Lea Ann - I'm telling you....that's exactly why I joined this Boot Camp...just to get me back in the groove of getting up and working out. I used to fly out of bed at 5 AM and head for the gym. It had been MONTHS since I did it. Find a Boot Camp in TX; better yet, start one up in your neighborhood. I think this would be easy to start up... All this gal really did for us was
(1) run a few laps around a small parking lot
(2) some easy stretches for warm up
(3) another lap around the parking lot
(4) 10 push ups
(5) bunch of knee taps
(6) couple more laps around the parking lot
(7) using 5-8 lb weights, upper body stuff (lateral raises, front raises, military press)
(8) more laps and jumped roap
(9) using a partner we did sit ups (hold down partner's ankles) and these leg raise things where you lay down head to head, grasp arms and then raise your legs until your toes touch each others; and the third one was me laying face down, holding her ankles and swinging my legs and fat arse up and then when it got to the top she pushes them down and I just keep doing it (for a minute - each one)
(10) more upper body using 5-8 lb weights, upper body stuff (lateral raises, front raises, military press)
(11) more laps
(11) stretching - go home

Kim - glad those helped. I actually found myself going through those wrist exercises, and my wrists are fine....at least for today they are!

I'd still be facedown in the parking lot....

Liz and I finally pulled out the old "total gym" knock-off machine last night.. Boy are my arms tired!! I meant to walk the dog after the kiddos went to bed, but I was so tired I crashed.. Missed the last part of the football game, darn it!!

Tuesday, Jan 9
 

45 minutes on the treadmill (with a chest cold brewing!!)

Dan - don't forget, puppy dog needs his/her exercise too!! :-)

Joni - LOL, depends on the dogster! I try to take Dodger for a walk and by the time we are one house away, he wants me to carry him! (wimp that thinks he's a rottie)

Today - weight training, 20 min treadmill

Joni - You motivated me, I got on the treadmill both yesterday and today..............:carrot:

:drill: Boot Camp - 5:15 AM to 6:15 AM (I need some camo sweats!!)
10 minutes upper body weights at the gym

Go Lori, GO!!!!

:workout: :ebike: :woops: :strong: Joni, you fiend!

Do any of you go to "Curves"? There's a new shop opening up near our house and Liz has been thinking of going... There's a Curves-type place for guys in Albuquerque, but it's WAY across town.. Bummer for me...

I had signed up for the 3 month thing a few years ago. It was OK. Not terribly challenging, but it did get me there 3x/week for 3 months. It was good for consistency, and not feeling like you were the biggest whale next to a size 0 spandex queen.

Well, I think that's just what Liz needs.. Some consistancy.. We've found that with even just a little extra exercise, the weight comes off faster, so I think that's just what she needs... Neither of us likes to work out alone (schedules and children make it hard for us to do it together except at home), but she has a couple of friends down the street who want to start working out too, so we'll see how it goes...

I wanta join in!

walking 2 miles/day done 1/8, 1/9/07

Kayla - glad to have the company!! I feel soooooooo good when I get my exercise in!

35 minutes on treamill. Chose random setting and it was fun. I ran 3/4 of the time! 10 minutes weights

Have any of you seen the infomercial for the Fluidity bar? Well, I got it about a month ago. It's supposed to give you a "dancer's body". I have to say that I just LOVE it!!!! And that's not a usual thing for me to love exercise:) I'm still on the Beginner DVD...it's tough!

Anyway, did that last night and treadmill this morning.
