Ok Chickies home stretch, let's:kickbutt: so we're looking sexier at the:beach:

No dedicated exercise since Thursday, but that seems to fit pretty well with weeks past. I kicked my house's butt on Friday, though, cleaning mostly from 10a to 8p and finishing up some Saturday morning. We had friends over Saturday afternoon until about 9p, and not long after they left, I was in bed. Until noon Sunday! And then, I sat around ALL DAY yesterday doing almost nothing. It was GREAT!

6/10: 40 min Wii Fit (strength and aerobics)
6/11: 20 min Pilates, 26 min WAH
6/12: 30 min walk, 20 min swim

6/15: 30 min pilates

The pilates chick totally kicked my butt. At one point I fell out of an exercise because my arms about gave out. It was humbling, but an excellent workout!! I was totally sweating from early into it. I hope to get in some Wii Fit later and I've done our normal walk to the library, so I'm having a good healthy, active day! Yay!

Hello All!

I just got back for physical therapy, and I think I need to change my goal for this month. I was advised by my physical therapist that I should not concentrate on the cardio as much and focus on strength training my lower body. She believes that will help my recovery with my ankle pick up pace a little. So, I am going to consider my 80 miles so far a success and no longer focus on how many miles I can get in. I would like to still workout 5-6 days a week and do workouts that are based on getting my ankle back to full health.

That being said, I'm off to the gym!

CMo4: Congrats on surviving HIIT today LOL!. I was thinking about you yesterday because my Active workout had me doing some variation of interval training on the track with slow kick ups and fast kick ups. Made the jogging seem so easy in comparison :D

LE: Good job on remaining standing on the water skiing! I want to try that one day.

Dollypie: Get better soon!

Ms. P.: My DH is also a big fan of basketball, he is 6'4" and I am 5' 2" (tops), so I know exactly how you feel! Did you go to a pilates studio?

gatorgirl: The physio advice makes sense to me. Hopefully your leg will be back to normal pretty soon!

I did not want to exercise today, but I made myself do it. As it is, I will barely be able to finish the 30 day challenge in 30 days, and I did not want to fail that part of my goals!

June 1: EA Active Workout 22 min. + 30 min free step = 52 min.
June 2: EA Active Workout 24 min. + 30 min. walk = 54 min.
June 3: WL Yoga and abs = 45 min.
June 4: EA Active 24 min.
June 5: rest
June 6: EA Active 28 min.
June 7: 0

June 8: EA Active 25 min.
June 9: EA Active 34 min. + 30 min. Walk = 64 min.
June 10: Rest
June 11: EA Active 18 min + Wii free step 30 min: 48 min.
June 12: EA Active 28 min.
June 13: Wii Fit aerobics 30 min.
June 14: EA Active 30 min.

June 15: EA Active 28 min + Walk 20 min. = 48 min.

Gator, I'm glad your doctor is on top of your exercise regimen. We definitely don't want you hurting yourself, and you did an amazing job getting in 80 miles this month! Congrats on meeting your cardio goal!!

Well, I can't stop cardio all together, cause well, now its a little addicting, but its not my main focus. Today I decided to just do 30 min on the stationary bike (which is lite cardio for me) and then 30 min of lower body strength training. I didn't want to do much more than that, because I worked on strength training during PT today anyhow. I couldn't help but look at my miles for my 30 min on the bike, and I think I will still keep track of them, but not push for them. Hopefully it will give me a good idea of a goal for next month. :) I asked my PT today when I would be able to start running and she believes that I can not run right now because of the lack of muscle, so once I gain back the muscle than I am good to go. Also, during my lower body ST'ing I noticed that even my quad and hamstring in my right leg are significantly weaker than the other side. I think I am going to take a sheet of paper to the gym tomorrow to see how much I can lift on all the machines with each leg, so that I can get some idea of the muscle difference. Anyone know some good lower body ST'ing exercises? I just go from machine to machine at the gym.

June 15~ 30 min stationary bike (7 miles), 30 min lower body ST'ing

Just checking in: 2.5 mile walk today...34.5 down, 5.5 to go.

I really have to be careful now. Instead of taking this coming up Sunday off, which I like to do, I took yesterday off. I had absolutely no energy and didn't have the mindset to combat it. It should have been a strength training day. I have an appointment to go to today, so it's not going to be convenient but I either have to do strength training today-Thursday-Saturday OR tomorrow-Friday-Sunday. But I have to exercise for the rest of the week either way. I cannot go through another no-energy day this week and even if I do, I'm going to have to push through it. I knew I had better get on here and post. There's no denying the accountability factor of posting on this thread. It's like, "Okay, so now everyone knows the deal, so you have to follow through." I'll be back on sometime today to update today's exercise.
