I'm kind of insulted by an ad I just saw about someone who lost weight without "boring cardio." So many things wrong with that, but let's start with cardio isn't boring! What do you think?

If all goes well today, my non-boring cardio will be a lovely walk along a creek with my husband.

I would like to join in on this if it is not too late.

Recovering from a broken ankle in November. The doctor told me it would be 3-4 months before I was running and pivoting and it will be four months next week. I was able to run close to normal last week so I figure it is time to get back on the treadmill for my walks.

My goal is 900 minutes.

Started Monday and have logged 75 minutes so far.

:woops:

DaugT 03-06-2012 11:19 AM

AH! I've fallen behind, time to step it up!
3/6 weekly check-in ... 100 minutes.

Ouch, popcorngal! Glad to hear you are coming out the other side of this!

Day 4 of 21+, done.

Supreme 90 Day, workout 4, arms and shoulders plus some Pilates, 40 min.; dogs walk 1.5 miles, 30 mins.

Ok, so I'm totally feeling my arms right now, kinda my whole upper arm. Killer bi workout, plus. Hope I'm ok tomorrow and not too sore! I highly recommend this Supreme 90 Day workout (especially since I picked it up for half price of $10 at Boscov's the other week but even at $20 it's well worth the money, imo). I imagine if I followed the workout plan exactly (I'm doing a C25K so I'm only doing this dvd/workout every other day at most) I'd be seeing some quicker results. After I complete the C25K maybe I'll do a serious 90 day with this workout.

gardnerjoy -- I'm with you. Cardio isn't boring if you're doing something you enjoy. Personally I find bike riding boring, so? I don't bike ride! But there are so, so many ways to get cardio in and it doesn't have to be a 'gasping for air, sweating like a piggy' type workout all the time either. Short bursts of moderate cardio several times throughout the day will absolutely be a benefit in the long run. And a long run once in awhile will too! :lol:

augeremt 03-06-2012 05:01 PM

I was invited to/made aware of this thread by gardenerjoy but avoided joining because I didn't think I'd have much exercise to report. Due to recent knee surgery, I'm limited in my running (as in, I'm not cleared to run at all), and that's usually my bad weather exercise of choice. BUT, the weather's been beautiful lately so I dusted off my bike and hit the road the last couple of days. Since winter seems to be making way for spring, I figure there will be more days like this coming up so I will be able to contribute!

I'm rambling here are my goals for the rest of March:
1) 8 days of gym for knee rehab and arm strengthening (2 x per week)
2) 12 days of riding my bike (3 x per week)

As of today, I have 2 days of biking under my belt for this week and am hitting the gym tonight with my roommate. I'm totally on track!

PopcornGal and augeremt, welcome! I hope the injury recovery goes smoothly for both of you!

I don't find my cardio exercise boring at all!! I'm working too hard when I'm doing it to get bored, lol. I am really, really enjoying the running lately, and wish I could do it more often (it's only the nagging pain in my hip that keeps me at just 2x/week).


March 1 - 3 mile run + walk/sprint intervals + warm up/cool down walk + stretching (4.4 miles total; 75 minutes)
March 2 - 2.5 mile walk + strength training (upper and lower body); 70 minutes
March 3 - 55 minutes eliptical (5.1 miles)

Hi! I was wondering if I could join? I've been tracking all my exercise anyways and have been looking for an exercise group :) My goal is 1200min for March!

Today I did an hour of hiking which brings me to 240/1200

redautumn 03-07-2012 08:44 AM

I would like to join also. My goal is to exercise 5 days/week. Monday was 60 minute Zumba class, and Tuesday I walked 4 miles. I am not sure what I will do today but I will be doing something!
