Exercise Accountability - Nov 2007
 

Well I sure started off this month with a negative BANG! But it was so yummy!! :) Not to get down off to the gym soon! For at least 30 mins of cardio

45 mins of turbo jam and two 20 minute walks with my dog!

LOL yes Diva, it does count as exercise! I live on a second floor apartment myself and when I take the bags out of my car it's a work out to say the least. When I first moved into this apartment the first month or so I was soo sore. I've definitely toned up some. I just ordered some videos from beachbody and I ordered Slim in 6 and their Hip Hop Abs dance series :carrot: and I already have the Turbo Jam videos and some of the yoga booty ballet videos as well. So I am reaffirming my commitment this month to exercising starting in the morning. It's 11pm at night now and if I worked out now the people below us for sure would hear me lol.

Thursday - 1 hour gym

Friday - 1 hour swimming.

This does seem to be a much quieter thread than usual

Today - 1 hour gym - circuit and 15 minutes each on the bike and the arc trainer (or the devil machine as I think it should be known).

subbing since I seem to have lost my motivation to push play and I need to be accountable somewhere

10 min warmup run (100)
FBWO (224)

Swimming one hour.

47 minutes - Bollywood Dance Workout
15 minutes - Arms Workout

Where is the thread for Nov Monthly Challenge?
 

:carrot:

Could someone direct me to the November Monthly Challenge? I thought this month I would join it and I can't find the thread today.
My commitment for each day this coming month is 60 minutes of exercise/activity.

November 1: 70 minutes(Treadmill 30 minutes, light housework)
November 2:65 minutes(Lower and upper body weights, Treadmill)
November 3:180 minutes (painted in kitchen, fall housecleaning)
November 4:30 minutes (still working on that kitchen!)
November 5: 90 minutes (fall housecleaning and treadmill)

:carrot:

I'm going to commit to 600 min of cardio this month. I am also hoping to get strength training in ~ with Thanksgiving at my house...UGH I don't know how much I will get to the gym.

One hour gym. It was a workout where everything just went so well...

May I come in and play?

I gave myself the challenge of doing one of my videos every day this month. Since boobalah is now joining me, I have had to go back to the 1 & 2 mile WATP. However, he tore something in his calf Saturday morning and had to drop out. I think he'll be able to rejoin me by Wednesday.

Today I did the WAT Waist with the belt.

I did the complete 5 mile workout with the belt, stretchie and weights yesterday.

We helped my DD move on Saturday. Poor boobalah was wearing an ace bandage but he did it. He did have to take some Advil in the afternoon.

30 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 4 Workout 1
30 minutes - Arms Workout

We did the Fast Firm workout with the stretchie. It's a good firming workout.

Yesterday was supposed to be a gym workout, but when I got there, I wasn't that focussed, so gave it 20 minutes and gave up. Went for half an hour walk after dinner, so that still counts!

10 min warm-up run (100 cals)
FBWO - heavy day (392 cals)

40 minutes - Treadmill (3.31 miles)

30 minutes eliptical....

45 minutes walking.

Great walk today 4.5 miles.

Had some cramping during my run today so I cut it short. Hound and I ran 2 miles (195 cals).

We did the Fat Burner Walk with weights this morning. Well, boobalah used the weights. We have to get my ankle weights out of the scuba kit so I can hold those.

I finally got myself going! 30/600 min.

30 minutes - Couch to 5k Week 4 Workout 2 (2.62 miles)
15 minutes - Abs Workout

One hour gym - 15 bike, 15 cross trainer, 30 circuit

We did the 3 mile express WATP this morning. 45 minutes

15 mins stationary bike
FBWO

45 minutes swimming. I gave up out of sheer frustration after the lap pool was invaded by kids.

I think Gary posted in the maintainers thread that he's out of town for a few days.

Is a gazelle like an elliptical runner? If so, it is likely to burn a few more calories than the stationary bike. Because you use the bike sitting sitting down, I've noticed that you have to work much, much harder to get your heart rate up than you do on a treadmill or elliptical. Nevertheless, whichever you like better and will use more will burn more calories in the long run. :)

We did the 30 minute WATP Abs this morning.
