23 more minutes walking.

Classes start tomorrow so I have a new schedule. I really need to make a serious plan for how exercise will fit into this new schedule. I'm going to write my thoughts about this here for accountability's sake, so bear with me.

Monday/Wednesday/Friday I teach at 8, so exercise before I leave the house isn't feasible (I'm just not one of you early birds). I can take a short walk after my 8 a.m. class--maybe to the student union for a cup of coffee? Or I can possibly park further away and walk a little to get to class. In any case, I can probably get 10-20 minutes of walking in during the morning. If the weather's good, I should go to the state park after dinner for a walk; if not I can do some time on a DVD in the a/c at home. Tuesdays will be a lot like MWF; Thursdays I'll be able to stay home in the a.m., so I can exercise after breakfast and before leaving the house. Weekends I'll try to get to a park or if it's too hot I'll walk in the mall.

Group total: 10,410 + 23 = 10,433

Hi everyone, I'm new here, but figured I would just jump in and contribute!
I've been working out to TurboJam for the last week, as well as some swimming. Tonight I put in 45 min on the treadmill. Will have more to add tomorrow!

Group total:10433 + my 45 = 10478

Angela -- Good luck with the new term!!!

Welcome Christine!!!

As for me, I spent a lot of time hauling, lifting and moving things in my dad's attic, and also got some walking in. I don't know how to count it all, as the hauling came in bursts. So, I'm just going to claim my 40 min a day for the past 4 days (my goal). That would be 160 minutes.

Group total ~ 10,478 + 160 =10,638 min

60 minutes walking

group total = 10,638 + 60 = 10,938

personal total = 1130/1200

I am going to count two hours of hauling on Saturday, although it was probably more than that. My total is now 945.

The group total is now 10,938 + 120 = 11,058

50 min of bike riding before da rain!

Group total = 11,058 + 50 = 11,108



Personal goal = 836/1000

Lots of yard work.

Personal Goal: 120 + 540 = 660

Group Total: 120 + 11,108 = 11,228

I soooo did not want to work out today! I came home from the office with a headache, took some excedrin and hit the couch. I didn't think I'd make it up again, but, I put in Turbo Jam and did the 20 min workout, that was enough to motivate me for more, so I also did 20 min sculpt & 20 min abs. I will be feeling this tomorrow!! Burn baby burn...=-)

Group Total: 11,228 + 60 = 11,288

60 minutes aerobics

group total - 11,288 + 60 = 11,348

personal 1190/1200

30 minutes walking.

Alas, I woke up this morning with serious low back pain. Don't know if I'll be able to exercise, although at some point I'll do some back exercises.

Group total: 11,348 + 30 = 11,378

60 minutes on the elliptical last night, bringing my total to 1005.

The group total is now 11,378 + 60 = 11,438

I'm trying to focus my toning on my abs now, so I did 2 exercise programs this morning: Yoga for Abs and Core Performance. About 10 minutes each, so that's 20 mins for me.

Group Total 11,438 + 20 = 11,458

Walk - 60 minutes


group total - 11,458 + 60 = 11,518

personal total - 1250/1200

I really really really really didn't want to go to the gym today. I had convinced myself I would go home, have a snack, take a nap, and then exercise on the treadmill at home. But I knew it would be soooo hard to get myself moving then and it's not as good a workout as I can get on the elliptical. So, I dragged myself to the gym and just did it. 35 minutes. yay me.

Group total ~ 11,518 + 35 = 11,553 min

40 min cardio & 20 min ab work

Group Total 11,553 + 60 = 11,613
