We're moving into this transitional month as fiercely as lions, hoping to depart from it as meek and calm as lambs.
The only achievement you need to be aiming for to be part of this thread is your own health.
You don't need to spend hours in the gym or in your home exercise room or out on the roads. Every step in a walk around a block counts. Housework and lugging groceries and gardening counts.
And I'm far from militaristic, but I liked the big smile on the Korean soldier nearest to the camera. Looks like she's having fun with her high kick.
60 minute spin class, the usual peddling
60 minute Pilates mat class, absolutely packed, like everyone's taking advantage of dry, clear roads (despite the lingering frigid temperatures) to be with other people & in other settings before the coming snowstorm shuts us all in again.
March 1: 100 minutes bikram yoga; in the afternoon I ventured to the pool at my gym to try swimming laps. It was as I thought....hard! I made 12 laps and was dying! I'm sure I'll have to build up endurance. Maybe 15 minutes swimming? And swimming makes me so hungry!
30 minutes Cybex arc trainer, hill intervals, resistance at 10, nowhere near as difficult as the StairMaster -- but I looked at that thing and felt bored with it.
45 minutes shoulders, bicep & tricep routine
45 minutes leg routine
March 2: 10 miles running treadmill (1:28:30)
30 minutes foam rolling
My spring fever has also manifested itself by an irresistible need to organize and clean. This meant a trip to Lowe's yesterday and over 4 hours today scrubbing, painting, moving things - I am WIPED. I had to burn some cals though!!

March 2: I was just exhausted today like way more than I should have been! And starving! All from swimming 12 laps I'm not used to??
100 minutes bikram yoga today
Saturday, March 1 (I typed "May" accidentally, I WISH!): 3.06 miles treadmill running (26 and something), 10 minutes backwards treadmill walking/forwards incline walking. Almost threw up because I went too soon after eating.
Sunday, March 2: rest day
Monday, March 3 AM: 1 mile warmup on treadmill, barbell squats: 1 x 8 at 55 lb, 2 x 8 at 95 lb, 1 x 6 at 100 lb. 50 KB deadlifts at 45 lb. Calf raises, 3 x 8 Bulgarian split squats (40 lb), planks.
45 minute spin class, again skipping the weight-lifting intervals to pedal away, and feeling delighted to have gotten in my exercise at 6 AM, leaving the evening free for whatever
