To Everyone - what's your favorite floor exercise and what's your least?
My favorite is crunches because I can feel them.
My least is inner leg lifts when they're burning, but it's an area I need to tighten up on.
Man you got me thinking I like most of them cause I know without them I would .....well i willl not go there.lol I guess my least favorite would be (forgive me I do not know the proper name) the ones where you look like a dog peeing. ..lol I asked for forgiveness in advance remember. If I had to pick 1 it would be oblique crunches I guess cause I am usually burning after these and they are what help to shrink my waist
Just wanted to check in before I head to bed. I'm exhausted, with all the excercise I've done today... But it felt great, I feel strong and powerful, and that's why I LOVE exercise.
My calorie count was a little high today around 2100... Would have been 1800 right on the button, but my roommate made cup cakes, and after my soccer game tonight I was so hungry I ate one.
But at least I just had one! It didn't lead to a binge or anything, and I don't feel too full or not full enough, right now I feel just right.
Hello! My legs don't hurt as much as they did last week I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing! It's probably because I went kickboxing and that squeezed out all the nasy achy stuff from my sore legs!
Er.. floor exercises - I suppose jumping burpees with press-ups since it's a full body exercise!
Had a good exercising day yesterday, had a reasonably good eating day too, probably a little high on carbs, but not terrible. I even had a small bowl of ice cream at 10pm, but it was in a 1C bowl and I probably only had 1/4C, since I'm just trying to eat a little less. It's good enough to have a 1/4C and be satisfied.
Today is rest from weights, however I might go to the gym and run on the dreadmill if my gym buddy is going - she hasn't been Mon, Tues, but I have. I will go with her to show willing!
Got my walk in. Our tub stillisn't draining so no showers today just sponge baths. i am gonna feel yucky today. We have to go out in this cold today to get my DD braces looked at . I don't wanna............... I tried to change the appointment but htere is nothing until next month
Just a quick hello!!! Hope everyone is doing well. Today I have to sign my daughter up for kindergarden and then off to visit for a bit with my MIL and SIL and then home to cook dinner and the gym tonight. I have not been too good with the eating the last couple of days but as of right now I am moving on and making today a good day and the rest of the week also for that matter. I will get this eating thing in check or my bathing suit is going back and in its place full body armor is going to be bought Well that is it for me today. Have a good one ladies!
148 today! (Oh so grateful to reinforce "the 140s".) I'll be ready for that doctor's office scale if my clothes weigh less than 2 pounds! (but I will take off my shoes).
"It's the cardio" discussion - hmmm... ...maybe it is? I did the video walking workout Monday afternoon, now I'm down a pound.
Favorite floor exercise - the names are all so different depending upon the discipline. So I guess I'll go along with Susan B and mention videos instead - I certainly remember a lot of the moves she's probably talking about. The newest "Ladybug" T-Tapp video is probably my fave right now because it's my shiny new toy and kicks my rear. But it includes the Pilates position in which you make a thin "V" out of yourself seated on your bottom, holding calves, legs straight up and balance there. I am SO graceful at that ! NOT! Don't know if it qualifies as least favorite - least capable?
Hi, I am being lazy this morning... In bed with my coffee.
Oh yes excercise. My favorite and least favorite is the squat. Its my favorite because its such a great excercise and its my least favorite because I have one weak knee and sometimes I over do and it gets all owie like. I am working on my form. I really want to get down low but when I do my knee starts talking.
Floor excercise videos. I don't own this but got out of the library a few years ago. The NY City ballet workout. You can pretend to be graceful and if no one is watching then noone will ever know. I am as gracefull as one of those beautiful ballerinas. I have to be listen to that music it is so Beee Youuu Teee fulllllll.
My plans are simple since I'm just getting into the swing of things. Keep my eating under control (I have an old Richard Simmons Food Mover that I'm using) and make sure to drink at least 32 ounces of water. Yeah that's only half of what you need but I usually drink a bunch of other stuff and almost no water. So far so good.
One thing I did was buy a bag of my favorite snack food, divide it into individual serving size baggies, and made my hubby hide it from me. If I still have the calories available at the end of the day, he gets me a bag. That way I have to be accountable all day and I won't eat it all in one or two sittings!
It snowed this morning in Southern New Jersey. I'm hoping our dance class won't get canceled tonight - the studio owner is a snow weenie. We only had 2 inches last time and she shut down.
Today, I added leg lifts to my bicycles, crunches, and girlie push-ups. I also couldn't resist doing my Wednesday morning weigh in - I was trying to hold off till two weeks, but the scale kept calling. Of course, it didn't go down. But it didn't go up, so that's something to be happy with.
I am looking forward to a time when my husband has a job near our house and can move back from his week day apartment up near NYC. He has a great cardio machine where you slide your feet forward and back. It's not stressful on my joints.
Canadian mom - they're called 'fire hydrants' and now that I remember them, they're my LEAST favorite floor exercise.
Hikerchick - No, I don't think I'll be running or jogging any time soon. I just hate it. Plus it's really hard on my knees.
Hello all
well I braved the cold and walked the dog this afternoon, also on my feet most of the day at work so I feel like I got a work out. I can't do to many exercises right now due to a bad knee so I am focusing on the ones the PT gave me and walking, trying to avoid surgery. Hope everyone had a nice day!
Well, I've gone to the gym twice this week, but was commuting/working from 7:30-7:00 today, so it didn't happen. I've also been eating more fruits and veggies and less junk food. My moms back with us though, and she is a chip fiend, so now the will power must kick in.
I lost 1 lb! But how do I move my little pig on my weight ticker. Can someone tell me or direct me to the information? Much thanks!
.....well i willl not go there.lol I guess my least favorite would be (forgive me I do not know the proper name) the ones where you look like a dog peeing.
..lol I asked for forgiveness in advance remember. If I had to pick 1 it would be oblique crunches I guess cause I am usually burning after these and they are what help to shrink my waist
I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing! It's probably because I went kickboxing and that squeezed out all the nasy achy stuff from my sore legs!
.....Later all
