  • Quote: Today I did a 60 minute hip hop class at the gym.
    I like to keep track of how many days and minutes I exercise each month. I have been putting money in a savings account from the days I exercise ($3 a day) and it is starting to add up. I am saving up for a NICE watch!

    Totals for April:

    1 day
    60 minutes
    April 2: 45 minutes elliptical

    April 3: 60 minutes spin class

    April 4: 35 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes weights (50 total)

    Totals:
    4 days
    215 minutes
  • Did not manage to do my 9 mile run on Saturday... gale force winds kept me inside. I've tried to run in 40 mph winds and I just get frustrated and mad because I feel like I'm running in slow-mo. I did however manage to make it to the gym for a 5k on the treadmill, so at least I got some exercise in.

    Yesterday- no exercise since we were out of town all day. Today is a 5 miler during lunch, though!
  • I'm a tad bit behind here.

    Friday 4/2-30 minutes elliptical (2.5 miles)
    Sunday 4/4-18 holes of golf, walked the course--I should wear my pedometer next time to see the steps
    Monday 4/5-30 minutes elliptical (2.5 miles)
  • 4/3 - 7 hours of cleaning, carrying and closet organizing
    4/4 - 9 miles at the park
    4/5 - 8 hours of cleaning, carrying and office organizing

    Lots of functional fitness here this weekend.
  • Sounds like you've been doing a lot of cleaning, carrying and organizing Shannon!
  • You took the words out of my mouth, Allison!
  • Sunday:
    swim, about 21 min total:
    1 lap freestyle
    1 lap backstroke
    4x25's with 15s rest
    4x50's with 30s rest
    1 lap kicking freestyle
    1 length dolphin kick
    1 length breaststroke kick
    1 lap breaststroke
    1 lap backstroke

    Later that day, at least 1 hour hike with the dog
  • Another 30 minutes on the elliptical this morning. 2.5 miles.
  • At least an hour walking.
    35 mins in a pool full of the under 14s: good amount of stretching and a little bit of swimming.
  • Birch, you crack me up!

    Monday: whole body workout (per my plan), 45 minutes, but tough - ouch!
    Tuesday: LB workout, about 1 hour
  • Today: 3 mile HIIT (35 minutes)
  • Monday - off day... really off... no more cleaning, carrying & organizing.

    Today - 6.15 miles at the park. DH went too, and did almost 4 miles, his longest run to date. This is 7th run, and today the pollen was like a yellow haze which couldn't have been good for his asthma but he stuck with it. I'm so proud.
  • Yesterday I did a mega run, and I'm so proud of it...in 75 minutes, I did a 5k of sprint intervals (at 9mph, with 2 min at 4mph recovery), then 4 10min miles, for a total of 7.1 miles. It made me start thinking over things like "train for a half marathon". And then I did a full 45 min of intense yoga, and it felt amazing.

    Today would normally be a lifting day, but I had to get lame-o cortisone injections this morning, so that wasn't happening. But I pinned that arm up to my side and did 80 min on the incline trainer, using sheer willpower and dedication. And I'm pretty proud of that too!
  • Monday: dog walk
    Tuesday:
    5 min warmup treadmill walk
    3x10 squats with 2x15# dumbbells alternating with
    3x10 push-ups on the bench
    3x10 lunges with 2x15# dumbbells alternating with
    3x10 single-arm rows with 1x20# dumbbell
    3 planks, 40 seconds each
    5 min stretching

    in the evening, 30 min dog walk
  • Another 30 minutes on the elliptical this morning.
