Exercise Accountability -- May 2007
 

A new month! I have exercised and the sun is shining. What could be better?

45 mins elliptical: (According to my new HRM, 430 cals)
20 mins upper body weights: (124 cals--*much* higher than the Nutridiary estimate for light weight training).

Yay for May! hehehe.

75 min yoga class!

1 hr bike ride :ebike: 20k

Diva it's extremely OK that you started this thread... thank you :D

For me -
May 1st - 20 mins bike, 20 mins treadmill, 15 minutes arc trainer - all bumped up a level

May 2nd - aqua aerobics - 60 minutes

30 mins elliptical; 22 mins treadmill: (500 cals--hooray!)
15 mins legs (55 cals--boo!)

Yes, but just think how cute your butt is going to look :)

Ran 3 miles on treadmill = 29:41 minutes

15 min incline treadmill
20 min UB weights
30 min elliptical

Diva, hills are killer, but after doing the hill interval workout on the treadmill i can honestly say my behind has lifted.... of course, it's still spanned FAR too wide but that's another story. :lol: point is, hard work pays off! Good for you!

After ages of not doing as I should....

About 1 mile walked yesterday, and 1.5 miles today.

Approx 55 mins treadmill (510 cal)
30 mins upper body. Learned some new exercises!

May 3rd - walking - 25 minutes, 10 minutes abs
May 5th - aqua aerobics - 60 minutes

About to head to gym for 60 min on the elliptical.

25 mins elliptical; 25 mins treadmill (460 cals)
30 mins legs, back, abs (130 cals)

40 minutes - chest weight training
40 minutes - ran 4.5 miles on treadmill

Today
57 minutes - biceps/triceps weight training
30 minutes - ran 3 miles

OK, so no exercise this weekend. There are a couple reasons for this, though. First, my house is a nightmare with all of the wedding gifts...to the point where I can't use my kitchen. No kitchen = poor food choices. Second, having a mess of a house ruins my routines and stresses me out. So I see this as a choice - one weekend with no exercise, where I buckle down, do my spring cleaning, and get my wedding stuff put away, or several weeks of being stressed out and having problems with my routine.

That being said, if you clean for 12 hours, re-organize, assemble furniture, box up old stuff, put away new stuff, etc...its hard work! Being that I've hardly sat down all day, I think I'm good.

Off to scrub the shower, then finish unpacking from the honeymoon and onto washing the kitchen/bathroom floors and neatening the pantry.

60 min strength training.

Good job, Amanda. Hope your house is all spic and span :)

Today: 5 mins elliptical; 26 mins treadmill. (300 cal). I had a stitch today and couldn't seem to power through it. I don't usually get a stitch and I'm not sure what I did to deserve one. So only 30 mins cardio :(

25 mins upper body strength training. (140 cal).

Today
40 minutes - Treadmill

Gods you ladies are really inspiring me to get moving. I enjoy working out but I had to stop in January due to major surgery. I am back at the gym, doing my eliptical for 40 minutes, 4x a week, but I just haven't felt motivated for weights. I'm getting back on them ASAP. Thanks!
