Hey, Terapet - do you do Zumba @ a gym or do you have DVDs? I did one class at the gym, surprisingly LOVED it, but want to find DVDs for when I'm not around the gym. I posted this question over in Exercise but nobody replied :(

Overall, I've done OK in this first week of July. Still away from home. Have done hour-long walks every day except the holiday (strenuous walks - lots of hills). Sadly - I am looking forward to getting back to my routine!! Until I see some permanent maintainable changes, it stresses me out a bit to be "free form" since my whole new way of life only began a month ago. ha! I'm trying really hard to establish good habits ...

You guys are definitely inspiration to push myself!

TERAPET 07-07-2009 03:49 PM

Hi Emma-I love Zumba too. I have only done Zumba in a class though so I do not know of any DVDs.

Congrats on your new commitment. From your ticker it looks like commitment has it rewards. Keep it goin' girl!

Well, a quick note from vacation...staying VERY active (I'm only counting 1/2 the minutes from sports activities!) Having lots of fun, but it's tough making "good choices" with ffod since I'm not cooking or choosing my food 90% of the time. I'm gonna keep on doing my best and stay active. You ladies keep on doing all you can! I wish I had more time to read/do personals but we don't have the laptop like we thought we would. I'll check back in a day or two....

Hello ladies hope all is going well today! Boy am I tired now. I had my first full workout with my trainer. Don't know if I can move for the rest of the day :tired: She gave me a great workout and she is emailing me my new workout schedule for this month. I have a great plan now. I will need the support to keep this up for sure! Next month when I meet up with her we are going to go to the park to do a boot camp style boxing workout. That should be fun. Have a great day! You chickies are awesome :flow1:

Mystical-Way to Go on the weight loss!

I tried to work a bit harder at strength training yesterday. I am feeling a bit sore today so it probably helped some. I know what I really need is to add a second strength workout to my schedule but it won't be this week as I am probably heading out of town for the weekend so I will probably miss all my classes from Thursday thru Monday. Yikes.

TERAPET 07-08-2009 12:25 PM

Ms Perception-Your exercise schedule looks like a lot of fun. I wish I was that athletic. Awesome!

joyinSF 07-08-2009 12:47 PM

darn, i know im a bit late on this, but my goal is to work out every day for an hour and a half.
60 min- elliptical
30 min- treadmill or bike or weights.

yikes!
