Exercise Accountability -- June 2007
 

It's a new month!

Get to exercising, everyone. :carrot:

A new month...Hmmm. I'm less excited about this one.

32 mins treadmill (300 cal)
Upper body training.

52 minutes - The Firm: Bootcamp

Good workout today and a great start to the month!

Baffled - get that energy up! Its a WHOLE NEW MONTH! WOOOOO!

OK, yeah, not really feeling it either. Ah well.

50 min elliptical.

my new plan - swim or bike 3 days week (30mins cardio, walk to pool to warm up, few mins cooldown/stretches)
brisk walk on other 3 days, with warm up and cool-down
flexibility stretches - 10mins a day (must stick to this! I am not going to develop the spine and muscle probs my family have!)
i' devised this using the article 'fitness fundamentals', which is a sticky on this forum. it's very good. it taught me that i wasn't warming up and cooling down properly, making my body enter into cardio unprepared. i've been on plan for a week now. exams are over so it's all go! walking will easier when i'm home cos we keep corgis and they (well one of them) is a great walker x

17 mins treadmill, 17 mins elliptical; 300 cals
lower body strength training (my poor quads!)

We're going away for the weekend to visit my MIL. She has a treadmill and I think I'll bring my sneaks so that I can squeeze in a run or two. The up-side of visiting MIL is that she lives in a real city with real shops! I'm a woman in desperate need of new clothes for the gym and I might just be able to buy some. Hooray!

Go baffled! Gym clothes are a good motivator. I hereby confess to once wearing pyjama shorts in the gym. Don't *think* anybody noticed....

40 minutes - Pilates

55 min on the rebounder, bouncing away. It was a compromise between "I don't want to exercise" and "I really need to move my butt"

3 mile run in the rain!

Friday I did 100 crunches (60 bicycle & 40 basic) and did 200 steps on my LTT. Y-day & today, nothing.

I've done about an hour on DDR yesterday and today. For me that's pretty darn good. Since usually I go five minutes and quit. :p I'd do more but my feet hurt. :)

45 minute fast walk at the mall - new weekend exercise is to walk and walk circles while my little boy plays in the kid area. Plus 30 minutes on my mini stair step tonight and 20 minutes weights Total 95 minutes of exercise. I'm getting started again after letting myself get out of shape, aiming for 30-45 min per day cardio, 20 min 3x week weights and abs 3-4x per week.
