Okay, I'm not going to set a minute goal this time. Instead I'm just going to set a "I plan to do better than I have been" goal! I just went to the doctor yesterday, and she confirmed what I already know... I need to lose weight. So I was up at 4:30 am to go to the YMCA to work out. I did a good job today, I just hope it continues, I want to lose 5 lbs at least by the time I go back for my physical on the 21st. =) So here goes!
Nov 1st: 30 minutes - elliptical
Nov 2nd: 0 minutes
Nov 3rd: 0 minutes
Nov 4th: 0 minutes
Nov 5th: 20 minutes - hip hop abs
Nov 6th: 15 minutes - random things
Nov 7th: 10 minutes treadmill, 20 minutes elliptical

This is such a good idea, Well I'd like to do minutes 720 of cardio work, which is roughly 3x60minutes per week, this will either be quick walking, cycling or swimming, THIS IS A MINIMUM!!! On top of this, I'd like to do 480 minutes of weights and strength training, plus toning...which will come to about 4x30 sessions per week.
Will i keep too it?? Thats the question!!!!
So far::
Cardio 0/720
Toning: 0/480
1 - Didn't do anything (stayed at home..)

I hope I'll get the hang of posting this so here goes. I already have set in motion what I am doing for a work out program---just more of the same.
Walking on treadmill 5x a week for 30 min each day M-F; lift free weights Tu-Th and Sat; Pilates/dance off dvds on the weekend (and if I can fit them in during the work week) and last all the other activity I am still doing: like painting (sustained for more than a half hour) in my apartment. and so on.
I would like to set a goal to do some sort of physical activity (bike ride, eliptical, pilates) for a minimum of 30 minutes three times a week. So that would be a minimum of 360 minutes for the month.
330/360 Almost there!

My goal is to reach 6 miles on the elliptical this month. I've been hovering around 5.3 - 5.6 miles and I'd like to increase my speed on the up portion of my intervals so I can achieve his goal. As far as resistance training, I want o increase my reps for each workout I perform. I also need to incorporate some ab work so I'm shooting for at least 100 crunches a week.
1 - Treating today as off day and working out Sunday, orig. off day (2 midterms tomorrow, yikes!)
2 - 60 mins cardio ellitpical 40/treadmill 20 | 4.8 miles | 0 Upper Body Resistance Training for 40 mins.
3 - 40 mins cardio: elliptical | 3.6 miles | 0 strength
4 - 60 mins cardio: ellitpcal | 5.7 miles| Full Body Resistance Training for 60 mins. (Side note, I'm getting close to my goal of running 6 miles in an hour, YAY!)

*** November 2007 Fitness Challenge ***
Better luck next month, eh? Too many lazy days where I didn't do anything. I'll have to try harder to get it in everyday
and so on.
