Now that I'm older, I hold more weight in my stomach and my joints have worn out...not so flexible anymore, I guess. :p Sucks to get old, but better than the alternative, eh! :yes:

Hum, I wonder if you should still hurt from the 30th and hoping you did not injure something. Some yoga tapes are dangerous with head/neck stands or over extentions. I'm a senior as well and hurt after doing things also, but after one or two days am generally fine. That weight all in the tummy is a pickle too. I must need to practice more unconditional love on myself.

I'll share my favorite stretch and flexibility CD with you. "Total Stretch for beginners" by Tamilee. No pain, only gain.

I have not worked out on a regular basis in a couple of years. I feel so much better after working out so I am not sure why I put it off so much. I am determined to get back to living a healthy lifestyle by eating better and moving more. My goal is 500 minutes of cardio exercise for the month of December. Good luck to everyone!

I just bought a gym membership on Nov 30 so this thread seems appropriate. My goal is 30 min cardio 5x week. Weekends are just bonus since I can not guarantee having the time available.

TurboJam
 
I'm challenging myself to stick with the TurboJam Beginner schedule this month. I'm off by one day, but I did exercise on one of the days listed as rest to counteract that. I figure it balances it out in the end.

Nov 28th - Learn & Burn - done
Nov 29th - rest day
Nov 30th - 20 min Cardio Workout - done
Dec 1st - 20 min Cardio Workout - done
Dec 2nd - 20 min Cardio Workout - done
Dec 3rd - 20 min Cardio Workout - done
Dec 4th - rest day

Dec 5th - Cardio Party - done
Dec 6th - 20 min Cardio Workout & Ab Jam - mostly done - did only 10 min Ab Jam but got through all of the Cardio Workout without a problem
Dec 7th - Cardio Party - done
Dec 8th - 20 min Cardio Workout & Ab Jam - cardio done. Will do ab jam tomorrow
Dec 9th - 20 min Cardio Workout - ended up being a rest day
Dec 10th - 20 min Cardio Workout & Ab Jam, as well as 2 miles on a Leslie Sansone DVD. This completes the first 2 weeks of Turbo Jam Beginner Schedule! Two weeks to go!!
Dec 11th - rest day

Dec 12th - Cardio Party - done
Dec 13th - 20 min Cardio Workout & Ab Jam

All this cardio is working!!! Hard work pays off!!!

My left foot has mild plantar fasciitis, so I can't run fast like I used to. I am taking it slow. I will probably do something about it after I reach goal. For now it's ok.
