10/17
40 min weight lifting - Triceps, Chest, Shoulder, Abs
15 min stepper
20 min treadclimber
10 min sauna :) (this is my favorite part of the new gym)

Walked 1.5 miles, weights for arms, pilates, and abs workout.

Walked 2 miles out doors. Might use my Gazelle later.

:wel3fc: Maureen.... What ever speed is good for you as a beginner is the speed for you, only YOU can tell... If your heart rate was at 161 and your were feeling ok, not completely breathless, nauseus or dizzy and could still keep up a decent conversation, I think you were ok... The monitors on the machines are inaccurate, I wouldn't rely on them all that much...


Today I did some HIIT on the :tread: and a very quick chest workout...

10/18

40 min Treadmill - Lunch Hour
20 min Treadclimber - After work
10 Stairmaster

50 min elliptical (stepped my resistance up today...yay! It didn't kill me!)
40 min UB strength training, plus my ab exercises.

Now lets just hope that I continue my mindset of "ab exercises after strength training are not optional"...I have been skipping them lately. Bad Amanda. But I DID do them today (all of them, even the awful trainer-prescribed bicycle crunches), so...Baby Steps!

I did 45 minutes on the treadmill last night

Exercise Wed, 10/18
 

Elliptical: 13 minutes
Bike: 10 minutes
Treadmill: 18 minutes (just 1 mile)

I was determined to increase from my 10 minutes on elliptical. However, I couldn't do it all at once. Before I left the gym, I got on for the last 3 minutes :o

10 miles cycled on the stationary bike, it's raining out. Finished in 32:30 minutes, usually takes me that long to go 7 when biking outside.

Pilates, abs, and weights for arms.

Anyone tried jump rope lately? I am such a clod!

yesterday: rest day
today: 52 min treadmill walk (with hill intervals)

Hi everyone!

10/19
40 min w/t - biceps, back, legs, calves - lunch time
60 minutes boxing class - after work

55 min high intensity elliptical.

WTG everyone!!

Last night was my first time at the gym, and needless to say - I LOVED IT!!

I spent like 30 mins doing cardio. I included treadmill and bicycle type thing. I was tooooo short for the ellipticle!!

But then we spent the next 45 mins - 1 hour using all different kinds of machines. I ended up doing a full body work out. Then I ended it again with another 15 mins on the treadmill!

I felt great! About to leave work ( at 3 am!! ) and head back to the gym!!

Thanks for reading girls!!
