April 2009 Exercise Accountability thread
 

Welcome to the exercise accountability thread for April 2009. Whether you walk, run, swim, cycle, bellydance, or shred, let's get it done!

:woops: :trampo: :belly::running: :lifter: :bike2: :strong: :swim: :exercise:

This thread is to keep us accountable and keep us motivated and above all to keep us moving! All are welcome, and feel free to join the thread at any time. Some people post a goal for the month, some just keep track of what they do every day. It's not important how you do it, we just need to do it!!

Let's get moving chickies!! :flow1: :carrot: :flow1: We can do it ONE day at a time!!! :carrot:

I'm new here, so I hope I'm doing this right.

My goal is to get into a regular routine of some sort and just exercise at least three days a week for this month. I got out of the habit of regular exercise and it's been tough to get back to it. Next month, four days a week.

Today, I managed to walk two miles. Not much, but it's better than nothing :)

I'm going to try to workout 5 days a week this month

4/1 Turbo Sculpt 30 min
Turbo Jam 20 min workout 20 min

I join in on this. I have a bad back, a bad neck from falling down some stairs and my knees are bad also, but I have an awesome park only a mile or so from me with a real pretty 1/2 and 1 mile walking/jogging path. I can barely make the 1/2 mile right now. But by the end of April I want to be able to make the full mile. I will be walking at least 5 days a week after I drop my son off at school.
1-- 1/2 mile walk :)
2-- X
3-- 1/2 mile walk
4-- X had to work
4-- 1/2 mile plus
5-- 1/2 mile plus
6-- X
7-- 1/2 mile
8-- 1/2 mile plus
9-- 1/2 mile (almost 3/4)
10-- X skipped, got caught up in house work
11-- X gotta work, but I'll do more than a mile photographing a wedding on the beach
12-- 1/2 mile plus

Howdy all! I just joined 3FC after lurking for a bit ...

I am training for triathlon, but I"m not following a formal training program yet, although I keep meaning to sit down and figure it out (it's complicated by a foot injury issue that I think I'm finally kicking out the door).

4/1 - 20 min swim; walk/ 10-minute jog/walk workout
4/2 - skipped a.m. workout :( - 25 minute walk/jog/walk workout tonight

4/3 - plan is a.m. swim or jog; p.m. bike (if it's not raining) or pilates/core work if it is raining. Normally I'd lift weights on Fridays, but I have a lunch meeting.

The same goal as usual, except I'm putting it down in writing here, so I can see it: To get in at least an hour of exercise every day, and on those days when I can't get in an hour, to do whatever I can, be it 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes ....

2: One hour bike
3: 45 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes rowing
4: Ran 4 miles, 15 minutes dumbbells

22: One hour bike (Again ... Larry Ellison, you cannot screw up my workout routine.)
