I'd better get on this! Exercising is one of my least favorite things to do and I don't want to fall off the wagon! My goal is to walk or ride my recumbent stationary bike for 45 minutes each day.

April 1 -- Bike -- Check!

60 minutes of cardio later I made it out of the gym alive! I ran two miles and walked a half of mile and then did the elliptical for 25 minutes. Followed by my Push up and sit up challenge. Woohaa! Off to a good start.

ms perception WTG on losing all those inches. You rock!

Pretty Friend Hey we are back together. I flaked too. Couldn't remember where the thread was...lol

FSA Well I have my good karma in. How did you do?

Icandoallthings Hey Girlie. I'm am working on those push ups myself. I so wanna do a triathalon...the pool thing>>>>ay yi yi!

ms perception what's a sprint triathlon?

I've been thinking about trying to do a mini-triathlon of some kind this summer...I'd be okay with the running and the biking, but if I decide to do it, I'll have to get some laps in at the pool.

I have to watch my late night snacking!!!!
 

:wave:Hi girls, I have joined the April Weight Loss Challenge. I know I need to exercise to make it a sucess. I would like to join the April Exercise Challenge also.

My goal : To do some sort of exercise 5x weekly (one hour)
walking, wi fit, water aerobics, Hi/Lo aerobics, Strength, or an exercise video,
etc.

This is awesome....speaking of good Karma!!! You gals rocked it :carrot::carrot: what a great start to the month. Congrats to everyone on a super start :cheer2::cheer2::high:

MsPerception, :congrat:on all those inches lost. Looking great! Remember I said I would take my measurements after TOM last month, still havn't, you just inspired me to do so. I did try on some clothes today though (at home) and OMG!, the differnce in fit is unbeleivable. I really would of loved to of seen how many inches I took off my thighs, the visual even is unreal....bless the walking! Anyways, it's nice to see the fruits of labor paying off and it feels so good seeing those clothes draping! Congrats once again girl :)

Cakebatter, I managed 40 minutes. aerobics on the wii today and felt so much better after getting something accomplished! No walk, it is raining again and will be for the next few days so I need to get myself back on the treadmill. You have all inspired me to make sure I do that tomorrow!

Speaking of getting in good Karma, you certainly did....all of you! wtg ladies. I am glad you joined in with us....the exercise threads really help us to keep going. I know I wouldn't have done my workout today without it! Also, I am going to have to make darn sure I get on that treadmill tomorrow! ;) :)

icandoallthings-hey there! A sprint tri probably equals a mini tri. It's a 1/4 mile swim, 15-20 mile bike, and a 5K/3.1 mile run. Here they are usually referred to as a sprint tri or a "short course" if they are running a longer (1/2 Ironman or something) version at the same time. I've done a couple and LOVE them. I'm not great in the water either, cake batter, but you learn to do it well enough after awhile. :D Anyway, enough about me...

Look at all you ladies on here! So good to see everyone is getting fit for life! Yay! Hope everyone feels decent and knows that we're just here to encourage each other. Speaking of...Congrats cake batter on talking yourself into the gym today. There's a victory right there! Have a good one ladies, I'm off to relax.

Ah, another month another exercise challenge. And this time, I'm on time to start from the beginning of the month. Yay

Icandoallthings and msperception I have heard of the short - tri and i would really like to try one. I gotta get that swimming thing down first.

Hi all! I hope everyone is keeping up with the exercise they want to do! Sooner or later, I'm going to have to add some strength-training, but I'm not mentally prepared for it yet. I keep telling myself, even if I do some "girl" push-ups, I'll be creating resistance to strengthen muscles by having to lift my own weight, but...I'm just not ready to add strength-training to my April goals list...at least not yet! All in good time. Meanwhile, I'm proud of myself for what I am accomplishing!

April 1--Bike--Check! April 2--Bike--Check!

I am at work and oh how I long to be outside running!

That's right, Jacqui! Rome wasn't built in a day. You do things at the right pace for you and you'll do wonderfully. You are already POP this month which is awesome!

My Minutes:
4/1: 68 min (WAH 5 miles), 32 Wii Aerobics
4/2: 38 min (WAH 3 miles w/stretchies)

So far, so good!

wtg on the workoutssss everyone :carrot::carrot: I did mine this morning but need to run, bbl.

M_Perception, thanks!

I don't know what got into me today, but not only did I ride 60min instead of 45min on my exercise bike, but I also decided to walk to Walmart to buy some resistance bands. That's 4 miles round trip! Now if I can just psych myself up to use the resistance bands, lol! Soon, maybe soon! :)

April 1--Biked! April 2--Biked! Walked!

Go on ya, Jacqui! I use resistance bands a little and I like them. They're verstaile. This month is gonna rock!

Yay! April is here! (almost)

I was too tired after a long bad day at work, and I have a sinus headache:headache:. I am planning to go geocaching this weekend, that should get some miles in, and my mood lifted!! All in all, I am still on track for my monthly mileage, so it should all work out! Right?

Yay Jacqui D! You rocked it today, keep up the good work!!! I was thinking about upping my strength training too. It is not my favorite thing, that is for sure.

Ms Perception, your month looks like it is starting out really well. Great job!

Fullsteamahead- Just wanted to say a quick hello. I hope you had a great day!
