Chicks in Control, August Exercise!
 

ellis and HarpoChico, is it ok if I start this thread??
:^:

If you want to write about your exercises, try to get yourself motivated to exercise :kickbutt: or if you want to be praised for doing your exercises;) : this thread is the right place.

And I am expecting this to be the thread with the most postings in August...;)


Kate

OK, I am doing the first posting in this not-officially-opened thread....

I bought a book a last week (Didn´t count as exercises, I know, because I ordered via Mail and didn´t ran to the bookstore). It was "The Core Performance: The Revolutionary Workout Program to Transform Your Body & Your Life" (yes, what a decent title) and I decided to give that Core- Performance Workout a try....It has a 12 weeks workout program and a 6 weeks Pre- workout program if you are totally out of shape.

I started with the "I am totally out of shape"- version, but I am totally motivated to do the whole workout- but it´s incredible challenging!!
But two days of workout are already done!:D

Yahoo, I am going to be an athlete!! :D ;)

Kate

Yes, you can start this thread, Kate!!! Anyone is free to start any new thread. And don't direct your questions at me, ellis is the boss. I am but her humble servant ;)

YES!! Everyone needs to step up the exercise in August. We are having a forum wide weigh in, so us CIC's have to kick the others' butts!!!

Now, August hasn't officially started for me yet, because I haven't finished sleeping in July. Don't even bat an eye if you didn't understand that.

Good luck girls!!! Now MOVE!!!!

Harpo we are suppose to sleep ? ;) I'm a night owl but will get to bed soon, maybe :D

Kate good luck with the book and exercises.

I'm making a commitment to exercise every day this month.

:lol: Kate you are so funny

Kate, thanks for starting this! I need it!! :)
You ARE going to be an athlete, girl! :hug: Good luck with your new program!

Harpo, I hope you're getting a little sleep, hon. ;) I hear ya. I'm considering heading back to bed.

Hi, Koko! :wave: Happy exercising, girl!!

I don't know what to do... it's already 41C (107F) here with the humidex, and it's only 10:30 in the morning! :yikes: Maybe I'd better check out the basement for coolness... after all, my treadmill and exercise bike are down there...

I'm here too! I plan to do 3-4 miles a day for at least 5 days a week this month....I did 2-3 miles a day last month and want to raise that goal a little bit. I'm all done sleeping in July...Im ready for the end of the month already I want August to ZIP by...Kids start school on the 17th and we *should* be moving by August 31 so im READDYYYY. It will be so wierd without my kids here for 8 hours of the day but I think I will make it ;) haha :lol3:

Kate-great job on 2 days done...are you still running too? look out everyone cause here come Kate the athlete..

I managed to start getting back into exercising last month after taking like a month off...so this month i hope to get back into my old routine of at least 5 days a week...last month I managed about 3 days a week.

okay girl lets make this a busy workout month and keep ourselfs moving

Hey ladies, mind if I join in? I am following the couch to 5k running program on coolrunning.com and then just generally getting my stretch and strength training done on my own. I try to work out as much as I can but this month I have a goal of 1100 minutes. Last month I shattered my 1000 minute goal so I thought it might be a good idea to up it.

Lets get going, shake what your momma gave ya!

I just did about 15 minutes of my Brasilian Dance DVD before my needed a diaper change. So I guess he pooped out before I did...

I wanna get some of those ten minute workouts. I never have very long to workout at a time.

Hey! :wave:

I just did one mile on my dreadmill! I had to force myself to get on that thing, but I feel GOOD now! WOOHOO! I'm planning on a 30minute bike ride now!

:cheer: Kate the athlete :cheer:
:cheer: Lealee the treadmill queen :cheer:

Come on everybody!!!! :woops: :running: :strong: :belly: :bike2: :ebike: :tread:

WTG on the dreadmill Elizabeth!!! I am just about to get on mine too :( I don't wanna today..its TOM and OMG it hurts....but i KNOW the exercise will help so off to do my time on the torture device....At least Viggo Mortenson (aka aragorn) and Orlando Bloom (aka legolas) will keep me company today ;)

Hello everyone, I hope to workout everyday. July was a pretty good month, i started working out more towards the end so hopefully i'll keep going.
I ride a bike and while i'm riding I lift weights. Just 2 pounds and I do 50-100 reps of shoulder presses, lateral shoulder raises, bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and a bunch of other stuff. And then I do either aerobics or step aerobics. I did 45 minutes today.

Does anyone know any aerobics dvds that use real music. I hate that generic stuff they use on most of them.

YAY for all you hard workers!!!

75 min weights, 5 km ex. bike, 30 crunches
