50 min bike ride this morning. And now i'm going outside to do a bunch of yard work. Should burn a bunch more with that...and i'll prob take the mutt for a walk tonight
15 mile bike ride with bf this morning, 550 calories.
It was the same ride as last weekend except that today it took 20 minutes longer and was horrible, horrible, horrible. There was a *hellish* headwind and climbing up hills into a really strong wind was NOT fun. I could have walked faster up those bloody hills. And despite going so darn slowly, my legs are KILLING me, which has never happened after a ride before.
baffled...how long does in normally take to do 15m? just curious since i don't have a speedometer/milage thing on my new bike. I biked 50 min today and want to get an idea...however, i didn't have a headwind...that must suck. I discovered today however, i'm totally out of shape when it comes to biking. I can hike forever, but i was exhausted with 50min. good for you on 15 miles.
i added more to my exercise today. I did 2 hrs of yard work. 1.15 hr cutting the lawn (and i was sweating a ton). and then i did some raking. So i know i burned more calories. DH and i also spent an hour rearranging furniture and moving a few pieces up stairs and a few downstairs...so i got my weightlifting in for the night LOL
if my legs hold up...after dinner i'll walk the dog.
Gatorgal: today the 15 miles took 1 hour 20 minutes, last week it took an hour.
You can go to mapmyride.com and put in your route to find out the distance. It's quite handy. Other people have saved their bike routes so that you can find new rides to do, and you can map your own ride out in advance. It's neat.
well did a 45 min walk..i mapped it out and it cam to about 2.5 miles..however i think it was a bit more since part of my corse wan not on a paved area (wooded area). Then i did 15 min ab routine. So i feel great this am. May do some yoga tonight to stretch everything out
Did a 2.5 mile walk with my "personal trainers" down to their vet to get some ear medicine for one of them. Just finished 2 treadmill miles and 30 minutes of weights.
gary hope the "personal trainer's" ears are feeling much much better now that you got some meds.
i was going to work out again tongiht...but dh dragged me to home depot It took 2 hrs for him to decide on everything. So we ate dinner way too late for a walk. But i may do a little yoga stretching later..we'll see
