  • Last night I did 45 minutes of strength training while we watched The Chronicles of Narnia. I love multi-tasking! That brings my total to 997.

    The group total is now 10,640 + 45 = 10,685
  • 10,685+70=10,755
  • Took myself to the gym this morning. I am wanting to do the treadmill more, since it's a better workout for me than my bike at home, and my knee seems to be doing better.

    I was hoping to do 60 minutes...but I overestimated the health of my knee and, more than anything else, my cardio endurance at the higher intensity of the treadmill. So, I listened to my body and did my 5 minutes of warm up, and a 30-minute Hills program at 2.8 mph. I am happy to report my knee did very well, even at the 1.5% incline! All in all, the machine tells me, I climbed 21 feet. Not bad, really. I think my goal for this week is to do another 2 sessions of 30 minutes each on the treadmill and do the rest of my workouts at home on my bike.

    New Group Total 10,755 + 35 = 10,790


    And Nancy, I'm glad your vacation went so well. I am going to have to follow your example and get my butt in motion while watching TV. Seems like the optimal way of multi-tasking! :-)

    Cheers all!
  • I feel great - did my 90 minute workout this a.m. so...

    90 + 10,790 = 10,880
  • 45 min of cardio

    10,880 +45=10,925
  • Went for a nice brisk (4 mph) walk today with mom for 30 mins. Then, we went bike riding for 30 minutes this afternoon.
    60 mins for the day, and brings me to 835 mins for the month, which is PAST my goal!

    10,925+60=10,985
  • 60 minutes over the last couple of days

    10,985+60 = 11,045
  • Count my 30 minutes walking and 15 minute of lifting my 14 lb 15.2 ozs son Tien as my little heavy weight for exercise! ha!!!

    New Group Total= 11,045+45= 11,090 Minutes!!!!!!!

    We Chicks Rock!
  • Yesterday - 30 minutes of yoga
    Today - 50 minutes on the balance ball


    I should be doing more cardio, but for now I will just be happy getting any sort of exercise!

    GROUP TOTAL 11,090 + 80 = 11,170
  • xena -- I know what you mean about wanting to get in more of something but just being grateful for anything... I feel like I'm teetering on the edge here, but I'll keep going.

    I only got a walk in with my dogs yesterday -- wanted to do more but it didn't happen... 17 minutes!

    Group total ~ 11,170 + 17 = 11,187 minute!
  • 30 mins on the bike and 20 mins aerobics in the classroom with the kids. It was a VERY wet and stormy day, so we couldn't do Daily Fitness outside.

    Personal Goal... 590 - 50 = 540 mins left of May's goal of 1800

    Group Total... 11,187 + 50 = 11,237

    We may have started slowly for May, but things are certainly looking up now.

    Take care,

    Zelma
  • Yesterday I managed to pop my nose out of my book just long enough to get in my required 10 minutes, which brings my total to 1007. I am excited to get back to the gym tonight, but I need to make sure and get there early so I can get home for the Idol finale!

    The group total is now 11,237 + 10 = 11,247
  • Took an extra water aerobics class, and invited DH along!

    Personal total: 666 mins + 55 = 721 min

    I need to do a lot to hit my personal goal, but I'm getting there!

    Group total 11,237 + 55 = 11,292
  • Add my 90 minute workout this a.m. to 11,292 =
