HI everyone : ) I have decided on 1400 minutes for this month. THe weather is good now (except for this week!) so I plan on doing more walking outdoors for this month. MY exercise will consist of mostly walking, as well as aerobics, all over body toning (inc. some stretching), and upper bod strength training. I'm shooting for a weekly average of walking (200min), aerobics + toning (120 min.) and u.b.s.t (30 min).

nice to see you all , let's keep truckin ladies. THis is my 3rd month! I am so excited. I went to the park for the first time this year yesterday (some of the trails are rigorous) and I could see a vast improvement in my fitness level versus last spring! no huffing and puffing this time, no sore muscles, n othing! I am very thankful for this thread.


4/1 - 60 min. walk/hike (b.p park)
4/2 - 15 min. u.b.s.t

I must admit I could not do the walk/run on the treadmill. My legs were just so sore after Monday. So I did a 1/2 hour walk on level 6. And I could kill the so & so who invented the stepper. It belongs in a torture chamber.Had a good day food wise, stuck to my plan (mostly) which is good for me!
Well. off to work. Have a great day people
