Karen - you know my two favorite things are chocolate and exercise. Hum, I guess I could start a "Chocolate" thread........
lol

30 min on the beast.. at 3.5 going up and down hill and flat ... 2 bars on the fat burning thingy.. lol I was going to try for 45 mins but someone wouldn't leave me alone.. vacations fun but not if hubbys just sitting here...lol Im thinking I may try to do the easy step tape after my food settles a bit..


Ok just did the easy steps for 20 min I think it is... right at first I thought the band was a joke but after a bit I have to say that omg it was hard...LOL Tomorrow is deep tone in the morning... my goal is to be doing something everyday...

Great goal Beth........we got to keep it moving.........
That could even be chasing DH around the house........

yeah chasing him with a :rollpin: He was working on our daughters car and he wanted a mecahnics helper.. Arrgghhh and thats not me, he should know that by now.. :lol:

its saturday i did deeptone for an hour and then the beast for 30 minl..

My deeptone instructor who used to have a big belly told me to do the beast like this....5 min warm up then every 2 min raise the incline until your all the way up then go back down the same way... OMG did I feel that even though I only made it halfway because that same person is still home on vacation until monday..

sunday...... the beast.. 3.44 miles... 78.04 min....117g fat.... 375 cals.. and throbbing legs and butt... :lol:

OK, I know the beast is some kind of exercise equipment, but what exactly? Treadmill, exercycle, eliptical trainer....What?? :D

Whatever it is, it sounds like you are kicking its butt while it kicks yours!

Morning Fit Chicks! Welcome
 

Today - Gym :tread: 45 minutes, 3 miles.........felt good....
Welcome EweWho/Regina.... :wave:

:lol: Regina the beast is a treadmill.. I hate it and I hate doing it but I know the fat that I have is not going to go away unless I use it... so yes its kicking my butt, my goal is to wear it out before it wears me out.. :lol: welcome by the way!

Star when you do the treadmill do you do it at diff inclines or just flat ?? Just curious, yesterday I cycled thru the 2 min at each incline and it took forever.. but I guess after I got to about 5.5% I had to back off the speed a little.. or maybe it was a lot.. :lol: I didn't want to die in the basement alone.. :lol:

treadmill.....3 miles... 62 min.... feels good now that im sitting down.... :lol:

Beth - Looks like you picked up your speed some - way to go!
I have bunions and so I can't use the incline more than like .05, or so says my foot doctor. Since I'm trying to avoid surgery forever if I can, I don't go any higher than that. I still burn the same calories and do other exercises for butt, inner and outer thighs. Oh I guess that's why you were slower the other day, messing with the incline....ha-ha

:lol: yeah Star I was screwing around with the incline... I guess that must be working my butt and thighs because Im soooooo sore there now... :lol: since I don't have other machines to do im guessing thats the way I should do it do you think??

Beth - I think I should be asking you the questions - I just read the other thread where you lost 5 inches in a month - that is awesome.....so just keep on doing what your doing...it's working! Way to Go and give the beast a hug....lol

Alright I have decided I am going to start posting here as well maybe it will keep me motivated doing my treadmill or the dust collector as i tend to call it :dizzy: I have 20 minutes planned. Beth i think i will use your method of 5 min warm up and then incline every 2 min. What speed do you normally use? I was doing a 5 min warm up and then increasing the speed every few minutes instead of the incline think i will mix it up a bit. Im also starting my Situps/crunches tonight. Wish me luck......

Hi Britt,

I just got on my treadmill, for the first time in a long time, today. I went 3 miles in an hour, no incline. It was all could do to get it done being flat!!! I have short legs and a short stride and to go much faster I am practically jogging. I would like to start jogging but will have to get some weight off first or I will blow a knee!! I also bought a Bowflex after Christmas and need to start getting back to that everyday. I'm just proud of myself for doing the hour on the treadmill!! I weigh in this afternoon as its day #2 for TO. Anxious to see how I've done. Sounds like people go back on TO periodically?

I do wish you luch with the crunches!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
