Hi Aphil, I've seen your name on the boards before but haven't had the chance to get to know you. So anyway glad that I have the opportunity now. Happy that you are joining us, sounds as if you really have a great workout routine.
Well-I go tmy 45 minutes in for the day...
850-45+805 left for the month!
Thanks for the welcome SEMO, I have seen you around here as well...my workout schedule is pretty varied. I do this for a few reasons...I weight train my full body on Mondays and Fridays-to allow for the minimum 48 hours of rest needed between weight training all body parts-with the exception of the abs, which can be strenght trained daily. I do a session of Pilates on Wednesdays-which is giving extra work on my abs, as well as strengthening and stretching my back-it has done wonders for me, as I used to have chronic back pain. I have an hour bellydance class each week on Tuesdays, and I practice bellydancing at home on Thursdays-I count this towards my cardio exercise. I do yoga on Saturdays and Sundays, for relaxation, extra stretching and aligning of my back, and to get more flexibility, which helps in doing certain moves in Middle Eastern dance-so it helps in many ways. Sometimes I have an extra bit of dancing in on the weekend, if I just feel like doing it, or there is an open house or such at the dance collective-or a light wal outside if it is a nice day.
So-I exercise every day...but doing different things at different intensities-and I never get bored. The last few years I have truly made it a part of my life-which is the whole idea.
This thread is a good idea...all of those 15 minutes here and 30 minutes there really add up!

Well I did 10 minutes of ab work, and I have a dance class that starts in just a bit-it is an hour long, but I'll put it as 50 minutes-for when we are learning a new move or watching someone else do something. So-60 minutes today.

590-40=550
KitKat, I am seeing a difference, NO MORE SHOULDER PADS, and my abs are getting better, not greatyet but better than they were. I have to get serious about my eating tho, havn't lost a pound since I started. I did start a low carb diet on Monday so we'll see how it goes. Day 37 today.
I got 30 minutes of Pilates in today...
850 start/170 done/680 left
You know-this is a really great way of looking at our exercise. I always see my 30 minutes, or 1 hour as just that. It is great to see it from a weekly and monthly point of view-to see those minutes turn into hours and hours...
I am down another pound to 180-I am totally going to be doing a happy dance when I am in the 170's. I have been working hard, and the last couple pounds that have come off are really starting to reveal some definition in my shoulders and biceps.
Aphil
but I started again this week
You'll be in the 170's by next week. WooHoo.
