Couldn't make Jazzercise last night, due to late meeting with Attorney at work....darn.
Has already decided that I need to kick my plan up a notch (slacking alittle like Jen..lol)
So I went home and went to our apartment gym. yeah the one I complained about cuz they don't open til 10am. I knew it was small, but to my enjoyment there was a little color tv in the corner. There was a treadmill, eliptical and recumbent bike, all programmable......whew-hoo......
Eliptical - 30 minutes
Recumbent Bike - 15 minutes
Treadmill - 15 minutes
I went home all sweaty and very happy to discover it was so convienent and enjoyable. I think I will use it on a regular basis. There was no one else in there so I got to control the romote AND I could of watched Lifetime is I wanted to.....lol
Flash to this a.m.
Gym - Treadmill 60 minutes at 4 instead of 45 minutes at 3.7 - I was a beautiful color red.....lol
Oh and Jen, I jogged for one minute (gotta start somewhere)........

One more item of interest. Remember when I went on and on how Michael Thruman taught about the "target heart rate - stored fat burning rate"? Well I have read enuf now and I take everything I said back.....Read many articles and posts on here, bottom line is calories in - calories out......the faster you work the more you burn.....
(Thank God, not too many people listen to me anyhow. Now, Michael Thurman is a whole nother story)......

News Flash - my calfs are hurting - like I worked really hard....lol Mission accomplished....

Star - remember to stretch! Interesting what you posted about target heart rate -- I've seen it both ways- but most of what I've seen about fat burning zone was stuff published/or taped in the early 90s?

Julie

Put my first dollar in my Shoe Fund this morning! :lol: 30 minutes on the treadmill at 2.5-2.8 (this is a brisk walk for me and my shorty-short legs!) and 2% incline. Same planned for the rest of the week.

Julie - "Star - remember to stretch!" Your right, I never take the time, and I love it when I do it.....thanks...

Fiona - It's so good to have you back......it's been alittle slow without you around...

this a.m. - Gym - Light weights - 45 minutes
Treadmill - 20 minutes
Good workout today!

Okay last night my calfs still hurt. But then later on my feet kept on cramping. Then I remembered my foot doctor had told me (years ago) to never use the incline on the treadmill becuz it would hurt my instep due to my bunions being so bad. Well usually I had done what he suggested. But yesterday I got a wild hair and wanted to do more faster and harder.....DUH......
The cramps finally went away after midnight. needless to say I won't use the incline again......

Oh-rah
 

Jazzercise last night, it was body sculpt night -toning bands, light hand weights, exercise ball - one hour :strong: Starting to really like it.

Today
Gym - Cardio :tread: Have cranked it up a notch to speed of 4 did one hour, went 4 miles, burned 330 calories. No incline due to bunion pain ;) and did stretch.....oh-rah

:cheer: :coach: :cheer:

Star-You go girl!

I did my typical 3.6 miles, but jogged about a third of it-so that felt great!

Jen - yesterday I jogged for (are you ready?) for a 'minute'....lol I want to start adding jogging in there. back in the day, I jogged 3 miles a day. My problem is that being overweight and jogging isn't good so I stopped years ago. Now I have to contend with keeping my boobs in line, so I need to buy a really good really tight jogging bra. Congrats to you on your jog!
Jen - WE ROCK - :cheer: :cp: :cheer:

Same here with the chest....glad that's went down some with the weight loss, but only from DD to D

I went from a DD to a D and now to a C.......One girl at my gym runs on the treadmill, (she's about 15 pounds overweight) wears three (3) exercise bras. Now to me that is too much work, I think if I go to a good store I can get one to do the job........
Does it bother you Jen?

it does a little, but a good bra helps a lot!!! 2-3 bras is way to much work for me

Tonight is Jazzercise - the dancy kind.... :dancer: :cb: :dancer:
Report back tomorrow....

Hey chickies - I haven't put any more dollars in my workout/shoe fund. :( This morning went to the chiropractor instead - and boy do I feel good! I've got a meeting tonight then will probably do my 30 minutes late tonight. I love having a 24 hour gym. :) Will report back!
