Burpees, jump rope. Not nearly coordinated enough for either yet.

Yoga is frustrating me right now because I'm not as flexible as I would like, but I don't hate it. Yet. :)

count me in for aerobics classes too, including step. The more tired I am, the more uncoordinated I get. That's why I've become a big fan of spin class. :)

The thing is that I never feel like I get a good workout because I spend so much time milling around laughing and trying to catch up to what the coordinated people with rythym are doing.

I couldn't agree more! ;) I also hate yoga and pilates. I just never feel like I'm actually doing anything more than stretching and how can you lose weight doing that?

sacha ~ thanks for the link, I've never done them but they look horrible!

Running. Ugh.
I also hate the StairMaster, hurts like **** and just makes me paranoid that I'm making my bum bigger.
I've never really gotten into yoga either, but I'm not flexible, so...

Mountain Climbers
Bicycle Crunches

Most everything else I usually enjoy or at least can deal with. But Mountain Climbers! Ugh!

Jumping jacks, burpies, mountain climbers, anything that I have to move fast or quickly... even dancing, too much like work for me :lol:

About :yoga: you will get better with time, and if your are NOT flexible, all the more reason to DO :yoga:...

I :love: burpees and mountain climbers!!!!! They are so fun!

joyra 01-06-2009 06:08 PM

I think the list of things I don't like is longer than what I do like!

I don't care for:
- running (though I do it sometimes, usually in short periods)
- lunges (if I can do them slowly on my own they are okay.. in videos or classes, no)
- planks / anything in plank position that requires movement
- push-ups
- bicycling on hills
- bootcamp-type workouts

Burpees look hard. I don't think I could do it.

I've actually worn my HRM the last few of my cardio yoga sessions and according to it I burn 150-200 calories per 35 minute session. Also, some of those leave me feeling it in my legs more than my attempts at strength training! (Yes, I know that probably means I need to up the resistance weight on my squats! :) )

Tricep dips and side planks. Yuck!

FB - please, please, please invest in a sports bra!!!

I know! I so need one - I put in some serious exercise time, it's ridiculous that I don't own one.

gymlee 01-06-2009 10:30 PM

Ugh burpees!!! I forgot all about those! I don't really care for step aerobics but I do it even though it's the one thing that requires coordination that I can't do even though I'm a former dancer and gymnast. You'd think I'd have no problem with it :rolleyes:

Ah yes, side plank currently falls into my aforesaid category of "whatever yoga pose I'm working on that is too hard for me still." Along with crane.

I do this strength training exercise, I have no idea what it is really called, but I refer to it as "peeing the dog". Basically, I get down on all fours and then lift my leg to the side, knee still bent...like a peeing dog. It BURNS in the hip and outer upper thigh and kind of the outside of the butt. I used to only be able to do about eight each side. I now do two sets of fifteen...but I still feel it. It is kind of a satisfying pain though... :)
