  • Quote: Wow, that's great! Was thinking of getting a heart rate monitor.
    I love mine. I originally got it because I like to measure my cardio by calories burned--I find that to be motivating. But I really love the fact that I have concrete evidence of my increasing fitness every time I get onto the treadmill. I can see that it takes me longer to get to my target zone, and I can see how much more quickly I recover from high-intensity exertion. I literally see an improvement in my fitness every single week. Love it! It was a great reward for reaching goal.
  • 32 minutes elliptical (I'm working up to 60) followed by a nice 30 minutes in the sauna.
  • 52 minutes - The Firm: Bootcamp

    Had to get my exercise out of the way as I'm going away for the three day weekend.

    Enjoy your weekend everyone!
  • Have fun Canary

    20k, 1 hour, bike ride
    40 min UBWO
  • 20 min yoga/weights, 20 min walk. DONE!

    310/300
  • Grrr.

    Only 40 min UB strength today, because I was supposed to donate blood. But then I got deferred for spending less than 6 hours in a city that I ASKED THEM ABOUT before I left for my honeymoon and they said would be fine. Then I called AGAIN and double checked when I got back so I wouldn't waste my time going in for an appointment if I was going to be deferred...nope, still fine. So I take my lunch hour, get my finger pricked, waste half an hour of my time (it could have been cardio!) only to be told that I am deferred from donating for a YEAR because of -one- stop on my cruise that I pre-cleared with them.

    Well, if I was ever going to get a tattoo, this would be the time, as I'd always considered it but didn't do it because of the 1 year donation deferral.

    I repeat, grrr. May have to take an extended lunch and do some form of cardio just to burn off the frustration.
  • 30 minutes elliptical
  • 45 mins treadmill. A very good run!
  • 50 minute bike ride (374 cals)
  • yesterday -- 5 mile run and three shows on FitTv (90 min of yoga and strength training)
  • today: 4-mile Walk Away the Pounds DVD (it's been a while since I did that!) and a few yoga poses
  • Argh! Stymied!

    Gym is closed today so I decided to take my new (used) bike on a 7 mile ride around the wheatfields. Alas, I got there and discovered that my bike has a flat tire and I had no clue how to fill it up with air. (No pump). So I'm back home now (and my bf tells me I could have taken the bike to a gas station to fill it with air...Duh!) with zero exercise to report.

    I'm due a day off, but still...
  • Saturday - 40 mins Pilates

    Today - 45 mins Yourself! Fitness Cardio Workout
  • I did LOTS of walking and gardening this weekend, more then I normally do. Managed to drop another pound!
  • Fishing yesterday. I do not know a better tricep exercise than all day fishing. I even switched my casting arm so both arms would get a workout. Not to mention the up the hill, down the hill, up the hill from the site where we were set up.
