Keep track of your own monthly exercise here! (November)
 
During my cardio one day I was thinking how interesting it would be to know how many minutes I exercise in the period of a month.

So I am posting my exercise minutes daily in this threat and you are welcome to keep your data here too, so we can keep ourselves motivated.

I started it last April and I was shocked to learn that in 3 weeks I worked out over 3,000 minutes!!!!

What a motivation!!!
It has helped me to keep going, because I want to see the minutes go up each day in this threat.

You can even break the months down and learn how many minutes you worked out each week (and use the info to analyze your weight loss in that period) or maybe after 12 months you could add all the numbers you’ve got monthly and see how many minutes you exercised during the whole year.

You don’t really have to post every day, as long as you keep track of the minutes from previous days and post it at once. It is up to you...

* Make sure you get your minutes from your OWN last post.

You can see my threat from October here:
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/exer...e-october.html

This month I will start doing it different. I’ll now also keep track of each kind of exercise I do. So I will be describing my activity too.

:wl: Let’s do it!!! :boxing:

How is everyone doing? I had my most intense zumba class today - the other two teachers I attend aren't quite as high energy or jumpy as this instructor is, but she really motivates me. At first I didn't like her barky style, but I'm getting used to it. Turbo Kick tomorrow, and weights hopefully!

Hi fitkristi!
Tell you the truth, I don't like instructors that push too hard on cardio exercises. I don't mind weights or even spinning though... But any other hard cardio just pushes me away from exercising!!!
But some people can do it and I give them lots of credit for it!

fitkristi 11-03-2010 06:38 PM

I actually left her class after 10 minutes the first time I went - vowing to never attend her class again! But I gave it another try because her class is ALWAYS packed - so I figured there must be something there.

niafabo 11-03-2010 07:48 PM

Thanks ladies!:hug:

The way I figured it...I could spend all day lying on the floor in a pool of my own tears while the dog looks down on me with pity and licks up my tears or I could get up...and LIVE!!! I chose to LIVE...besides working running is a major stress reliever for me. Who knew? LOL:p

fitkristi 11-08-2010 07:47 PM

@joyfullloser - I'm so sorry for you loss. Good for you for jumping back in!

I had my big workout day today, with two classes back to back. I need to eat a granola bar or banana or something in between because I kind of ran out of steam toward the end of the 2nd class (turbokick).

Thank you and I too am sorry for your loss:hug: My brother's death was completely unexpected as well...it makes you think and appreciate life more...once you see how truly fragile it really is. Running has really helped me a great deal...I love it...used to run outside, but with the cold weather here, I just bought a treadmill...great for the mind and body!:carrot:

downerbeautiful 11-10-2010 06:04 AM

Sold! This sounds like a great idea, especially because I'm a slacker, haha... My goal is to attend 13 more group classes between now and the end of the month. Wish me luck~

2: 1 1-hr class
7: 45 min run/abs
9: 30 min elip, 1 1-hr class
10: 1 1-hr class
Good exercise everyone!

Jojo381972 11-10-2010 11:04 AM

sorry about both of your losses joyfulloser and jenjen! It must be hard to get back on track after that, but so happy you bought a treadmill!

--
I'm working out hard at the gym, every second day. Today I'm doing 45 mins on the epiliptical. I have been running/walking intervals and have built up to jogging for 2 mins and walking for 1 min for 20 mins, then doing 40 mins on the epiliptical. I'm also doing weights. Today will be biceps/triceps/shoulder workout with 8-10 pound weights. :)

Weird thing is I feel like I've gained weight, (ill know tomorrow), I think it is because I am putting on some muscle and I know for a while I'll feel bigger until I lose a bit more weight. Happy working out!
Congrats all on keeping track this month!

Thanks, jojo & joyfulloser. :hug:

It was tough getting back into a routine at first. It's funny, because we were forever swapping clothes. One of our weights would go up, and the other's would be down. I have so many clothes in my closet that were hers, or that were mine, hers, then mine again. She was on the smaller side when she died and had just bought a ton of new clothes. I picked out things that I would wear and my mom is holding them for when I can fit into them. I'm hoping that will be soon.

Now... to all of you who had lost someone recently and are back in the exercise routine:
You are in the very least an inspiration!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us... It will help us to keep ourselves on track. Well, at least will help me, because I will think: If they, who are going through this difficult time of their lives can do it, I should not even think about not coming exercise.
Be strong chicks!!!
