I did Kathy Smith Kickboxing tonight, and this time I finished it. I gave up on it back in January. I wish it wasn't so late, I'd exercise more. I am in a really REALLY crabby mood and I'd love to throw some more punches.

A Bazillion Stomach Crunches & Streches With The Body Ball.... :spin:

SeekInnerThinChick 04-02-2004 07:04 PM

Aqua-aerobics, had a good time, so nice to be gravity-free, and I'm high on that chlorine bouquet! :dizzy:

Noodles913 04-04-2004 06:50 AM

Saturday

Walked and walked and walked and walked...Judging. For 11 Hours. But it helped walk out and flush out the kidney stone. Ahhhhhhhhh.
:cloud9:

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to the Y I go...
 
Haven't been since last Sunday... Got a bit winded walking up the 2 flights to the Cardio Room ;) Maybe that was my warmup!

50 minutes on the elliptical trainer at level 1
5 minute Fitness Test on the treadmill (Result = 23, or Poor)
Ha! That's WHY I'm doing this...
10 minutes on the rower
------------------------
639 calories burned
:cb: Yeeha!

SeekInnerThinChick 04-04-2004 07:35 PM

Golf today. Losing 50 pounds has put 20 yards on my drive, and I've had to go down 1 club all down the line! And I'm not winded at all, unlike last year. However, my putting sucks. The Golf Gods giveth, and the Golf Gods taketh away.

Jennifer 3FC 04-04-2004 10:02 PM

Sarah, what kind of treadmill test did you do? Was this at a gym?

mauvaisroux 04-04-2004 10:47 PM

Spent 1 hour or so dancing at a club last night - other than that just walking :)

BerkshireGrl 04-05-2004 05:47 AM

Jennifer -

Yep! It was on... hmm, believe the machine brand is Life Fitness. One of the options on the display panel, besides Cardio, Fat Burn, etc, is Fitness Test. It sets itself up for 5 minutes at a speed you choose (2.0-4.5 mph I think is the range), then it measures your heart rate as you walk or jog. It ramps itself up too, into a little hill. I pick 3.0 mph because right now I'm a wuss heh!

I don't know what the number range is, though higher numbers are better! I test myself every so often to see if I'm making progress ;) Last time I did it in February, I was at 21/Poor, now I'm at 24/Poor. I know 25 is in the Below Average range since I saw that a while back when I was going more regularly. Soon I'll get to that, then Average then Above Average then maybe HOT MAMA! :devil:

BerkshireGrl 04-05-2004 08:09 PM

More YMCA torture:

30 minutes elliptical
25 minutes treadmill
7 minutes rower
-------------------
500 cals because I am pooped out from lack of sleep last night!

This Daylight Savings stuff is hard to get used to, especially when I got up at 5 am ("really" 4 am to my bod!) this morning to get to work. Phew! Gonna wash some dishes now, read a bit in bed then snooze my well-deserved 8 hours hehehe!

SeekInnerThinChick 04-05-2004 08:13 PM

Navi 04-05-2004 09:48 PM

I took a kendo class today. That counts as exercise.

Did you know that when you hit someone on the head with a bamboo sword, you're supposed to scream, "MEN!!"

mauvaisroux 04-06-2004 07:18 AM

:rofl: Kendo -that sounds like fun!

Noodles913 04-06-2004 03:37 PM

I haven't been able to exercise lately due to rocks in my back!! Bah...Driving me crazy!! Today I am going to try to do something cause I think the rocks have passed. We shall see... :dunno:

SeekInnerThinChick 04-06-2004 03:52 PM

Ouch!!! :yikes: That sucks a mighty suck, in fact it sucks dead gorillas. Poor Noodles! I hope they're giving you some serious drugs, at least.

Anyway, 45 minutes walk, medium fast pace.

chervata 04-06-2004 08:13 PM

Ow, sounds painful Noodles! Hope they've passed.

I have found a terrific way to walk more often. My dog is only 8-1/2, but he's already showing signs of soreness in his hips/legs is I push too much and walk him everyday. This slows my results because I was only getting out 3 X a week with him. :(

A SIL has been put on bedrest due to pregnancy problems, and they have a 10 mo. old chesapeake bay retriever that was usually in a small kennel (cage) and had ALl this energy to get out. I felt bad for him--it was actually keeping me awake at night worrying about him, so I made an offer to her to walk their dog 3x per week. Gets me out 6+ X per week, and is good for me/good for them (the dogs). Cool! ;) I can do this as long as she needs after the baby is born and then some. My dog is a Lab. I'm such a dog lover--I'm having a blast!

Tomorrow, though, I promised my mom I'd walk at the park with her, and leave the dogs at home. :lol:
