Exercise Thread Week of June 24th--29th
 

It seemed like having this thread to look to helped keep me going with the exercise. I thought I would post another week of it and see if it helped anyone else.



My goal for this week is to workout at least 4 times this week and to make one of those workouts one of my new "The Firm" weight training workouts.

Up and accounted for!!! had a hard time getting there, and getting started no air!! I must go earlier as it was way to hott to get going. but i did a good leg work out and added 200 crunches in it. did only 10 min warmup and cool down.

my goal is 6 times this week

My goal
 

I still want to walk 30 brisk minutes (I can't stand to stroll!) every other day this week. If I can make it to the end of the week without any foot injuries, I will claim myself tendonitis free and up my quota next week.

This weekly list is great!

Well I did the eliptical yesterday for 10 WHOLE MINUTES...which is a miracle for me, and thats no joking :lol:

Hope I can repeat it again tonight :)

This is a great thread, thanks Annie.

Well, I gardened (heavy stuff) for two whole hours yesterday so that has to count. Also did a 2K walk with Lucy after dinner last night.

Alright!! There are 5 of us already!! Great start for the week!

Monday--Did 2 Mile Walk Away Tape 35 minutes.

Tuesday--Did the 3 Mile Walk Away Tape!!! :strong: 48 minutes. Faster pace and LOTS more weight use!! I can FEEL it!:D

Keep up the good work everybody!!:jig:

wellllllllll...
 

Monday, I was too tired, today I over slept, wonder what my excuse will be for tomorrow?

Seriously though, I did ride my exercise bike for 30 minutes. I may go down to my son's after I get home from work and do water aerobics in his pool. But I definately will get up and get to the club tomorrow. I only have 30 days until my surgery and I want to be in the best condition possible so that the surgery will go well.

Leens, I have a question about your eliptical trainer. Is it loud and (ok there were two!) does it take up much space? I am looking for something not so loud and not so big to try and sneak into the living room. (yeah right) I need variety! A view and some MTV would be a nice change.

Ruth, 2 hours gardening and 2k is great! Wow, I dunno why I am asking about eliptical trainers when I SHOULD be outside walking and exercising in this great weather.

Jennifer I like doing the exercise insede better as i can get more focused. I do mine at the local Y

additin for my exercise. I just finished 7 hours of unsuccessful plumbng but i sure worked up several sweats!!!

DH was out of town til yesterday soooo no exercise for me, could not get to the Y...today is a new day however....

Wednesday-treadmill 30 minutes

Isn't it great that we get a new day every morning? :D

I gardened in the heat for two hours yesterday and will be doing the same shortly. This has to count, right? I am planning on joining the 7 p.m. village walkers (new group) for a 3K walk IF we don't get a storm as predicted. Hershey needs it and so do I.

Amen Ruth! Thank goodness for those fresh starts every day.

I got in my 3 mile walk away tape again this morning. It loosened up the muscles and joints from yesterday's workout.:jig:

One day at time right?????:D

It was raining when I left work yesterday, so I didn't stop by my son's pool. I did make it to the club this morning, even though I was late, but I did get in one day.

Oh Whoah's Me !!

I haven't been doing anything the past few days, just cleaning when I get home at night. Guess its better than nuthin. My eating has been bad the past 2 days too.....back to the drawing board :lol:

I'm going to patent the mouth zipper with locks.

Love, Leens :dizzy:

well I actually got to water aerobics on time this morning, so I did 30 minutes on the bike and 1 hour in the water.

Waahhhhhh!
 

Annie, you are smart for putting yourself first, because I didn't and I ran out of time. I tried to plan on walking after work last night and then I was late getting home. It was almost 9 when I came in. Ate a light dinner and called it quits for exercising. Went to bed too soon, set the alarm clock wrong and didn't wake up this morning in time to walk before work, and by the time I got home tonite my foot hurt and I was exhausted. I seriously doubt I can walk tomorrow either because I will be working about 12 hours. I don't think my feet can handle that!

well I missed 2 days due to a visitor (my father ans we had a wonderful 3 hour talk in the morning, and he came the day before immediatly after the plumbing incident was done I had not even had a chance to take a shower!!

and the first day was missed due to a major plumbing explosion in the hose but i rebuilt the whole thing MYSELF!!! with the help of a 6 year old little girl that i was watching (OH LOTS OF HELP:dizzy: )

so it is off for the task now with pleasure!!

Just a quick pop in--I did get in a 2 mile walk away tape this morning before I started packing up the van. It actually felt easy after doing the 3 mile one the last few days!!

Jennifer, hope your foot gets to feeling better.

Leens, Cleaning should count for something.

Nasus, all that plumbing definitely counts as aerobic work!!

ageoldie, good job!

Not only did I go to the health club to do water aerobic by myself on Saturday (no scheduled classes on Sat) I got Alvin to go with me!!! It's the first time he's tried to do anykind of exercise in several years. He walked in the water about 30 minutes all told. I said it is so easy to go nonstop for a whole hour with an instructor telling you what to do, but trying to remember what to do on my own was hard. After about 40 minutes, I called it quits.

Way to go Barb. Alvin must feel really goo d about that too!!!
