Woohoo sct, that is GREAT!!! :carrot::cheer3:

And woohoo for nakedmango too :D :cheer2::cb:

walked for an hour this morning before work and did a mile and a half on the treadmill tonight. I always do curls with hand weights while on the TM, 50 per hand/arm.

Awesome Cindy!!!!!!! :cheer::cheer3::cheer2:



PS - I really feel like a weakling, I can barely do 10 pounders :o ;)

Time to set my September goals.
I met my August goals so I'm going to increase Septembers just a tad (considering there is one less day in September....)

My goals are to work out 24 days AND 1300 minutes in September (my goals for August were 22 days and 1200 minutes).

So far....

September 1: none
September 2: 65 minutes spinning class
September 3: 60 minutes hip hop class
September 4: 45 minutes running on treadmill
September 5: 45 minutes elliptical

Total: 4 days
215 minutes

Awesome !!!!
Great goals too :carrot:


Along with my other workout earlier...
This evening we walked up to the park, walked the track and then walked home. 2 miles or so ?

Everyone is kicking butt.
I got mine kicked today - lol.
W6D1 - done. The last interval was hard because I increased my speed from 3mph to 3.5mph. 2.25 total miles in 40 mins.
After a short break I did 17 mins HIIT - incline at 15, 10 and 5 between 2 and 3mph. Did last 2 mins at no incline but 4mph.
Hard to breathe. Thought for sure I would did - lol.
Ready for day 2 - woohoo.

Morning :sunny:

Yesterday - Walk @ work and weight training - complete.

Today - Ab RipperX and Treadmill

Michelle, you shouldn't feel like a weakling. I totally understand how you feel as I cannot lift a lot either but by consistent lifting we build endurance, muscle and strength so you can lift more and more. You'll get there eventually. That's what I keep telling myself :). Just make sure, when you're able to do more reps/set with the same weight (for example, for biceps, if you were doing 8 reps/set @ 10lb but now you can do 10 reps/set @ 10lb) then you can switch the weight size. Just don't hurt yourself (like I did) and make sure your form is correct. It is very easy to hurt yourself when doing weight training.

I think I hurt my right arm during one of the routines. I don't know whether it happened during bicep curls or pull ups. I iced and took some advil yesterday but it still hurts. So, I'm thinking it is not inflamed but something else is going on. We'll see.

Everyone, keep up the good work. I'm so happy you guys are all working hard here. Keeps everyone in check and motivated :)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WSChick and Michele and borntobefine :cheer::carrot::cb::cheer3:
