Hey everyone! I hate working out, so when I do I feel like it's an accomplishment. So here's where we can all track our exercise and feel good about it!
So today I did:
-the 30 day shred DVD for 25 minutes
-I earned 1 activity point

Yeah...today I wasn't going to work out because it is EXTREMELY windy outside and I had an early group meeting for class...
but I took the bus to the grocery store on the way back from school, then walked the 15 blocks home with about 15 pounds of groceries in my backpack! hey anything counts right?
I'm not adding any activity points for this though

I swam 120 lengths of the pool with swim fins on my feet (for an extra work-out on my legs). It took 59 minutes. This is the longest pool swim since I started this program. Woo hoo!

You bet anything counts! It's all about making changes like this that become part of the routine, so we get movement in without even thinking!

WOW! That is awesome!!
I just finished with an hour of TurboJam - 45 minutes of TurboSculpt and 15 minutes of focused ab work. I am going to HURT tomorrow, I have not done any strength training-type activities since... early spring? It was about time!! I also haven't done anything exercise-wise generally for a week and a half, so today was long overdue!
My plan for tomorrow is to go for a long walk or a shortish jog. I will see how I feel, but I have to do one or the other!

My DH and I have been boxing on our new Wii this evening, and my arms are killing me, lol. I really worked up a sweat, and got my heart rate up, all while having fun. (btw, I beat him, woohoo! )

I don't have a Wii, but played the boxing when I visited my sister some months ago. I really threw myself into beating up that virtual opponent and BOY was I sore the next day! It's made me want to get a punching bag

Today I got on the elliptical machine for a half hour. I think the elliptical is going to have to be my wintertime activity besides livingroom DVDs - I just can't deal with the treadmill. It's so satisfying to run outside and actually go somewhere, I can't seem to adjust to the stationary TM dynamic and it was making me hate running... So I won't force myself.
But hurray for the elliptical, it was actually a lot of fun, and pretty hard on the thighs!

I too am an elliptical gal - burn more calories in the same amount of time (rather than the treadmill) less where and tear on the joints - and afternoon take 2 aspirin to ward off the muscle aches! Oh yeah, it's the elliptical for me

Woo hoo, I had my first 2-a-day today! (It was a day off work)
I did strength training for an hour with my trainer this am (burned 400cal) , then my sis called me later and asked if I could go walking. 3 brisk miles we went!!!
I'm feeling pretty sore and exhausted now, and about ready for bed. But it's a good feeling!!!
