I have 400 workout min to go and only 9 days to get it done! Therefore I need to workout 45min daily to meet my goal! I bought a bike so mom and I are going to do it tonight for about an hour and on thursday for just as long if not longer!

Good job on the work out girls!

Question: What is the best ab workout there is? On the floor or on the yoga ball???? How many should I do to get good results?

My ticker ran out. I guess that means that I can do 20 minutes of cardio a day. So I'm going to delete that ticker but it was very motivational so if I need it, I'll get a new one.

Abs Rebeca? ... I don't know what's best. That's probably one of those "which ever one you like and will do" questions. I do all kinds of things for abs. I think I stole some from a pilates video. I probably got some off exrx.com (it might be exrx.net) and www.stumptuous.com and from 3fc.

REbecca -- The best ab workouts are, like Susan said, the ones you like... But change is good so do some that you don't like too you'll get better results by changing your workout every few weeks......

SusanB - my ticker ran out too! I thought about adjusting my goal, and prob will - but I want to look at it all full for a couple more days.

Tonight went and played in the pool for 45 min, kept moving the whole time. According to FitDay, this is "Swimming, leisurely, not laps" and I burned almost 300 calories. Is this possible? Do I count the 45 min as exercise, or just call it something fun that I did which might have burned a few?

Seems like too much fun to count the minutes. :-)

That's really important for us to remember Mandalinn ... exercise doesn't have to formal or gruelling. It can be a fun activity. If I'm not sure if I really 'put out' for the entire time, I just adjust the time a little shorter. But even breathing just standing in chest deep water uses more calories, doesn't it?

Mandalinn -- Every minute counts :yes:

Todays exercise menu -- bike , chest , run hills .....

Ilene? Are you right there? I'm going to PM you about a thread idea?

I'm counting it - especially since I feel it in my arms today. Amazing how turning into a 6 year old in the pool (think somersaults and handstands) can do so much for the arm muscles! And I know I was moving the entire time - I can't stand still in a pool, it makes me feel like a mermaid.

This morning - 30 min stability ball, 40 min cardio on the rebounder, and 100 crunches.

I did 50 min of biciclying last night! IT was fun but my toosh is kind of sore today! I have 350 May minutes to go!

Thanks for answering my abs question!

Its another one of those days where I just want to keep doing other things. did a 20 min yoga/pilates (OW) and a 15 min ab program.

Oh dear! All I've done is bike and tried to have a nap ... dratted telephone!
Hmmm ... let me see ... what else will I do?

So I disappeared from this :( – I have been exercising an hour everyday though :) I will join back in next month and just set myself a certain amount of minutes I want to do :)

The usual hour of spinning and hour of BodyPUMP down!

Aerobics/Body Sculpt class 59 minutes, Stationary bike 10 minutes

Something else turned out to be gardening and some plain old aerobics in front of the hockey game (which turned out WRONG!)
