Ugghh...i've been out of town for work and haven't been able to get my excercise in like i wanted....oh well...it's a new day for me to start again!

Ran 5 miles yesterday :D

Hadn't used my resistance bands in forever so thought I'd break them out and see if they were still challenging. Oh boy were they - got to jazz up some of my old staples with added resistance, and once I got started, I just wanted to keep going. So I went 15 min over my lunch break for a 75 min session. I did the following (4 sets of 15x unless otherwise noted):

Bicep Curls
Lat Pulls
One arm rear flies - 12x per side
Overhead Presses
Squats - 12x
Butt Blasters (12x per side, 3 sets...they were HARD)
Rear Delt Flies
Tricep Extensions - 12x
Leg Raise Crunches w/ band

And without the band...
Lower Ab/Inner Thigh Ball Squeezes
Bicycle Crunches

I was low on energy at the gym today. Don't know why. Still getting stitches when I try to run. Don't know why that is, either.

33 mins treadmill (300 cal)
25 mins legs, abs, lower back (115)

20 minutes - Pilates
40 minutes -Treadmill

Can't wait for my fitness game to come in the mail next week. I'm getting a little bored of the treadmill being the main source of my exercise.

60 elliptical and feeling like a POWERHOUSE today. But I broke my shoe :-( Off to sports authority I go.

20 minutes treadmill
15 mins elliptical
300 cals

I'm still having problems with stitches while I'm running. I've had one every day this week! Anyone have any clue how to prevent them? It's really beginning to interfere with my workouts.

Yesterday
20 minutes - Pilates

Today
REST!

No gym for me today, but I did take my dog for a lovely 70 minute walk.

(No one has any wisdom about the stitches?)

Yesterday:

60 min weight training
Ran 4.5 miles - 45 minutes

Baffled -- Here's an article The Side Stitch , hope it helps ...

Yesterday and Friday -- Rest

Today -- 5.75k run
23k bike ride

Saturday - rest/housecleaning
Sunday - 2 hrs gardening

I walked 4 miles up and down hills carry a backpack.
Then I swam laps for an hour. I was told 36 laps (across and back =1) is a mile.... So I guess I am going to say I did 5 miles today.... I am sooooo sore...

Question: Is swimming good for our tummy muscles too? They feel like they've been worked, so I am wondering if I should skip the crunches today?

Swimming works *all* the muscles. It's great exercise. And of course it works your abs as well.

I haven't gotten to the gym yet--I'm going in about an hour--but I'm going to burn 350 cals on the treadmill and then do my arms, back and shoulders.

As promised:
39 mins treadmill (350 cals)
25 mins upper body (125 cals)
