Featherweights Need to Exercise too! Apr 23-29
 

Would you skip a day of exercising if you knew some fellow posters were following your progress?
If you promised in this thread to lift weights twice this week ... could you miss one day?
That's either accountability or blackmail ;)
Either way ... let's move Featherweights!

How about six walks and two lifting days?

Today: Boot Camp class, 6:40 p.m.

Wednesday: Kickboxing, 6 p.m.

Thursday: Strength

Saturday: Either Boot Camp or Step (depends on how early I wake up!)

Righty ho, well today I have run a mile on the treadmill, then tonight I will teach my little babies how to beat each other up. - BIG TICK

Tuesday I will go to the gym and lift heavy stuff - BIG TICK

Wednesday I will go to the gym and lift heavy stuff - BIG TICK

Thursday I might go to the gym and lift heavy stuff (couldn't, was out with work), I will also spar for nigh-on 2 hours - BIG TICK

Friday I will partake in the private lesson of **** - we are trying to impress spectators and it leaves me sweaty and exhausted and glowing! :goodvibes: - BIG TICK

Count me in!!

MWF Weights
T/Th/S 30 minutes on the treadmill

I won 2 months of cardio kick boxing at a charity auction (I was the only bidder...hmmm...), so I'll call and try to get in to at least one of those this week.

Good luck all!!

Running: 3 times
Biking: daily
Gym: 4 times
Swimming: twice

That's my plan and I'm sticking to it... Biking and the gym already done today :D ...

I'm going to keep track of it this way:

Running: 0/3
Biking: 1/7
Gym: 1/4
Swimming: 0/2

DH walked with me this morning. Very nice! I've gone over my ticker for April so I guess I'd better start a new one.

Well, I'm great at exercise and not so great at diet, so this is a planning thread I'll love! (I've completed all the activities in italics.)

This week we have

M 45 minute run LBWO

T UBWO + abs core stuff

W 45 minute run

TH UBWO

Sunday 6 miles (I hope)

Recenlty I have been hearing a small rebelious voice saying "What are you doing to me?" Body speaking up kind of confused that it is supposed to be running and lifting heavy objects continually.

So this thread is really good I need that little bit of cheering on or blackmail or whatever just to make sure I keep the pace.

Lets go do crazy things! Heave ho!

Thanks Susan, this is what I need.

I'm going day by day here. Tomorrow I will go to the gym for a short workout before work! I will do this!!

Whittlin- I just realized your almost at goal, congrats!! How are you finding those last few pounds to be?

Well, it is 5:30 am and I am up and in my workout cclothes, got everything ready the night before. So, I figure if I do short workouts, about 40min, I'll be less inclined to be exhausted throughout the day. Anyway wish me luck!

Dana

sodiumlightbaby: 5:30 AM.....are you nuts! You make me tired just thinking about getting up at 5:30. Do you always work out that early? What time do you go to bed at night? Maybe I need to become a morning person to get motivated!

When the kids were young I got up at 4:30AM got to the gym for 5AM to be back home for 6:45AM for hubby to go to work.... It AIN'T easy but it can be done... I used to go to bed no later than 10PM, 9 was better even...

Hey Michelinwoman. I guess I am a bit nuts but it's the only time I can work out. I don't have anyone to watch my daughter in the evenings. I like working out in the mornings, you don't have a chance to procrastinate and then it's over and done with. You should try it a couple times and see how you feel, you start the day off right and feel really good about yourself.
I have to go to bed by 10:30 though. That's not the crazy part, the crazy part is working with infants for 8 hours afterwards.

Today went really well. I was trying to find a balance where I am not too exhausted to work and then pick up my daughter at the end of the day. I walked for 15 mins to get to the gym and then I did 15 mins strength training, 20 mins of cardio and 10mins of stretching. Afterwards I walk another 15 mins to the metro. I felt good, not too tired and I don't dread doing it tomorrow. Which, by the way, is tomorrows goal. Hit the gym again tomorrow!
