Hi, I made my 800 mins for April, lots of walking at my parent's house at the week end. I am keeping it at this level for the moment, time (for house work & the boys) and energy stop me doing more.
Add 60 mins walking today for me. GROUP TOTAL 685 +60=745 MY TOTAL 60 (Aim 800) xxsharon
Didn't go on the treadmill this morning as my knee was still sore. I just WALKED laps of the oval with the kids for 15 mins, which was fine. I then went on the treadmill, just walking at 4.5mph, for 45 mins this evening.
Personal Goal... 1640 - 60 = 1580 mins left of May's goal of 1800
Did 35 minutes of cardio today - 5 warm up, 25 fast paced, 5 cool down. Somehow it didn't quite feel like a workout. I think I need to increase the tension on my bike. Or maybe I'm just used to longer session. Who knows? :-)
Wyllen - It may be a little ambitious, but I am going to say August 10 as my prediction on when we hit 100,000.
I did another hour at the gym tonight - 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the treadmill. For the last 5 minuntes on the elliptical I went up to level 3 - my first time adding some resistance. That brings my total to 165.
Well, I just couldn't stay away from the bike this evening...I was feeling like I didn't work out this morning by only doing 35 minutes. So, I did 40 minutes tonite.
Group Total = 1085 + 40 = 1125
If Covert Bailey is right (see my quote below), I'll be "cured" in a jiffy! LOL
10 min warmup, plus 30 min strength training. didn't do my lower-body exercises cuz i'm running late. Partly cuz I woke up late (AGAIN!!!!) and partly cuz I added either an extra 5 - 10 reps for each movement or a third set for the muscles I couldn't push beyond the original 2/10 I did on Tuesday. I will come back home in the evening and do a second round of abs plus the lower body work.
Group total: 1140 + 10 + 30 = 1180
Dear Wonderful Wyllenn & fellow exercise buddies… I’ve been MIA on this thread for the last month, but I’ve located my bootstraps & I’m pulling up hard!
This month I’m setting a goal of exercising 30 separate times for a minimum of 5 minutes each. Since just STARTING to exercise is a real sticking point for me, especially lately, I’m just committing to STARTING 30 times. I never exercise for only 5 minutes, it’s just that those first 5 minutes are often what stand between me and a good workout. This way if I get behind they’re less intimidating to try to make up, I just have to exercise a second time some days, and whatever minutes I end up doing I’ll contribute to the list… and to my own health! I’m so sick of not making my goals, and then even when I’m doing relatively well, if something messes me up for a few days I feel like I’ve blown the whole month because I can’t make up enough to reach goal. I feel like the 30x is doable.
I’m off to a slow re-start, but it IS after all a start (and a big improvement to sitting on my double-wide wagon … fast walking with some jogging – 20 minutes tonight.
i got 120 minutes of walking with my son in his stroller up and down hills--two times today. it felt awesome to walk outside in this beautiful weather.
