  • Z-U-M-B-A!!! its a blast!!

    I dont know about other dance classes but Zumba is REALLY fun. For me, i think its the mix of the different types of dances that interest me. Latin style salsa mixed with a little hip hop and some jamaican flare. At least thats how it is for my class! You burn a TON of calories for the hour of work

    T: (AM) spinning, (PM) run 45 minutes
    W: spinning
    Th: swim 30 minutes

    S: run 4-5 miles
    Su: swim 30 minutes
  • My exercise schedule
    This past month I have been doing spinning classes at a local gym and some basic weight lifting, toning exercises that I found in the Oxygen magazine (I am sure they are in many other places including the net for free). At any rate, I started out at 3 spin classes a week and last week I did 4 spin classes (each class is 45 minutes and I get my heart rate up to 85% -I check on my heart rate monitor.) The other days I have been doing the elliptical, and other aerobic movement machines they have at the gym-one being a machine that simulates roller blading(that I could never attempt in the street as I would fall and kill myself). I also have gotten videos for home that I will start using soon, and since there is a big snowstorm tomorrow, that will be a good opportunity.I have been going the gym 5 to 6 times a week.
    My stats are :61 years old, 5'2" (on my good days), started at 156 pounds and down to 151 in one month.Goal would be 139.
    Eating plan is one I developed myself-cut out sweets totally, limited carbs and eating alot of veggies and protein, and H2O.
    Hope this helps someone out there who is struggling to get motivated. I know that all the posts helped me immensely.
