It's not much but I got a mile walk in. Not too bad on a messed up ankle. ;)

Workout Done!!
 

I got my FIRM WAVE workout in this morning!! WOOHOO!!

good job guys! every little bit counts. I gave my knees a break and rode the bike for 45 minutes this evening! :)

Rock It Off - FIRM WAVE! I almost died, but I made it through!!

Hope there is room for another here. I need some motivation to keep up with my exercise routine and would love a place to post for accountability and motivation :)

:)
 

I think there's plenty of room!! WELCOME!!:D

I have the Jillian Michaels 30-day shred and I also do the EA Active with my Wii. I have a gym membership but haven't been able to get there in the last few weeks I am hoping that I will be able to start back this week.. :)

after running errands after work ran home and changed and got on the elpitical for a while. Just trying to do something everyday. Even managed to turn down a drink to celebrate with my sis. after working my butt off i was not willing to drink away all those calories i'd just burned! :D a minor victory but definitely feels good.

March 1- nothing...whoops
March 2- nothing. trying to figure out when to go to the gym now that classes have started. bah

:)
 

45 minutes on the Gazelle, then weights!! Almost wimped out today, but knowing I needed to post here made me think twice!! Thanks girlies!! :hug:

happymamma- me too. I did not feel like doing anything today. Late day at work, but did the eliptical for 45 minutes. Working on finding a gym to join for spinning classes but for now the "gym" at my apartment is working fine.

today i did 45 minutes on the treadmill, & some light leg workouts!

I did an hour of cardio at the gym I signed up for today...felt good but man it was hard work...guess that means it is working...


:)

Going tomorrow to check out the new gym that is just a few blocks from my house. Can't wait. :)

Bumping this up from the second page. But if it falls a second time, that will mean it's turning out not to be of much use to anyone but me -- if so, I'll save my accountability for my laptop, rather than the forum.

I do something every day except Thursday. If the weather allows, then I bicycle for 30-45 minutes. If not, then I walk around 1 or two blocks, depending on what my back will allow. And I try to be a little more active when I'm around the house, hoping that even a few extra steps all add up.

I am just 2 1/2 weeks into all of this, so I am taking it a little easy and just add more as I am able to. Maybe someone else will be helped to know you can start small and work your way up. I only exercise until I get my heart rate up a bit, never until I am dying the next day! If it isn't fun, then I know I won't stick to it.

Today I did aerobics for 45 minutes.

45 minute treadmill run with strength training

45 minutes on the treadmill, and was able to run 1 1/2 miles without stopping which may not be a lot to most but I had knee surgery back in July so it is a BIG deal for me! :)

I think this thread may be done, but I'm bumping it once more. I know I said I wouldn't, but I have. Bad me.

This week, i did 4 miles walking and 8 miles biking.

I am rededicating my intention to exercise. Did a pilates dvd today.
