Morning chicas :sunny: and brrrr...it is freakin' cold out there!!
Yesterday - Weight Training - completed Today - Ab Ripper X and Treadmill Echo, glad to have you back with us. And, from my experience, ARX works to strengthen core if you do it consistently. I've been doing it 3x/week. Now, I can b!tch and whine with you about it :D. Just to see, other day I was able to hold the plank position for over 1 minute. I finally gave in cuz I got bored staying in that position :p. So, keep doing it girl!! MillieK, post away everyday...this is an accountability thread for all of us to workout aka move your body every day. Keep up the good work!! October is here people!! Pretty soon it will be holidays and food galore. So, keep moving and working hard! Have a good day :) |

Oh man! Mason Twist - I have good and bad days with it. Sometimes I can do all 50 with him. And, other times I have to break at 30 as I fall over :lol: and then continue with the rest 20. Awesome job on doing all 50!! Reverse bicycle is the debbil :devil:. I can see my legs moving yet it feels they are not...if you know what I mean. Oh, I also can do the first two exercises - in and outs + the front bicycle - with my hands in the air. I thought I'd never be able to do that. I just started it though...past 2 times. So, yeah it works :D. Oh, I still pause between some of the workouts. I don't like scissor either.
Plank, you'll be able to do it. When I said bored it was more like ok, can I relax now? I was beginning to shake a little but it felt like as if I'd been forever in that position. I could have gone 10 secs more (maybe) if I tried, I don't know. My last time was 1:21. |
Plans today = 90 minutes cardio/weight intervals
|
Have a great month LADIES!
Starting with 4 this morning. An absolute gorgeous one...clear sky...high 60's with sunshine....a nice cool breeze! Upping my goal since it looks like I will miss some work this month. 4/75 MILES |

I did 30 minutes on that mid evil torture device some people call an Elliptical. ;) |
Oh, how I love fall, but it's a difficult relationship. On the one hand, it's beautifully bright & brisk & cool & makes me feel like moving. On the other hand, it's getting darker & darker earlier & earlier, which makes it harder to hit the gym after work -- it feels so late. But I want to keep up the good work. Put it this way: I want to do what everyone else will only start resolving to do in three months' time. I am determined to make it through the consecutive health landmines presented by Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years by eating healthily & moving my body daily. Also, there's this sleeveless dress I want to wear to my friend's wedding in L.A. in late November, and I want my arms to look pretty good that night.

First workout of October: 1 16 minute mile on the elliptical, 15 minutes on the treadmill, and I took the stairs four flights back to my apartment after I was done instead of the elevator!
|
I had a bad night last night. I had a carb-binge, big time. I feel like my tummy is going to explode.
However, I did still do my exercise! I hopped on the Wii and I'm very glad I did. So, one step backwards for my eating and one step forward for my exercise. Ane one more step forward - I cleaned out the fridge and the junk food is GONE!! |
Echo-- congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment!
My October goals are to exercise at least 22 days and 1200 minutes. It will be a challenge to get it all in as I have a trip planned and a very busy time at work. October 1: 60 minutes Latin Dance class So far: 1 day 60 minutes |
:cheer3: Great start to the month everyone :cheer2:
October 1: 45 mins on my Stairmaster + 9.5 mins ab workout. Yesterday, I finished the last week of the STS program for chest & back and I can't believe how much more weight I am lifting. For example, I can now bench press 70 lbs for 4 sets of 8 reps each. Just 2 weeks ago I had a hard time using the same weight for 4 sets of 7 reps each. I needed my dh to spot me during week 2, and yesterday I had no problem lifting that weight without a spotter. |

Great work ya'll! And Echo, you are most welcome ♥
Plans today = 90 minutes cardio/weight interval training |
Morning everyone :sunny: TGIF!!
Yesterday - Ab Ripper X and Treadmill - completed Today - Weight Training and possibly walk @ work Echo, I did Kenpo once with hubby. It's a great workout. BTW, for anyone thinking about getting a pull up bar...I have recently started using Iron Gym Pull up bar. I also bought the ab straps. We just got it from a fitness store not from their site. Of course, I am doing assisted pull ups as (a) I can't reach the damn bar without a chair :lol: and (b) I don't have enough strength yet to pull myself up without help. I believe, my ARX routine has made my core a tad stronger that I can use the straps to do some ab work with the bar. I was totally shocked to find that out. I was totally expecting to not being able to do even one but I was pleasantly surprised. I do have to wait for my body fat % to go way down to notice my abs but till that happens I can get them stronger definitely ;) Keep up the wonderful hard work everyone! You guys are doing so well. |
Very nice, pintobean! :cheer3:

October 1: Nothing (had slept 4hrs out of 72 at that point. Major insomnia attack)
October 2: W3D2 of C25K (finally got a full nights sleep. W3D2 was wayyyyy easier than W3D1. I don't hate running as much as I did. Still can't imagine going on to W4 yet though. We'll see...) October 3: Nothing... (This has not been an amazing week for exercise. Must improve next week!) Mid-week weigh in was baddd!!! I spent most of the week not exercising, undereating and staying up all night = BADD!!! Not looking forward at all to tomorrow's weigh in. |
Nice job on workouts everyone! :cheer3:
|
Took Friday and Saturday off (although I did some walking and frolicking in the park on Saturday with my husband and our dog Sammy), but made it to the gym today.
1 16 minute mile on the elliptical, 30 minutes on the treadmill, and free weights. |
Fantastic Emily! :cheer2:
90 minutes cardio/weight intervals for me |
