... I'll post it in the right place now!

Sunday: 20 minutes of walking

Monday:

40 minutes walking

Monday routine
 

35 min. elliptical
25 min. weights

I wore my new workout shirt that I got on Old Navy clearance for $1.97!!! Felt rather attractive in it....;)

30 minutes elliptical
75 situps
arm weights

Jen - Awesome deal on the shirt!!

Check me out! ;) I finally went to aerobics! Well, not actually aerobics. It's called "Skigymnastics" but it's basically aerobics the German way. I think I can say with some confidence that I was the least coordinated person there. Why is it so hard to make my legs and arms do things at the same time? Also, it was very bouncy. We skipped, and jumped, and hopped, and leaped (leapt?). I am going to invest in a better sports bra.

Hey, check you out! A shirt for less than $2! Why aren't there more shirts for less than $2? The world would be a better place...

Monday: 1 hour Skigymnastics

Tuesday A.M.

20 min upper body weight training
40 min walk to school

Monday's exercise:

30 minutes of walking

Jen: Love the deal!! Old Navy has some great buys sometimes -- I got a shirt for 99 cents there on clearance!

Getting back into my groove today...

7 minutes jogging
35 minutes elliptical cross trainer
40 situps

Tuesday's Exercise

The same thing... 30 minutes of walking

Been sick....
 

...unable to exercise! I want to GET BETTER so I can get back to life! So anyway, I wasn't able to exercise Tues., and I won't be able to today, either. I'm hoping that throughout the course of today, I will heal up & tomorrow I can be back to normal! I even had to call in sick today, which you kinda *never* do when you're a teacher....I hate burdening/inconveniencing the other teachers, but I have no business being there today...would probably just get lots of others sick.
Here's to a better tomorrow!
Jen

I hope you get to feeling better, Jen! I knew something was wrong when you didn't post your exercise minutes yesterday -- you are such a faithful exerciser! Take care of yourself!

Tuesdays exercise:

30 minutes elliptical

Bit short since I didn't have much time so I had to cut out the weights and situps. Better than nothing though!

Wednesday's Exercise
 

40 minutes on the glider
20 minutes of walking

35 minute good brisk walk in the dark with my dog :)

Great job jdogg and lmaxin!

Wednesday for me - 30 minutes treadmill.

Tuesday: 60 minutes spinning class
Wednesday: 40 minutes walking

Nothing Wednesday for me and the outlook for today doesn't look good either! Although there are rumblings about a possible public transportation strike this Sunday, which would mean a lot more walking for me!

Yay! Feeling better!
 

Could finally get back to working out today--it felt good to get back in the groove! And tomorrow it's back to the gym.

Thurs:

approx. 2 1/2 mi. walk (was going to run part of it, but then decided not to push it after being sick)....took about 30-35 min.

On the road again!
 

I am so excited! All I can think about is that stupid Willie Nelson song... On the road again.... but I need to change it to eliptical! Finally made it back to the gym today! Yeahhhhhh!
Weighed in- not to bad, and took it kinda easy. Just did 30 min at 8 resistance, was going to lift but the cough started to creep in so I'll try that in a day or so. Jina, way to go on bumping up your time!

No exercise last night for me :( I really really hope to go tonight, but I am in crunch time to get my project done before I leave for Phoenix on Sunday.

Welcome back Jen and Sunseeker! Glad you both are feeling better.

Back to the gym today...
 

It felt good to get back into the gym routine today!

Friday:
35 min. elliptical (a brand-new machine they're "testing" on us--why can't they just stick with what works?)
25 min. weights

Glad you're feeling better, Jen! Glad you made it to the gym, Jamie!!

I think I must have forgotten to post my exercise for Thursday:

35 minutes on the glider

Saturday workout
 

45 min. walking/running intervals.
I ended up running about 30 min, and walking about 15 min. I did one of the miles at 6 mph (10-min. mile!). Which sounds not-that-great, but was actually really hard for me, so I'm proud! ;)

35 minutes on the elliptical cross trainer

I'm glad I got that in! My allergies are acting up yet AGAIN this weekend and that really makes me feel weak!
