Chicks in Control, July Exercise!
 

Okay, okay, so I'm a little late again! :lol:

If anyone would like to post their exercise, come on in! :welcome2:
I'm going to challenge myself to running at least three times a week. But I'm aiming for more.

In fact, there are a few people who should be joining me in here... tap tap tap...

I ran yesterday.
10 minute run, 2 min walk, 3 min run, 2 min walk, 3 min run. :running:

Exercises...mmh...exercises...
Here is what I´ve done so far this month:
- running around in total panic (48h til exam!!)
- running around searching my little cat
- jumping up and down and screaming while watching scoccer (you know, Worldchampion- thing here in Germany at the moment)
- walking past the hometrainer a few times per day
- fighting with my binge beast (call me Muhammed Ali...)

Ok, I guess my exercise regime could need a bit...improvment. But I begin to be seriuosly commited (??) about it. Really.

I´ll write more when I am really exercising....

Kate: Ugh! I'm soooooo sick of football and I'm sooooo glad that we are nearing the finals so that my hubby doesn't force me to watch 3 games a day anymore!!! I am interested to see who ends up winning though! hehehe

hmmm excercise! I willllll do my eliptical and my workout dvds!

Hi ellis! nice to see you again...

Kate - you exercise looks alot like mine...lol

I am so unmotivated right now...I need to get moving..lol...anyway my goal for this week is to work on my stomach so I'm planing to do at least 20+ sit ups per day and I would like to get in 3 days of cardio this week...
I managed to get in my sit ups for yesterday

Hi, Donna! :wave: Are you getting your sit-ups in, girl? :drill: Come on... it'll take you five minutes out of your day... you can do it! :hug:

Kate, that sounds like plenty enough exercise for you at present. ;) Hang in there, girl. :hug:

Scooter, how are you doing? Are you squeezing some exercise in? :)

I just ran. I am in agony. I could only run 10, walk 2, run 3, walk 6 today. My thighs are killin' me. I could barely make it up the basement stairs.
You know when you have those days when you just don't have it in you? Well, I'm hoping that's all this is. :lol:

Good morning!

Ok, my main exercise is still running around in panic, but I really made it do some REAL EXERCISES today!! Wow!!

Well, but unfortunately I noticed that our hometrainer (stationary bike) is broken...But I have a bandage for me knee, I hope that I can go walking again very soon.

So I did 15 Min cycling on an broken bike (was terrible hard), than 5 Min on the stepper (not good for my knee) and some Sit- ups etc for 10 Min.

And I am willing and prepared and everything to continue posting in that exercise thread! I am gonna make it this time!!

Kate

My challenge for July 2006 is to do cardio 3 times a week for 30 minutes. Started yesterday, so I hope I will stick to it this time around:dizzy:

Guess what I finally did? I exercised!!!! Twice in the past 48 hours actually. I've been SO unmotivated when it's come to exercise the past 2 months have once again realized how necessary exercise is if I want to LOSE weight, not maintain at a weight I am not happy with. It doesn't matter how on plan I am with my eating, the weight still refuses to budge without exercise. I did two 30 minute run/walk sessions on the treadmill. And I'm going to try to get at least an hour a day of proper exercise in every day from now to goal. And then chop it down to 3 days a week when I'm at goal.

Oh, thank goodness! I didn't know what to do ... I thought I was going to have to drag you in here by your hair! :lol:
I'm SO glad for you, Christian. :cheer: :cheer:

Lets see..
Sat. July 1st I did 4 miles walk.
Sun. July 2nd was my off day from working out.
Mon. July 3rd I did "The Firm: Muscle Scultping" (50 min).
Tues. July 4th I did 4 miles walk.
Wed. July 5th I did "The Firm: Total Body Sculpting" (50 min).

So that is my July so far. :-)

Hoping on the exercise wagon. I need to vary mine some as I had hurt myself then became lazy.

July 6 Walked 2.3 km

Wow ellis I don't know how much exercise you normally do but this sounds like lots to me. I can only dream of being able to do that much.

I really exercised.
I did one hour of walking and running this morning. I am so feed up with walking- I want to be a runner! But my knee hasn´t the same opinion. But i didn´t care today.

Exercising helps me to get rid of that dissapointed and angry feelings. Interestingly, for the first time in my life, I feel the urgent need to move.
I would love to be able to run around and kick something....Maybe i should give soccer a chance....But I am so bad when it comes to ball sports. But i would love to....

Anyway. I exercised today. Just wanted to say it.

Kate

well so far I've only managed to get in 2 days of my sit-ups this week...I just can't manage to get going right now...hope I can finish out my weekend goals...and I plan to start out next week with a bang..

Kate-way to go getting in your exercise today

Harpo-congrats on getting in your exercise...I also am so unmotivated right now...maybe we can motivate each other

gremlina-wow ..I wish I had your energy.

Oh Kate I used to love to run but my knees have been injured from it. I still burst in to short jogs now and then but my knees cry in pain. I do find walking is almost as good and I get the same getting rid of the dissapointment and angry feelings. There is something about getting out side and moving that cheers me up and puts me in a positive mood.
