EXERCISE Accountability October 2008.
Hi everyone! Happy Fall! Only a couple of months left before the Holidays! I KNOW you want to look fabulous in your Holiday outfits!!!!
Get to exercising!!!! :lifter: :ebike: :swim: :exercise: :woops: :running: |
I've been in such a funk lately and I REALLY want to start October off right by trying to get in some sort of exercise at least 4 to 5 days a week. ( Every single day would be ideal) Even if it's only 30 minutes a day. Soooo today I did 2 Mile WATP. Hey, it's a start....
|
It's more than I've done so far today! ;)
My weigh-ins are on Mondays and so far I've managed to exercise everyday! :dancer: |
I went on the ellipitical for 45 minutes today, along with 20 minutes of each weight training and yoga.
|
Today - 60 min elliptical (10 warmup, 40 HIIT, 10 cooldown. I sweated so hard I literally had salt crystals on top of my collarbones. Is it wrong to be proud of that?)
30 min AM Yoga |

Walked around most of every day while I was in Paris, for a week; rented a bike in Versailles and biked for an hour or so with Mom (highly recommended, btw); went on a 20-minute run one day, and some French joggers totally checked me out :D ; did a battlefield tour in Northern France and walked less, but walked downtown to get dinner still. The only day I didn't do anything was the 24th, when I flew back, spent 2 hours getting to the airport, 3 hours waiting to board the plane, and 9 hours on the plane (long day, but I was too tired to exercise!). 25 - (Recovering from jet lag) Walking to the market and back; walking to grocery store and back, total about an hour 26 - 3 x 10 min intervals running on the treadmill 27 - Bike to work and back, about 50 min; and 45 min BoSu class at the gym that totally kicked my butt 28 - Bike to work and back, about 50 min; about 20 min walking 29 - Stability ball class at the gym (snow was forecast, since it's colder than usual, so I didn't bike today--I still need to buy a mountain bike for winter) and the instructor kicked my butt. And, to my mortification, mocked me when I couldn't hold the core position even though I working hard with great form. "And if anyone cheats, we're doing another set of 8!" Hahaha, mortifiyingly hilarious... 30 - Bike to work and back, about 50 min; 45-min hi/low class at the gym, which was a total butt-kick 31 - Bike to work and back; about 20 min walking (Note for the curious: I'll be on vacation from October 10 to 24 and probably won't be updating my exercise if I do manage to find internet access. But I intend to be walking most places when I'm gone, and I'll be thinking of this thread and all of you while I'm walking off my vacation food!) |
My goal for Oct is 1100 minutes
Oct 1 Aquacize class 55 minutes dustcatcher |

|
4.6 miles today.
40 minutes was HIIT on the treadmill. :) 20 was warm up and cooldown 35 more was walking home from the GYM up and down Hills looking at beautiful mountains. |
I'm new to this...what does HIIT mean? :?:
|
High Intensity Interval Training. I didn't see a sticky on it, but I know there are lots of threads. Basically, you exercise for about 20 minutes: warm up for 5, then go at your absolute max (not saving any energy, because, y'know, it's only 15 minutes at this point) for about a minute....then go at an easier pace for a minute or two...then at your absolute max for a minute... and so on.
If you really go at your max, you will be *exhausted* at the end of this session. And apparently the benefits last longer than regular exercise does. For me the main benefit is: only being on a gym machine for 20 minutes, because the machines make me crazy in a way that running in the great outdoors doesn't. :) |
