Exercise Accountability #4 - May 2 - May 8 ...
 

Wow May already !! Where does the time go ?? Let's make this the best month ever, afterall shorts and bathing suit season is just around the corner...

Today it's legs for me :strong: ....

:coach: NEXT !!

Hi,

Lotsa biking for me! I still did not connect my bike computer, I hope it is 15 km one way to work and 15 km back (I take different routes as the hills are killng me on the way back - GPS says that I live 450m above sea level while my work is about 200m above sea level). So I guess it counts as cardio and legs. If it does not rain, I will repeat the same tomorrow combined with visit to the gym for upper body workout...

Sandy.

Today is a cardio only day - so its me and Billy Blanks in the living room at 7PM sharp!

Have fun with Billy - he certainly is a hot date. :lol:

Let's see, 30 minutes on the bike in the AM and kinda wimpy legs this afternoon (I was tired and also did them last Thursday, so ... :p ).

Meg -- You're still further ahead than moi, I didn't go to the gym at all, I went and had a snooze before the foot doctor's appointment... It ends up I have the same as you Meg Mortons Neuroma, I always wanted to be like toi!! :lol:

Oh no! What does he want you to do about it? Hopefully you were smarter than me and caught it in time so you can get fixed up without surgery. :crossed: Can you still run on it?

YES, can still run on it, thank goodness :D... He was very very surprised that, at my age :rolleyes:, I didn't have any knee, back or hip problems along with the feet problem... I really do think it's because of the weight training and my sssstrong like rrrrusssian buull legs :strong:!! My quads and hammies must be of equal strength, I've read that you need those muscles strong for running so I always make sure I get my quads and hammies and lower back too...I forgot to mention that to him... He's fitted me for orthotics, I get them next monday, wow I almost :faint: fainted when he told me the price!!... He says it may take me a few runs to get used to them but there should be no problem... Then he's going to do some kind of therapy on them I can't remember what though :lol: ... Later on he will look at me walking on a treadmill and make sure everything is in line... So I was quite impressed with him really... Are the doctors getting younger or am I getting older ?? I'm sure THEY are getting younger :yes: oh :yes: ....

Yes, Meg, Billy is hot. We had a very good time getting all sweaty together, even with DD in the room watching and laughing when I couldn't keep my leg up for the full 4 sets!

Ilene, yes, the doctors are younger - like Doogie Howser younger. It's definitely not you or me!

I hooked up with Billy again this AM. Plus I have cheer practice tonight so that should give me some good ab work, stretches and push-ups.

Tiki

Way to go on the exercise people... For a few days anyways I will be doing them vicariously through you because the allergies I thought I had has turned into a cold, YUCK!! But I'll up and at 'em by the weekend I'm sure !!

Okay Ilene, so tonight then WE are doing ab work with the cheerleaders, jumps, stretching and funky dance moves. Bet you didn't know you could "brush off the haters, pop your collar" and then "drop it like its hot" all in one dance move!

Tiki.

OUCH!! Sounds like it's gonna hurt but it'll be loads of fun, it'll help get my flexability back if anything, or kill me!

Ilene, turns out we didn't get to "Pop our Collars and drop it like its hot." We did "brush off the haters" though. Yesterday we decided to devote mos of the day to building leg strength so we did lunges, shuttle runs, and hop alongs instead. We still ended up sweaty, though.

This AM I did 45 minutes on the elliptical and worked shoulders. I was supposed to run but the jiggle in my tummy makes the new piercing hurt so I will have to refrain until it heals up a tad bit.

Yesterday - biking to work and home (2 hours 10 min total and 30 km, half uphill) - boy, after biking also on Monday did I feel tired pedalling home... Also, did UBW in the gym yesterday.
Today - I got WATP DVD as my anniversary present (way to go hubby!) - of course it was accompanied with hearty dinner in the Golf club (no, I dont' do golf, I just like their view :)) So today after 2 pounds of extra weight WATP is going to be tried at home (never even tried it before, so I am excited!)
Sandy.

I promise that I will either ride my bike tonight for 45 minutes or do Tae-Bo. Oddly enough my back is sore from my shoulder workout yesterday but my shoulders aren't.

Go figure.

Tiki

Well, I didn't ride for 45 minutes, but I did get 30 in last night. I also got up this AM and did 10 min on track, 25 elliptical and lifted for chest and triceps. New high on the triceps - #142.5!!!

Tiki

HI

I did 1 hour run monday (of which 30 mins were OUTSIDE!! this is new to me). Then tuesday, wednesday and thursday were a loss. Nothing at all.
Picked myself up again yesterday: 1 hr jog in place at howm, but I interspaced with jumping jacks to keep the heartbeat up.
Today did FBW and 30 mis jog.
I will try to do 1 hr cardio as well tomorrow.

Ran 8K......

Good job Ilene. I ran 1.5 miles, did elliptical for 30 minutes and then worked back. Oh yeah, I finally did my girlfriends Yoga Booty Ballet tape. The toning section was fine, the 60 minute cardio - toning was FUN! The cardio piece was so much like exaggerated versions of some of the dances we have done over the years it was like being in a dance line at a club. Only thing missing was my DRINK!!

Tiki.

AM: 90 min swim with Masters club (3400 m, a little more than usual);
PM: 1 hour cycling indoors.
sleeping well tonight, I think.

30 minutes on the elliptical, 15 on the bike, and a quickie chest workout before my one and only Mother's Day client. :D

10.5k.........:sunny:
