Exercise Challenge October
 

Ok, time for a new exercise thread!

I borrowed the words from lovely ellis:

Hey, all!

Challenge yourself to a little more exercise than you did last month. (for some of us, that's not a lot)
Take a few minutes, get out of your chair, and move it!!


This month... I'm joining the gym again. And I'm committing to using my (finally blown up) new exercise ball 3-4 times a week, plus some running.

Come and join us!

So, September is gone....it went really good for me in the exercise department last month.

This month (ok, started last Tuesday), I increased my workout I am now doing a 75- 120 min cardio/strength/movement skills/ plyometric (yeah, learned new words!) workout five times per week.

Tuesday workout: done


Kate

Haha -- for me ANY exercise this month will be an improvement over last month!!! I rode my bike once and walked/jogged a handful of times. I'm going to start aerobics again. I haven't done any in months. And I'm going to start my jogging program again.

Thanks for starting this, Kate! :)

Last month I did well. I've been back at the gym for three weeks. :running:
Now I have a cold, darn it. :mad:
I'm going to rest again today, and hope I have something in me for a workout tomorrow.

Oh... my plans for this month. Gym three times a week, including running and a small weight workout.

Hello everyone...well I sure hope I do better this month lol

last month I was sick for two weeks but I'm feeling better now...Plan on going to the gym tonight..

Also I'm down 1lb this week

ellis great job getting back to the gym..keep it up

kate wow 120 mins thats amazing..you go girl just dont burn yourself out

Harpo-good luck with your running this month

I am aiming for 2-3 times a week at Curves
10000 steps on my pedometer

October 3 Tuesday
Curves and 12674 steps

sounds like everyone has great plans for this month, let's keep it moving everyone!!

i am still doing the weight routine 3 x a week, i upped my reps a bit for the next 2 weeks. i'm feeling stronger everyday. i am also up to 2.5 miles walking 5x a week. i also added a few crunches in here and there, i'm going to work on being a little more consistent with that.

we're off to a wonderful start!!

Yawn.....Good morning!

Ok, Wednesday exercise: done!
Maybe I wasn´t quite awake this morning during exercises, but it seems as if there would be a tiny enhancement in the movement skills department...a little, tiny one....


Ok, let´s make October to a moving month! :carrot: ;)

Donna, I totally caught your cold. I am so sick. :( I'm glad YOU'RE feeling better!

I'm amazed at how well everyone is doing. Can we keep this up? :hat:

I did go to the Y today. I decided to bike instead of running. Biked for 30 minutes and did a few weights. I think I have a fever now...

It's been awhile since I have been in this thread, but part of my re-commitment to an appropriate life-style is keeping up on the boards (plus, I missed you all:^: ).

I walked 30 minutes on the treadmill today (2 miles).

I am going to try to re-introduce weights to my workouts this month, but we shall see how that plays out.

back at it
 

Here I am back at it. Started this last jan and need to get my butt in gear again.:( This time I also have 2 buddies :hug: to help me out and I hope they get on this site. I walked the stairscase at lunch today (3 flights up and 3 flights down). Goal? to keep that up the rest of this week and to walk those steps 2x a day.:flow1:

Heading off to the gym... for a very careful workout, as I'm still full of cold...

Keep it up, girl... you're doing great! :cheer:

Gosh. I just had a GREAT workout! I was planning on just walking on the treadmill as my head is still full of cold (and I'm still a little "chesty"), but I ran for 16 minutes straight! My longest yet!! :hat:

Hey! Where are all the exercising people!? :wave:

Had another good workout today. Ran 16 minutes straight again. :hat: Plus some weights.

Excellent workout yesterday!

i got up early the past 2 days and did my strength training for 10 mins, also walking 10000 + steps a day. thats about all i'm commiting to this week, next week i'll add a little more.

Donna, come on, hon... you know how good you feel when you exercise. :hug: Remember that's it's a gift to your body, and you're entitled to lots of gifts. :)

I just had a goodish workout. I was feeling TERRIBLY draggy when I got on the treadmill, and thought, "If I can run for 1 minute today, it'll be a freakin' miracle."
Well... I ran for 18 minutes!! My longest yet! :) I figured as I felt so lousy, I might as well feel lousy for a few minutes longer. :lol:
And I did a couple of little arm weight thingys.

Thursday workout: done

ellis: Thanks! :^: And congratulations to your 18 Minutes run! :carrot:
