MyBMI is 26.3, I'd love to be 24..and at my goal of 150 it would be 23.3
Oh no, my tape would just be for friends and family.......

Now girls, I'm not talking about having a rock-hard tooshie or anything! It's just that the fact is,I have a LOT of fat to lose, and I don't like the way it jiggles around when I attempt to jog - it's actually a distraction! :lol:

Fiona

Fiona - We know you want to jog in Daisey Dukes with a trail of male joggers 'behind' you and DD.... :lol:

I'm leaving now to go and tan. Have to have some color for my trip to CA on the 14th becuz milk white burns easy... ;)

:rofl:

Fiona

Morning you fit chicks!
Wanted to post here early becuz our closing is at 11:30 and I'll be leaving and need to get some stuff done here before that.
Ok - you chicks are gonna be so proud of me. I actually paid attention to the numbers and facts on the Polar Life Fitness treadmill while on it this morning. It was my cardio day - gotta love cardio day. Anyhow the incline was at 3.5, the speed to maintain my THR was 3.8 it took me 15.49 minutes to go one mile and I burned 130 calories........So I don't know that this means anything to anyone, but I just wanted to be alittle more like you 'stat' chicks.
Fiona - in the post above your icon has been doing bicycling all night - she/he must be tired by now......lol

Star - now, do you keep an exercise log, or do you just keep all these stats in your head?

Julie - I keep everything in my day planner. Each day I workout I put a big aqua blue X on that day......use to use pink, it is very colorful.....I also keep my weight in there. The other stuff like which day is cardio, weights, my target heart rate - I just know all that stuff......I only do the big colorful X's so I can see how much I work out everytime I have to use my day planner......it's like a motivation/reward feeling thing. ;)
For my stats today, I just made a mental note....

Where are my fit chicks?
I didn't work out this morning. I'm meeting the PT at the gym today at 12:30. He's gonna go over the new Lady Apex machines with me; order, weights, etc. It will be nice to see him since the last time I saw him was about 7 months ago. Want to see if he makes any comments on my progress or lack of....lol
Tomorrow will be working out with the movers....here's hoping they are big, strong and good looking.....

Star-I'm here....still no arm exercises....keep after me so I get started!!! I have been walking about 4.75 miles a day/at least days a week, so I feel great about that. Let us know how it goes with the PT.

Jen

Jen - How many days a week do you walk? That is quite the distance - you go girl!
Get on those dang arm exercises! I have found the under the arm (wings) are the hardest place to lose the fat, jiggle, cellulite, etc. I have been working them for a year now, have made BIG improvement BUT still not happy with the look.......
On a brighter note, arm exercises are hard to do just time consumming.....

Star-I'm walking 5 or 6 days a week. I plan at least one off day, sometimes 2 if my body is telling me I need a rest. Thanks for the push on the arms, will need to get busy. Hopefully tonight. I'm planning 30 minutes on elliptical at the gym and then 3 miles when I get home.

I think it is a good thing that I was forced to return to the gym. They have elipticals too and I do that for part of my cardio. Also find that I work hard on that than the treadmill.
I think we need atleast one day off,mine usually comes on a weekend- IF not both days. That is one real plus of 'regular' exercise, a day off here and there is no harm.
Even if I plan or want to work out seven days a week, things just come up. Therefore the regularity really comes in handy for those days....

Hi - I'm here -
Just did my cardio and lower body - I sweat the water I drank.. .

About rest days - all that I'm reading is that we should take at least one day a week of complete rest - our body uses the rest time to repair so it can get stronger. This is also supposed to be true with using weights - the muscles actually tear during the exercises, and it takes 48 hours for them to repair. (except for abs, they seem to only take 24 hours. .) of course, all my info is gleaned from various forums, but this info seems to be consistent.

Jen - that's quite a lot of miles! How long does it take you to do it? About the arms - are you going to try to do it with a tape, or at the gym?

Julie, Your right about the rest between same muscle group exercise (weights). You can do cardio everyday, same with abs. And who wouldn't want atleast one day off a week? Oh maybe Jack Lalane.....lol
hey, do you like my new ticker?

Star-I noticed your new ticker has you at goal...that's great!!!!
